Some darn nice shootin' Jake, factory or some of your's?
I picked up an Axis back in Jan. played with it a min.
I've got all the components, waiting on the farmer to cut some hay.
(clear may shootin area) :lol:

Federal ammo 130 gr. I purchased from the LGS. I ordered the dies and now can reload the cases. It's weird that some 6.5 CM cases take large rifle primers and others small rifle primers. I did not realize that at the beginning. I guess it's sort of like 45 ACP where some cases use small pistol and others large pistol.

I tried some federal 140's but they didn't group that well. And I believe the spp is just federal.
The best factory ammo I tried was the 147gr Hornady.
I'm wanting to get back after it, but need to wait for Joe to cut his hay.

The only bullets I could find were Hornady 123 gr. so I guess that's what I'll have to reload with. There were only two boxes of them at the LGS so I got 'em both.
