I STILL do this!!!

Is that Astroturf or do you groom your lawn with a pair of scissors? Sweet build. Weight?

Yeah, you are still fairly low on the charge weight scale. I am betting you are in the 2700-2775fps range at the top end of your loads. I am not a fan of Hornady (or Federal) brass. For a 6.5CM, that I planned on handloading, I would go with Lapua, ADG or Alpha brass. WAY better than any others. Will last a lot longer, be more consistent, and much higher quality. For primers, I prefer BR or Match primers. CCI BR2 or Fed GM210M. They are more an upgrade than a necessity. H4350 is tough to beat for accuracy and temp stability. Great choice. Berger 140 HVLD, again, great choice. You will need to work on seating depth testing, as they can be picky sometimes. CBTO, I think you have the wrong measurement. No way a 6.5CM has a 3.125" CBTO (Cartridge Base To Ogive) You should be more like 2.190" or so. Even COAL would be long at 3.125". Should be like 2.825" to 2.995" to fit in the SA magazine, even with a Wyatt's Extended box.

If you haven't found pressure, unless you want to stay at a low charge, keep going. Looks like your node was 39.5 to 40.7gr. A little more info would help. Bullet? Powder? Primer? Case? CBTO/COAL? Velocity? Barrel lengrh? Twist rate?

Is it really only $1 more with scope?

This shouldn'tast long. Great price.

Hey Adam, did you ever take your firing pin to get looked at?

This is my wife's daily driver. This thing is going to get me arrested someday. Had a "bit" of work done to the motor.

Would like to inspect the 28 Nosler brass if it is indeed once fired. Would be willing to pick up the dies as well if brass is good.

I bet more of them speak English than they let on.

I got tired of my all black 6.5SS. So I pulled the stock, cleaned it, marked it, and did a quick paint job on it. 30 minutes start to finish coats. Just something to break up the all black for now. I will probably repaint it this fall, when I can take my time. Still hashing out the scheme.

Yep. That is the plan. Threw a quick 30 minute paint job on it. Shot this group yesterday @ 200 yards. Zeroed it where I wanted it. Then, over the course of 2+ hours, I took 3 separate cold bore shots @ 200 while working on other rifles.

This...is the ONLY Tangent Theta that matters around here. For Cliff's viewing pleasure....

Great stocks. I used to have one just like it on 7RM.

I have a Win 101 Deluxe Field grade 12ga, and I love it. My go-to for dove and quail. I used it once for duck....won't be shooting the 3" mags out of it again. Dang.

2nd in line. I will take it if Couespursuit does not. I am N. Phx and have cash.

I have one for a RUM, and for a Wyatt's box. If you mess yours up, I have a spare for you.

I LOVE my K624i.

Use Sierra 160-165, Nosler 160-168, or Berger 168 load data. For me, I use RL23 under my 175s. I would start at 54-55 and go up from there, like PRDATR suggested. You should get pretty good speeds. I hit 3030 w. 175s. I would think you could get 3050+. I also run some 160 TMKs over H1000 for a super stable, yet milder load. I need to chrono them, but they are ridiculously accurate.

That sucks. No wildcats going to MX then. Good thing Rich is producing this now.... And .280AI is now a factory produced case too. Simple solution.....don't have your barrel stamped for cartridge designation.

About 6 years ago. 2012. I remember very clearly, as it was on my back up rifle on a Kaibab hunt. Luckily, my primary rifle, which also had a Leupold, worked fine. I only dialed twice on opening day. Once to pass up a shot on a good buck that did not give me a good shot angle, and then an hour later when I shot my buck @ 488. But not having a repeatable backup rifle really made me question the Leupold line. So I sent the one in to get repaired, and sold them both once it came back.
