twist brux barrel on a blueprinted and trued M700 long action
any info would be a great help thanks
 
Re: 6.5-06 load data help

I shoot 140 vld's in my 6.5 06 with an 8.5 twist Krieger barrel using 52.5g of H1000 .I believe I load these about 10 off the lands as it is a hunting rifle and I don't jam my hunting rifles. It is a thin barreled light gun and it will shoot in the .2-.3 range for three shot groups.It will put out a hogs eye.
The usual "start lower as this could cause a thermonuclear accident in your gun" disclaimers apply.
