More impressed than your 6.5ss? My ss has close to 1100 rounds on it and it's the og barrel. It was riches first 6.5 ss barrel.

The 6.5SS is my favorite cartridge I have ever shot. It still outruns the 6.5PRC/SI.
If I could only build one, it would be the SS.

Who wins?
True SA=SS
XM or LA=SI
Brass choices=SI
Headstamped brass=SS
No need to fire form=SS
Velocity=SS (barely)

If you already have a PRC, the SI is much easier to run and clean up the chamber. The SS would require a set back/tenon/re-time/chamber.

The 6.5SS outruns the 6.5PRC by quite a bit. Just more case volume. There is no replacement for displacement.

And, the SS is a little more efficient and fits nicely in a short action

Is anyone forming their own brass for the 25 SST and if so what are you starting with?

 

[Schw15]

Not much out there on the 300 mega. Been looking and nothing really. Looking at the long action reamer. Anyone make one yet bullet range 212 to 230?

I PM'ed you

I like the info guys but PLEASE PM me the loads so I can add to the pdf.

Just imagine trying to wade through this thread to find a load for every Sherman cartridge with each bullet and a different powder... the point of this was to have one place and a pdf to use.
Thanks

Where is the pdf with load data i can seem to find it
