Re: 7.65 parabellum
I agree with Kyrie, the winchester loading is too hot. The Sako/Lapua sounds like the best bet. I have had good luck with the Hornady .308 diameter bullet though I seem to remember most of the diameters I have sluged were miking .310". The one thing that is important for reloads to know is that both sets of reloading dies I bought, one the RCBS die and a LEE set did NOT have the correct diameter expander plug for the .308" bullets which resulted in them being pushed back into the cartridge case during the loading sequence. I contacted both manufacturers and RCBS basically ignored me but the LEE company sent me a correct diameter expanding plug for FREE! Now I reload with no problems. I have an box of FIOCCHI that I use for shooting the first trials to test the action as it is underpowered and I dont want to hammer the action. Then I can adjust my handloads to work for that particular gun. What a neat fun caliber and accurate! Thor
