Hey guys,
Well, I've been eyeing a 6.5 or 7mm-08 for a while now. Wanted one for myself and for the kids to use eventually.
A buddy e-mailed me the sale Cabela's has on the Savage 12FL so I decided why not.
I reload, but haven't shot or played around with a 6.5 before. I plan on mounting a VX3i on it, maybe try a CDS dial.
So, any recommendations for a recipe? 130 vs 140 grain rounds? I use Accubonds for the most part, and prefer Nosler since I have a buddy that lives in Bend and can score some factory rejects for cheap.
I prefer the speed of the 130 grain round, but the gun has a 26" barrel so maybe 140 grain rounds won't be too much of a slouch.
Looking forward to trying this one out. After spending a few hours shooting the .338 win mag yesterday, I won't mind a lighter recoiling gun!
