[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2691935, member: 9772"] I hear what you are saying. However in the video you say the guy running the 260 is 20k over pressure? Hornady lists 3150 with a 26” barrel and R 26 with their 143 eldx in 6.5 prc. How much faster should a prc be than a creed? 200 fps,400 fps? Quickload predicts 3000 fps in a 26” with a 140 eldm at 63091k. Now that is hot and pushing it. But 2900 is certainly doable while still being under saami max pressure dont you think. The general belief is that the burn rate and pressure curve of R 26 allows it to produce more velocity at a lower peak pressure. This is not an unknown or uncommon occurence with powders. I do believe that the creed from my experience performs better in the 2750 ish range for pure accuracy. But for a hunter looking to maximize performance on game if you can squeeze another 150 fps out of the round it may be worth it if it can be done safely.That would put the prc at 250 fps faster according to Hornadys data online. I think that is reasonable. [/QUOTE]
