    WallyR liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5x55ai light loads
    Greetings 6.5, At least you have the calibre sorted. The 6.5 .284 should tick all your boxes, good cases, plenty of load data etc but it may not be what you are looking for. I sense that you may be...

    Greetings Bumblefoot, I think we must be cousins. I also started to handload for the .303 recently after swearing of it in the late seventies. Initially a .308 neck sizing die was used followed with...
