    I would suggest that if intending to load the 162gr for 60kPSI peak or over - as seems to be the practice in the endless quest to equal 7mmRM performance - then 2213sc may be the limit for burn rate...

    When I was looking to buy my first centrefire, and knowing nothing about hunting, I figured it was best to use the “Wisdom of Crowds” to decide what I should purchase. To this end I spent months...

    I haven't read the article but I can see the Creedmoor rating well if recoil was a heavily weighted consideration. I view the smaller 6.5s as sitting at a sweet spot for effectiveness on medium...

    Aqueous ammonia, 29%, worked through with barrel solvents using a nylon brush so I guess it forms an emulsion. I don't leave the mix in the barrel for very long, but then have never needed to as it...

    Hi Quentin, I ran your previous load through QuickLOAD while using the QuickLOAD 6.5x55 specs, so that is the 140AMAX with 44.7gr of 2209 from a 22.5" barrel, and the predicted velocity is very close...
