Thanks! The gun is probably more capable of a shooter than I am. I'm hoping to get a chance to use it on woodchuchs with some light boolits this summer. I definitely want to work up a good deer...

Joe,
Sorry it took so long to get back. I had to run last nite before you replied.
I've got it now! I had no idea that there was so much room in the chamber of these gun. The Swedes took a great...

Joe (I can call you Joe, right?)
It just seems like a long way to push that 06 shoulder down. You guys know your stuff, and I'm sure it can be done. As I mentioned, I don't have any experience...

It was a great shot, but I'm lokking at a 6.5 Swede loaded round next to a .270 loaded shell.
The very end of the 6.5 neck only comes to the base of the neck/ beginning of the shoulder.
That's...

StarMetal,
where did you find 30.06 military brass? Unless I'm missing something, our military hasn't used the 06 since Veitnam! Is somebody else using it, or did you find an old stock...

Well, I quit shooting milk jugs a long time ago! Hated having to dispose of the bodies. I'm pretty sure they're still open season here.

Wow! this is so ironic! I 'm getting ready to go shoot a 6.5 Swede that I just picked up.
I honestly had no idea there were heated debates on the Swede! This board just keeps getting better!

SteveL,
The Hodgden web site doesn't list Longshot with cast boolets. It does list it with a 158 xtp.
7.3-8.4g, 1,258-1394 fps., but the pressure seems kinda high. 31,700cup-43,200 cup. I...

I use 296 in my model 19 with 158 g xtp's. I think the load was 15.5g. That's about middle of the road for the Hornaday manual I have. It shows on the light side for the Lyman manuel.
In either...

I know for sure I got a Marlin 336 in .35 rem. (it was an early one from the little woman)
I just picked up a 6.5x 55 and some dies off of layaway last night that will be from the dog.
He always...

This is good to know! Being a synthetic oil that is kinda "stickey", I would guess that it would be good for long term storage. Some of my guns are keepsakes, meaning they have some meaning, or...

With the exception of a pistol (with a permit), it's illegal to carry a loaded gun in your car here.
Partly because of accidents, partly because they don't want people poaching. It makes sense to...

If you ask me standing on an atv, with a loaded gun leaning against it, while shooting no less.........these guys were taunting natural selection!

Saw a guy in the ER once with the back of his shoulder blown off. He was climbing into his treestand with his Remington 760 with the thing loaded and a "worse case scinario" happened........his...

I don't know about their casting pots, but all of my other Lee stuff is top notch. The only exception is I like my Lyman scale better. My low dollar perfect powder measurer out performs my Lyman...

Been lurking long enough! I've already gotten a wealth of info. from you folks. Figured it was time for me to join in.
I'm a long time hunter and have been reloading for pistols for 16 or 17...

I'm new to this site, so please bear with me! I don't know your experience level, but I May be able to point out a few observations. Your groups are moving low and right as the load gets hotter. ...
