I have hunted all my life and hunted a lot, these new bullets remind me on the old Remington bronze points. These are super accurate work well close as well as at a great distance. just sayin I don't post often but I feel great about touting the ability's of these bullets. I use them in a 6.5...

From what I hear it includes big game as well. Mags. are to be limited to Max 5 rounds. I have no problem with this, 6.5 Grendel and my 50 Beowulf should cover me. Big game 300 BLK and for varmints 5.65 should do all I need that is not my choice for woodchucks anyway. Fred

We will find out in March at the Annual meeting for a final approval, word has it it is a done deal. I have had brief discussions with people who said they knew the out come. I never in my wildest dreams they would let it happen. I said the same thing about running antlered and antlerless...

I did not think I would live long enough to be able to hunt with my AR's but I now can. limited to 5 round Mags. but that is fine with me. Kudos to the Game Commission for getting us hunting with modern rifles. gun)

6.5 or any Gibbs cases are 06' length. load safely fred

need help let me know I have been working with these since mid 80's.

If it works with 06' it works with gibbs cases unless you have a long lead in barrel. I have used 240 25 and 8mm Gibbs cases for yrs. for years. as a matter of fact I have a 6.5 Gibbs fire form barrel for a fire form gun left to me by my gunsmith. use that barrel to make my 25 cases.

Anyone needing brass fire formed for 6.5 or 25 gibbs let me know

Whitetail deer anywhere from 200 to 500 yards, from my rock pile Hilton warm and dry. I am not happy with Berger hunting the Hornady SST's OK not great. Nosler Accubond hunter best so far. LR hunter savage is a fine rifle just need to find a better bullet, I'm thinking the ELDX may be the...

Thank you for the reply if you don't mind what powders? I have just I have just started hunting with mine

Anyone using them in a 6.5 Creedmoor?

Thanks for the reply I found enough to get me started I'm an old wildcatter. I going to start with H 1000 and possibly try RE-22. I happen to have a large amount of WC-872 Military pull down powder on hand from the 90's I am itching try. I use it for heavy bullets in my 30X375MR 7MM Rem Mag...

It has been some time since i have had an opportunity to get the old 6.5X55AIX40 degree as marked on the dies that came with the rifle. Looking at case capacity very similar to 6.5 X 284 still nervous about loading without proven loads. any help would be greatly appreciated. Fred gun)

Remember ground hogs at 3 to 400 yards is not that easy unless you practice. really long range is where you seek it.
