Same here... but make that since 1998 in my case...

but I do have a couple of 6.5 x 55s and my favorite round.. a 6.5 x 57...

Love the 6.5 bore, but the Greedmoor doesn't offer me anything I don't have in spades with the other 6.5s...

a Grendal might be fun to play with....but then I can load down a 260 to those specs also... so really why?

Plus this past week over at our local range.. I've come home with a total of almost 200 cases of once fired 308 brass...
one pass thru the 260 die and I have 200 new once fired 260 cases....

haven't brought home ANY Greedmoor brass from the range...

probably half of it or so, I'll resize to 7/08 brass...got a Howa for cheap last year on sale at Sportsman's just to play with..
