6.5-06 Ackley load info needed...

[summitsitter]

I'm building a 6.5-06 AI that will be done soon. I'm trying to go ahead and get most of the reloading components so I'll be ready to fireform and load brass when it gets here.
I am planning on using 25-06 brass.
What should I use to fireform brass with (powder and primer)
I am getting the barrel set up to shoot 140gr. A-Maxes. Please give me some load on them if you got it. thanks Trent

6.5X284 data is a good place to start 47/48 grains of H4350, 50 grains of H4831. You want a light "crush" fit keep plenty of lube on your lugs. Copper based anti sieze if its a Bat action.......... Also if you don't get a perfectly blown out case every time no sweat the second firing will get it done. Most of my AI have really shot well during fire-forming.
Good Luck & Good Shooting
