I can't believe these have not sold yet.

6.5 SLR. .260 Rem case capacity, 30° shoulder, neck and shoulder design of the 6.5x47L (a well proven design for accuracy and long barrel/throat life), low case stretch, can use any .243/.260 brass, most readers are no turn necks using Winchester or Remington brass which are low cost and readily available, one pass through a FL die and you are basically formed so no AI fire forming needed, just to finish it off, more speed and case capacity than a 6.5 Creed or 6.5x47L. Takes big mulies at 600+ even by a 14 yeat old girl, And only a few cool guys have one.... L-R: .260 Rem, 6.5 SLR, 6.5 CM, 6.5x47L L-R: fire formed 6.5 SLR, 1st pass through FL die, .243 Win parent case Mine has a 27.75" barrel. Getting 2950fps from a 140 HVLD for my hot hunting loads, 2860fps from a 140 HVLD in my light target loads. 15# rifle w. brake recoils light enough to call your own hits on target. My light load brass have anywhere from 4-6 firings, and primer pockets are still tight in Rem brass. I trim about every 4th firing. I have 500 pieces of brass, 100 in my hunting loads, 300 in my light target loads, another 50 in a Barnes 127 LRX load at 3050fps, and 40ish in a 95 V-MAX @ almost 3500fps. Everything shoots in the .3-.4s and some much better.

Bump for a good scope.

It is a .22LR shoot. That leaves me out.

Have an email? I can email it to you and you can go shoot tomorrow.

SGKs open fantastic at high velocity. My .25-06AI used to love the 117 SGK @ 3500fps, game hated them. I now shoot 115 HVLDs though.

Sold

Thank Hynoon, great meeting you.

Haven't got any targets back yet. Wondering if the excitement is dying off. Taylor and I are shooting ours tomorrow.

Got the stars portion done this morning.

Vote for the Canyon Tree Frog here too. http://www.reptilesofaz.org/Turtle-Amphibs-Subpages/h-h-arenicolor.html

I have a 7E early rifle bull, and 3 late rifle bull tags in 7W to try and get filled. But, more importantly, God be with the firefighters risking their lives to put it out.

Nice resurrection of an 11 year old thread! Still pertinent info however.

Me too. Let me know.

got one today also. $20 off $150 or more.

16ga shells are pricey and selection sucks. Just go 12 or 20. I LOVE my O/Us.

General hunts for Taylor....2 tag soups (1 bull elk tag, 1 Gen mule deer tag), and these in the last 4 years. Go general hunts. I don't regret the added pressure we deal with one bit.

Me too. Great CS over there.

I always put my kids in for general hunts too. The youth draws are way more competitive than they used to be, and a lot of general hunts have better draw odds now.

I run the same Manfrotto 700rc2 on my tripods too.

Bullet proof scopes. I had one in the EBR-3 MIL. I prefer the EBR-1 & 3 better than the EBR-2 reticle.

I figured since I finally drew an elk tag this year after an 18 year dry spell, why not build a better "elk trap". I purchased a used Premier Heritage 5-25x56 and have a new McMillan adjustable Game Warden on order with the Wyatt's extended box. I will also be Cerakoting the metal. I think in flat black, but maybe in FDE or Coyote Tan. Depends on the colors in the stock. I ordered the "Coyote Ambush" color McMillan. Not a lightweight, but a decent weight for a LR rig. I won't be packing this thing around the mountains too much however. I have been shooting a 210 HVLD/215 Hybrid, and quite a few people have used my .300RUM to take their elk with these loads. I have a reduced load pushing a 210 HVLD @ 2960fps, and a full power load pushing a 215 Hybrid at 3120fps, Both loads have taken a few elk, and a few other animals too. But I figured I am always tinkering, so why not see if I can work up a full power load using the 230 Hybrid? So that is what I am starting. I did my usual, and went and bought 50 new pieces of Nosler .300RUM brass, some Retumbo, and 2 boxes of 230 grain Berger Hybrids. I weight sorted the brass, and one of the reasons I love Nosler brass, is they are very consistent. All 50 pieces were within .9 grains. The primer pockets were all consistent, and my trimmer didn't even touch a single one. Flash holes are also already deburred. That saves a lot of time and effort. All I did was neck size them, and check headspace on about half of them, again, all within .0015". They are about .006" short of my chamber, but will fire form just fine. I also measured and weighed the Berger 230 Hybrids. All were within .0015" base to ogive, and within .3 grains across 25 of the 100 that I checked. I annealed the brass after neck sizing also. I took a fired case I had shot previously and checked seating depth to lands with the 230 Hybrids. They came out about .0500" longer than the Wyatt's box will allow, but I always ladder test with the bullets touching the lands, and I will do seating depth testing and most likely seat them deeper anyway. I want these to be magazine length, so I will need a minimum of .0500" jump to fit the box, which will also reduce pressure. I worked up a ladder test with the 230 Hybrids. .5 grain increments. Probably could have stepped up to .8 (1% +/-) or even 1 grain at these levels, but kept it at .5. Starting charge weight Ending charge weight I went and sighted it in @ 200 with the lowest charge weight and 230s and got a baseline speed for my ladder test over the weekend. 2860fps. I only shot my ladder test at 351 yards, along with a few other rifles and loads I am working on. I can say that shooting about 40 rounds of magnum loads rings your bell by the end of the day. I forgot to take a photo of the ladder test and velocity results page in my book, but I will get them up soon. Needless to say, I think the 230s are going to shoot pretty well. I got slight pressure signs at 92.0 grains, an extractor mark on the brass, but primers were good, no sticky bolt lift, etc. so I stopped there. I have gotten extractor marks on other Nosler brass in loads that were not over pressure, so I think I was still OK, but I was pretty happy with the speeds I was getting, so I stopped anyway. Over 13 rounds, speeds ranged between 2860 & 3070ish. I had two very good nodes, low node was slower, in the 2860-2900 range, and a high node between 3040-3056. I had two hotter loads, 3060 & 3070ish, but one of them had the pressure, so not working those up. At 351 yards, I think my entire ladder test was about 3.5" across 13 different charge weights. My two nodes were both about 1" groups, with vertical separation in the .5" range. So I went home, and loaded up some charge weight testing loads for next weekend. Charge weights To be continued......

Someone is getting a great rifle.

SPF.

Nice find.
