[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2804145, member: 807"] I don't have my current load data where I can get to it right now, but one thing to consider is brass. The case diameter at the web is slightly larger than the 30-06 size US cases. Folks have made brass from US brass and used it for years, but there are some warnings out there about the danger of doing so. Some of the brass will not hold the pressure with the smaller diameter cases used in forming the 6.5 brass. I junked the brass I had converted after reading the problems with it, I don't load to max and may have gotten away with it for a long time, but it only takes once to be a major issue. If you shop around, you can find reloadable 6.5 ammo at reasonable prices and save the brass from that. Here is a link to some good info on that cartridge from Chuck Hawks.
