Has anyone tried either of these powders in their 6.5mm Sherman Long (the one formed from .270 Win. brass)?

140 grain SP or BTSP types.Bullet?
It's not a typical bullet/powder combination that 6.5 Sherman owners load, but here's a baseline that might help you: https://shermanwildcatcartridges.com/sherman-load-data. You might also use loads for 6.5-06 (https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/?t=1). LRT and US869 might be too slow, but it does not mean it will not work. Good luck!140 grain SP or BTSP types.
Would you know if Ramshot LRT is as slow burning as US 869?what you posted will work. You will find though that you will likely run out of room before you get where it works best. A heavier bullet will work more efficiently for you with that powder
US869 is much slower.Would you know if Ramshot LRT is as slow burning as US 869?
