    Oh you will know if the load is too hot when, your bolt jams shut after firing, you get the primer extruding into firing pin hole, primer falls out when you open bolt if it has not jammed shut precursor to this one is a bright orange flash and oily smelling smoke right in front of your face and smoke coming out everywhere it should not, Ejector marks on rim of case. No need to load hot anyway you want to load for accuracy over velocity as it will still kill what you put the crosshairs on.

    Once you have read your manuals a few times let me know and I will give you some 6.5x55 data to work with that I developed and chronied for a carl gustaf I had and they were deadly accurate loads but only after you have read some manuals first and you must promise to work up to the loads if I give you that data. The barrel twist rate of your carl gustaf is 1:8.5.

    Ah ok generally when someone says making some brass it means they are going to make brass from a case of a different caliber, all you are doing there is "fire forming" to your chamber dimensions. You will pick up on the terminology very soon.

    Yea well go around to someone's house and watch them do it, reading a book is the same as reading the forum. The book will give you step by step instructons, where as the forum wont really. Guess your fucked then ha
    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Thats exactly why i went round to Gavins when he lived in Gore, to watch him reload.
    In the same way that not everyone learns from books not everyone is willing to help others out to i spose. Just as well this forums full of good buggers!

    Join up with your local NZDA you are bound to find a someone there who reloads that can give you some good practical reloading lessons. Don't always trust reloading videos on you tube as some can mislead you quite a bit especially if you get a video from some cowboy reloader.
