Seems like a fun and user friendly round. Anyone know who's gonna be making factory ammo for it and who will be chambering rifles for it? (and I hope they get em twisted right)
Thx
Dober The Ruger Mark II wears a semi-heavy twenty-eight inch stainless barrel that has a one-in-eight-inch twist to stabilize those long 6.5mm bullets that fly so well.

Dober 1:8 for the long stuff. Ruger and Savage rifles. Even Savage is 1:8 for 260 Rem now. Break out the Scenars and VLDs. I wouldn't hold my breath for Remmy to do anything right. I think Savage has 6 rifles chambered in 260 this year. Ranging from 22" lightweight to LRPV heavy weight.

Even a T3 would make me happy, as I am so easy to please.

I talked to Rem at the NRA show about the 260 and they said "no way" a 1/8 would ever be in the works.

You guys are just wasting your time.
Jim doesn't understand. I do understand. And I can read reloading/pressure data perfectly well. Like I said, go to the Nosler site and try to fin ANY Data for a 6.5 that even comes within 100 FPS of 3,000 FPS with a 120g bullet. Same with Hodgdon. I even provided the Nosler link- which you conveniently ignore because it does not suit your purpose of promoting gross overloads to the unknowing.. Also, only a dumbphuck would take YOUR advice and redline rifles and brass to 65,000PSI with everyday loads.

I'd go for a 223 twisted 1:8 to shoot 75 and 80gr Amax from a 20-22" barrel, but who would want that? I know Rem wouldn't as the 9 twist is of limited access in their rifles.

Follow the link previously given to see Lapua 6.5x55 reloading data with a 120 grain bullet at 3056 FPS. But, of course, what would the Finns know about the 6.5x55?

The Ackley shooters do it every day. Even the 6.5x55 BJ Ackely shooters do, ask Bob Jourdan. He sent me his load data.

The only way they can see any REAL velocity gains is by shooting gross overloads compared to standard versions. I could care LESS what another crackpot such as yourself promotes in the way of unsafe, unpressure tested overloads. And people blow guns up and wreck brass in a few firings all the time running those pressures as well. Maybe we'll all get lucky and you will blow up one of your rifles at 65K and we will no longer have to see the drivel you post promoting gross overloads...

unsafe, unpressure tested overloads. So you're saying Lapua publishes unsafe, untested loads?

The Finns are loading the 6.5 hot like they load the 9mm hot. Big deal. Still does not mean they are safe SAMMI spec loads. And I bet it is still not 60K PSI

But, since your mentioned it, the Lapua VV data shows NO pressures and was fired in a 26.5" barrel. This discussion was started when SU-35 claimed the Swede Could BEAT the 6.5 creedmoor. Even with HOT Europoean loads, it will not do that given equal length barrels. The only way you could to it is to grossly OVERLOAD it. Which is what SU-35 has been promoting the whole time on this thread. thus his mention of 65 PSI loads..

So... wait a minute. Your challenge to us was to show a published load that came within 100 FPS of 3000. JB cited some. Somehow those don't count? I showed you one from Lapua, and somehow that doesn't count either? Even if you dial it back 50-60 FPS to account for the difference in barrel length? Quite independent from Lapua, I instrumented my 6.5x55 and came up with a load that shoots 6 FPS slower than Lapua at pressures below 60 KPSI. Somehow that doesn't count? Tough audience! I saw one of those once. It wasn't nearly as bad an experience as you seem to think.

That was after the fact. Go back and read the above. Your not lying. You just really don't know what the [bleep] you are talking about. When discussing apples to oranges- the 6.5 Swede, the .260 and the 6.5 Swede, given EQUAL barrel lengths, the Swede will not outdo either of the shorter cases. Even with hot European loads. You can keep promoting your 65K PSI overload, Ackley Improved horseochit smokescreen B.S. all you want , but those are the facts.
