2 lbs I believe we're Graf and sons and the other 8 from powder valley. They had A LOT when I seen it was in stock. By the time I placed my order they barely had the 8 left. It went FAST.

Whidden made the dies that accuracy addiction used to have on hand. They should have all the data they need.I HAVE MY ACTION! I've contacted Whidden about dies so I'm calling on the short action 6.5 addiction guys to help me. Whidden wants 3 pieces of fired Brass to make dies from. Not sure why they need the fired brass but if anyone in CONUS has a few pieces they could spare I would greatly appreciate it. I would gladly return it after Whidden returns them to me. It would be great if someone who had PVA barrel their rifle had a few pieces as I will likely use PVA for my barrel. I have all of the other pieces of the puzzle. I just need dies and a barrel.
And for those wondering. I put my Zermatt/Bighorn TL3 short action in the Manners stock with bedded mini-chassis, loaded a magazine with 5 pieces of 6.5x55 brass and it cycled flawlessly.
Also, I tried the brass in my GunWerks GRB short action 260 rem. I couldn't chamber it of course but the bolt had not issue picking up the brass and pulling it out. It is a snug fit but it works great.
I said the same thing. Their response was as followsWhidden made the dies that accuracy addiction used to have on hand. They should have all the data they need.
Shiesters!I said the same thing. Their response was as follows
" Thank you for your email and interest. We have made 6.5 addiction dies in the past but we still need you to provide three pieces of fired brass or a copy of your chamber reamer print with brass being preferred. More information about custom dies and an order link can be found on our website."
I sent the chamber reamer print as published online and was told they'd really prefer 3 pieces of brass even with the print. I would prefer to have fired brass too just so there is no issues when I get the dies, they're not exactly cheap, Lol. If push comes to shove I suppose I could always just have a barrel chambered and jam some 6.5x55 lapua ammo and fire form?
That seems a little slow. I’d think you’d be 50-100fps faster with that kind of load in a 24”.With a tikka long action, 140 hybrids, 24inch barrel I am running about 2880 with 50.5 grains of H4831sc. This is a very accurate load in my rifle, but was hoping for a little more speed. once it warms up I’m planning on seeing where I find pressure.
That’s what I thought. Hoping the barrel speeds up.That seems a little slow. I’d think you’d be 50-100fps faster with that kind of load in a 24”.
It does seem like the XM action length the answer to many problems.Don't see why not. I'm just having a barrel chambered for the 6.5A on a Defiance XM length action. I think that's going to be the ticket for the heavier than 140gr bullets!
