    6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

    Interesting that the 130 grain was the weight of choice by Jack O'Conner and many others for so many years. The 130 grain in 6.5mm will have better ballistics.

    270 win 120gr sst

    H4895 is a powder that has worked well for reduced loads.

    22 CM cold weather primer

    Depends on brass used. SRP use 450. LRP, use 200. You may benefit with ball powders in very cold temps with 250.

    6mm ARC vs 6mm Creedmoor Shorty?

    No replacement for displacement. More volume in the case, more powder, more speed. At the top end, more doesn't get you much more velocity, just shorter barrel life.

    Fairly new to reloading - help with jamming please

    From your description of the second round firing when you pull the slide back and let it go forward again. It sounds like the second round is not letting the gun go into battery on feeding, but the second impact from pulling back puts it into battery. That means you have not done the sizing and...

    First time to see pressure signs? 6.5 PRC

    Best indicator is to measure at the .200 line with a caliper. .001 more than factory in that barrel is too much.

    Velocity change: virgin vs once fired?

    Inline stand for a press makes it really easy to reload at the range. Measuring powder is not so easy.

    R26 temp sensitivity test

    Hot loads with higher temperatures (85+) seem to be where people have had problems with RL26.

    Is the 6.5-284 dead?

    Some of the fast creed speeds come from pressures over 70 K. That is the only way you get those speeds from that case capacity.

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    Velocity requires pressure from a given case. When you are getting 6.5 PRC/6.5-06 velocity from a case with 10 grains water smaller capacity, you are probably over 70K psi. Tread carefully.

    Imr 7828 bs 7828 ssc

    The two have the same burn rate, but different densities. 7828 takes more volume for the same weight of powder. You could have trouble if you had a favorite max load of 7828SSC and tried to substitute 7828. The increased powder volume could cause excessive pressure.
