Finished up loading rounds for the Dutch Mannlicher 6.5x53R (same loading data as used by 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer),
using a March-April 1991 article in Handloader magazine, by Ken Waters - if ya can't trust Ken Waters, who can you trust?
Cast bullet: Lyman 266469 143 gr, recently obtained from The Bull Shop, 1500+ fps.
Soft point: Hornady 160 gr RN, pretty much a standard for these old 6.5's, though Hornady has held off making them for 5 years now.
Solid: 155 gr Copper Solid FP, CNC turned from Cutting Edge Bullets.
Have an adequate supply of loaded ammo, now need to wait on the weather for some shooting. There's still plenty of snow atop of the
Continental Divide, where I generally shoot most of the time. It'll be a few weeks before have a field report.
