The guy is a tool and rage baits for clicks. Watch a video where he actually shoots instead of rage baits. You will see so much done wrong by either him or his friends. His followers eat his drivel with a serving spoon and ask for more. The lack of experience while repeating "fuddlore" is active in the comments. He just can't let the Rokslide 223 77tmk thing go. I think he uses it to get more engagement.

Grand appears to be another Staball variant. Should be really good! I've had a lot of luck with 6.5 in the 6.5. Actually it was the only powder the oem Sig Cross liked.

Have you worked up a load with Grand yet?

I loaded up 30 a half grain under max to try.

I think I'm going to neck down my 6.5 alpha brass with two firings then load some lighter loads with something. Probably should run 100 through the pipe before I start load dev.

Will the small 22 cal bullets even hold together in a 1-7 twist at these speeds? 4300 is bookin!

Some bullets probably will in a fresh barrel. I just stick with the 62eld vts for a fast twist creed set up for the heavy’s. In most cases by 300 yards their dropping less then the very light bullets anyway.

Against better judgment I went ahead and rammed a piece of 6.5 into the Hornady 22 die Whoops

I've got an Eric Cortina expander mandrel die for creed/308 I believe. If I remove the expander ball from the Hornady die run the brass through there then through a mandrel die at .222 would that work?

Just trying to find the cheapest way to size down my old 6.5 without having to buy a bushing die.

I just run 1x fired Hornady 6.5 creed brass through a Forster fl die in one pass.

You might try de burring the outside of the case mouth and see if that makes a difference.

Bet that $45 ready to shoot ammo looks pretty good right now... Just ordered a case of the 80 ELDM @ $31.75/each plus $15.99 shipping.

I have too many guns to mess with non correct headstamped cases. Even my 6×45 cases get tossed after I use them. I write the proper case on factory loaded ammo on the side in marker and toss it after firing it. Not worth having a mix up since no one current offers headstamped 6x45 cases.
