Saw these sitting on the shelf a my LGS. Anyone loaded these in a 6.5 cm gasser?

Horn app says 2.775", which I think will fit my plays. Was thinking of trying some Staball 6.5(from Hodgedon website) TAC, or maybe Varget.

Anyone done any load workups yet?

45gr of H4350, seated at 2.800 (next time I am going to set at 2.740 to try and squeeze more accuracy out of it) starline SRP brass and CCI450, out of my 18 inch criterion barrel it was printing .60-.70 5 shot groups. 2920 fps with a SD of 8. I shot 25 shots total. My bolt gun liked the 46.5 load the best but it was almost crunching powder in the neck and I was getting 3230 FPS with that load out of my Delta 5 pro. I will eventually take them out to distance but the longest shot I can get here is 1300 yards.
