Thank you, gentlemen, for the additional information. This rifle was made by Heym in the 1930's and originally a 7x57R and in the late 30's was rechambered and reproofed as a 7x65R. It is highly engraved like the one pictured in the Heym ad of the times.The 7x65R shot very well but is a little heavy for pleasure target shooting at the range. It has just been fitted with a barrel identical to the original but in 6.5x57R with its original fore end and Zeiss scope. While I am well supplied with jacketed bullets of various weights, I love to cast and have several appropriate molds to choose from I was wondering if I should start at the light end or the heavy end and I believe y'all have answered that. I have another Heeren by Nagel & Menz that is a beautiful little full stocked rifle in 6.5x58R Sauer.
