I bought a used ARP Six5 barrel. It is a wildcat based on the 6.8SPC case necked down to 6.5.
I had to grind down the top of a shellholder as shown in the photo to get the headspace correct with a Wilson full length bushing sizing die (.285 bushing).
I only loaded 10 rounds and shot all 10 at the center of the target below. After scope adjust on first shot the next nine made a nice cluster.
It looks like the 6.5 bullets show accuracy potential as all 6.5s seem to do.
