Hey all, I am still a relative n00b to boolit casting. I was wondering if anybody knew of a 6.5 mm bullet in about the 120-125 grain range. I would like to use it in a 6.5 grendel mini-30 I am having done, but it would also be dual use in my 6.5x55 swede. any help is appreciated.

Oops guess the proper place for this would have been in the cast boolits section.:oops:

Lyman's 266455 casts out at 120-125 depending on alloy and shoots very well in my 6.5s. It is a Lovern design though and may not work well in the Grendle, remains to be seen though.

I use a NEI #24 in my 6.5 TCU. I had the front band left off and one of the 4 made without the gas check for fire forming brass. I chose it for the weight and the bore rider to fit the short neck and throat of the custom Contender barrel.
