What's your barrel length and load data? (Powder etc) Looking at building ultra light 6.5 prc 20" want to sling the 147 eldm at or around 2900 fps plus.

not exactly what you were looking for being after a custom load, but maybe a comparable baseline from factory loads (although in a brand new barrel; I assume after break in things might change a bit?)

I got a slow one (don't care it's accurate). 22" proof, Zermatt action, adg brass, 55 grains H1k, 210M primer, 143 eld-x, 2810fps. Retumbo wasn't much better. Originally wanted to shoot 147's in this barrel. They were stupid slow, like sub creedmoor speeds.
