Hey guys,
I was out on one of my scrounging trips this week and was in an old gun store, they had a lot of boxes of old Speer and Sierra bullets that were marked .263 diameter. Well since I have a couple of different 6.5mm guns and they were dirt cheap I bought a bunch of them, the Speer are 120gr and 140gr and the Sierra are 87gr. What do you guys think of using these for fire forming? That is what I was thinking when I got them, I can use them in the Grendel and my 6.5x284, and if I ever find another barrel for mo contender I will start shooting the 6.5 T/CU again.
So, any thoughts about using these? they measure .2629 to .2635 for the boxes I have opened and checked.
