6.5 Sherman

[Captain1967]

I think I'll stick with this load. Time to get away from the bench and stretch its legs a little

Is That 3198 FPS with 156 and a 250 cci primer 2.85 to ogive. About how far off the lans? Awesome, should be a slayer and a sweet looking rifle.

I just fell off the fence. I'm going to pull the trigger on a 6.5 Sherman.

H1000 goes 3100fps

Thanks. It's hard to find rl 26 around here.

Don't forget about N570. Performed great for me with a140 Berger.

If I could find a pound around here to try but it's so rare around here. Grafs has 8lb jugs of it but they are pretty proud of it

Done with load development so I decided to start stretching its legs. Went 675 yards. Need to do a little adjusting but other than that it's coming around. Need to finish fireforming some more brass now

Which bullet are you using?

berger 140 gr. vld

 

[David Malcom]

The nosler 140 RDF shoots well also.

Very nice results. I've got a box of the 156 waiting to be loaded up! Still going to finish trying out the 147 ELDM but nice to see some good options out there.

Think I'll be sticking with the 156 grain Berger. 140 Berger's go 3300 but I think they may be a little explosive at that velocity.

 

[David Malcom]

I believe you are correct., however the 140 bergers and the nosler rdf seem to shoot better (for me) just below 3250.
