The 6.5 AP Projectiles I have came from 6.5x55 ammo, and they weighed considerably more than 113 grains before I machined them down. I couldn't get decent velocities with them, only about 2300 FPS, and they wouldn't penetrate 1/2" steel. I've machined them down to 108 grains by trimming the tails, so we'll see what happens.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
