Neat!
There is an awful lot of conflicting information out on the 'net. I have been meaning to pick up the Wales book as it is said to make sense of it all but haven't got there yet.
I have the Meeker in .256 and a '98 Mauser in .35 Newton and have been eyeballing a .30 Newton lately just to make a "set".
Do you have any load data for the .256 You'd care to share? Either here or to hoot_4570 -AT- yahoo -DOT- com. I haven't shot it yet but do have the Speer manual No. 1 which has data along with several recommendations to treat it as a 6.5-06 which seems like a sensible approach.
Cheers!
