Not much out there. Have you looked on Ackley sites?

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Bob, none of my at hand sources has anything. I took a stab online, but didn't find anything trustworthy or that wasn't horribly obvious. Keep us posted !

Thanks guys, the problem I'm having is the 40 degree shoulder, most of the 6.5s seem to have a 17+/- shoulder. Also this is my first go at "large" case fire forming, the K Hornet is load a Hornet shoot it and there you have it. I'm looking for as much information as can before I pull the trigger on the first round.

If you remember I went through this with a .22-243.
I started worrying about what I really had as the ammo that came with it (.22-243 Winchester), loaded but I just felt something was off.
So I ordered a little chamber test kit, plugged the bore, melted the chamber cast material, and poured a chamber cast. Boy was I glad I did, because though it was .22-243 alright, it was not the Winchester .243 shoulders. The chamber was at much sharper angle.....turns out it was .22-243 Middlestead. I had to send back my dies and reorder the Middlestead version.....thankfully the good people at Grafs didn't bat an eye at exchanging.
I remind you of my experience only to encourage you to make sure the chamber is what you think it is.....just being able to chamber one of the rounds you were given isn't a sure thing as I found out.

I don't have the rifle yet but do have the dies and several formed cases two of which were sent to RCBS for die making and the chain of custody is good. However give your comment I will double check the water before I jump in!

I seem to have found load information all I had to do was distill what I had, now just the fire forming.

Just over a year ago I was looking for lading information for the "6.5-270 Ackley Improved", well today thumbing through my Ackley book I stumbled on a Waren Page discussion on bore capacity and there low an' behold was load data for the 6.5-270 Improved Stegall which is exactly what I have. There is not a bunch of information but it does give me 4831 loads for 140 grain bullets. This is just more of a bench mark as the rifle used was a Stegall 22" barreled rifle just like mine.

Bob as I stated before the Ackley book is quite the reference source. It should expand your horizon greatly.

That's getting as close to the original source as you can !
