Anyone here done any work with the Dutch Mannlicher 6.5 x 53R and cast boolits ? I've got one that I made a new front sight for and got targeted @ 100 yds. with jacketed boolits and am going to begin with a Lyman 266469GC...any thoughts?

..............I can't see why it would have any peculiarities over any other 6.5mm other then possible bore and groove measurements. Slug the barrel, get a slug impression of the throat and check the twist. Then you'll know exactly what you're dealing with.
