Since I’m a reloader, and have been for a quite awhile, I’ve been necking down .308 brass to 6.5mm long before the 260 Remington even became commercially available to the public. So obviously, my preference it to what I’m been familiar with all these years. Plus, .308 brass is readily available for conversion. My main rifle for this is based on an old Remington 700 short action utilizing a custom Lilja barrel. I’ve always loved this setup because the loads I create produce a decent velocity and accuracy without burning out the barrel. The 6.5mm 123gr Lapua Scenar is usually my “go to” bullet for this round.
Wow, thats very cool! , never had a chance to get into reloading. Always had ammo to shoot, but my buddy was always the guy picking up my brass after me. Yeh, I think he spent more time reloading than shooting and loved to experiment with different loads. I think he fiddle with the .308 brass as you have done.
Cheers!
