I just got back from the range today because my 6.5 wasn't feeding correctly. From what I've read here I will have to try.
Basically it seems that the trouble is more with my reloads. When I fire the first round the case doesn't eject, but gets hit or shoved back in by the next round coming up from the magazine. I've been using Hornady 123 Amax new ammo. Tried the Wolf 120's as well. I've been reloading with Horandy Amax and IMR8208 powder. 28.0-28.8 grains. Friend said maybe I need more powder. To check my scale. Even cut down the recoil spring in the carbines stock. I've tried everything to get it to work correctly. Sounds like I'll see about the shell holder. Oh yea I use Hornady dies.
Thanks for the info if anyone can give me other tips I'd appreciate it.
