Just picked up my 6.5 from American Precision (Patriot Arms)...
Read all the articles on the round but need to know where to start the powder charge to work up a load. Thanks! Jim
Re: 18" barrel and chrono numbers
Building a nice stick like that and not shooting tuned handloads is like putting 87 octain in a porche!
I used to have a 18" 700P barreled action that was getting aroung 2750 with 168 handloads according to the JBM ballistic calculator....never shot it over...
