[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 911656, member: 51650"] Back in the day I loaded for my Dad's 6.5X68MS. The slow twist (1-14 I believe) limited us to 120gr pills. With the case packed with surplus H870 (no kidding, dunk the case in powder and scrape the excess off) we got 3400fps and zero pressure. The bolt would drop free with the barrel pointed to the sky. The 6.5X68 MS has all the potential that can be developed in 6.5mm. The down side is the requirement of a magnum length action. The RWS brass is the very best. It also needs a fast 1-8 twist or better. My problem is 375 Ruger brass is I have one it is hard enough to come by without you guys to elbow out of the way! KB [/QUOTE]
