Help with 6.5-06 IMP and Hornady 143-ELDX

[TBuckus]

Not improved case but I had better success switching from H4350 to R26 in my 6.5-06.

Like others said, use published data and go from there.

Had great success with Berger 140's and RL-23

I would just add that to run everything over a chronograph. Keep in mind there is zero, none, nada free lunch when it come to pressure's and speeds.

I've a ton load of experience with the 6.5/06 (PM me if you wish).

Once you've hit 100 fps over what a standard 6.5/06 load will run you're pretty much there. Nosler has some good data.

Remember---pressure equals speed and speed equals pressure!

I just finished up another 6.5x06AI for a friend of my nephew's wife.
Here is what it shoots at 700.
Scoped up 8.25 lb.all carbon shot with bipod.

You mean in terms of accuracy or speed?

RL17 (47.5)OR RL19 (52.3) is what I use. Same bullet @ 2850
