I have a pair of 6.5CM for hunting and I am using Hornady brass now and really don't have any complaints. I will keep using it going forward.

I also have a 6.5CM being built for f-class/playing around and I am going to start with the Lapua small primer brass. I expect to shoot H4350 and won't be shooting in the cold, so hopefully I will get even better case life than I do with the Hornady.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
