Dave called me and wanted to shoot my 1919 6.5 Swede I customized long ago. I said OK, I have some loads.
I don't hunt with it anymore so I put my old Leopold target scope on it and changed powder to Varget.
I took a few shots to sight it at 100 and took a cap off a little water bottle, set it on edge with a stick to keep it on the rail in the wind. I set two 20 ga shells on the rail too.
Dave took the cap and a shell and I took the last shell.
I swear he was hugging and trying to kiss my rifle as we went up the hill! :bigsmyl2:
He called later wanting to change his 8mm Mauser to 6.5 and I told him that I did not think so. Make the 8mm shoot.
