John,
The 6.5x57 is looked down upon because it's far inferior to the 6.5x57R, the cartridge I used to fill my Montana whitetail doe tag this year.
Well there ya go J.B.>
I 'll let my Model 70 know that....
but until then, I seem to get more velocity out of it than I do my 260s... but then, it is on a long action...where bullets can be seated out there a long way...
I love it because it is easily a 6.5 x 55, and then some when handloaded, but I love it being "rare" yet just neck up Roberts Brass .007 to load for it.. ( with a definite preference for Win over Rem brass).....
is yours a 6.5 x 57R ( for Rimmed ) or a 6.5 x 57 B ( Barsness)?
