6.5 BEANMORE

[ButterBean]

I wonder how long it will be before Lee makes a FCD for this soon to be successful caliber

The 260 REM FCD will work with the BEANMORE

 

[ButterBean]

P/N for the dies? I can't quite make out who made the brass. I assume that I can just fire form some CM brass, but 50 or 100 of the correct headstamp would be cool! Already got an inquiry in to Krieger. Thinking to set aside the 7-08 small shank build for this.

It's Bertram Brass and call Steve at HAMMER for the die info

Can we fireform using 260 Rem brass?

My 20" Savage lightweight 6.5CM is giving me over 3400 with the 85gr HH over StaBall MATCH.....what do you think the BeanMore would give me for fps in that rifle? i.e. how much would I gain with a BeanMore upgrade?

OK, that's a nice rig right there...you know you have to just suck it up and go shoot it! Which six five is it most like in design and performance?

Yes 260 brass will work and 150-200 FPS over the Needmoor

Ingenuity & smarts will usually make things better.
.260 Rem small primer brass is available, when FF'ed can be made into .243W also.

It's a 308 Parent case so either will work

Jolly old St ButterBean

I know it's too late for this christmas but I would really like a 25 Beanmore for next Christmas.

You seem to be the guy that could make it happen.
