Turns out to all be very interesting. So made a call to run with the 6.5 06 and some new dies arrived a couple of days ago. I was surprised how little gets trimmed off the .270 cases to form 6.5...

A useful trick with the backcountry meals is to wrap them in a jacket or sleeping bag to keep them warm while they rest, and rest them for about twice as long as it says on the packet. They may be...

If the weather gets rough you will want to tie the sides down to ground level to keep dry. This reduces useable space considerabely, so the bigger size is a better choice in that situation.
