After looking through some of the threads here, it seems that the 6.5 mauser may be ill suited to paper patching, especially the longer cast bullets like the Lee 170, but I sure would like to hear others experiences none-the-less.
Have you pp the 170 gr. with success for M96 rifles?
What sort of alloy are you using, hardness factors, etc.
What sort of starting point loads can you recommend, particularly with Alliant powders?
Do you have an alternative cast bullet for patching in these rifles?
