    This load was done by @Ryan_Songhurst and worked up to what seemed to be optimal accuracy. No pressure signs in my rifle and laser accurate.
    You should always start low and work up. Not trying to tell anyone how to suck eggs I'm new to reloading too.

    I found that to be the case in two 6.5s, the old 1915 Carl Gustaf was sweet,(long-throat), and my 1944 Husky m96 (which chambered them fine), kicked-like-a-mule, and I broke the extractor when I finally got the bolt to lift. I'd assumed they'd both have similar throats, given that they're famous for long-throats..but not so, this time. I was lucky
