Great thanks everyone hopefully load some up over the weekend. Thought these looked like a good pig pill in the 6.5 swede so will have to wait and see

Hi Everyone

I have some 140gr Hornady SST's for my 6.5 and wondering if anybody else has hand loaded these? They have like a cannular ring it seems on them do I need to or have to crimp these when loading?

Cheers

I'm Pretty sure the new stuff is made by bertram but the heads are not stamped and they come in the same box as the old super's but the writing on the box is in Read for the new ones and black for the old stuff I have both around.

These a sweet little machine

I would like to try some 35gr vmax's in my 222rimmed if anyone has any for swap. Ooo forgot also like to try 6.5 140gr hornady sst's I have for swap .224 50gr VMax 50gr Remington PLHP 6.5mm 140gr sierra gamekings -think these are seconds 140gr Nosler Partitions And I think other bits and bobs in 6.5...

Due to my slow twist on the martini 222rimmed all of the plastic pointed bullets are no good as they are too long so I have been trying 50gr Reming Power-lokt Hollow points and without a heap of load workup are shooting straight and found out this weekend they hit hard and were making a good mess on...

Got to check the older cases that came with my sweet 222rimmed and ther aren't Bertram but super. I did notice too my new cases don't even have a stamp on the heads where as the old ones at least say super 222. Is Bertram the old or the new I forget, researched this ages ago.

I bought some new super cases when I first got the rifle but it did come with some rounds so will see if they are bertram brass will check them out some time in the future.

Its good to find some more people experienced with the 222rimmed, I have a martini converted to 222rimmed and is starting to get decent performance from it. I found due to the slow twist rate 1" in 16" I am a little limited in projectiles so she only likes the short stuff. I tried the 50gr...
