[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2586352, member: 25377"] Be careful with berger data. They don't live fire it, according to their tech I was in communication with... its quickload. Their 156 and 153.5 data set was wildly out of whack before I called them. Lots of guys were running WAY hot based on their recommendations. I'm sad to see they STILL have not fixed it. You follow those numbers and you're liable to damage your rifle. I've given them MONTHS to correct this, and they still want to roll with that insane data set apparently. Their 140's and all the rest of their bullets seem to be fine. The data they show for the heavies won't even work in a mid length setup with hornady brass. It would STILL be hot. Here's my data on those bullets. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/D68LQOQ.jpg[/IMG] You can FORGET about getting 60 grains of H1000 in an ADG or Lapua case with a 150 class bullet. 58gr is basically all the way up the neck, and was WAY hot and super compressed. As you can see, 56grs is where it started to become a compressed load with H1000. Further to add, anyone running a 156 or 153.5 at 3000fps in a standard 6.5PRC is so unbelievably hot its not even funny. (unless they are running a 32" barrel) I've done work ups in quite a few 6.5PRC's and none have ever been able to do it if you want more than 3 firings out of the brass. Keep in mind here, even a 26 nosler can only move them out at 3100'ish or a little more without demolishing the brass! ----------- [URL='https://www.instagram.com/primalrights']Follow on Instagram[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/user/primalrights']Subscribe on YouTube[/URL] [URL='https://amzn.to/3txlBnp']Amazon Affiliate[/URL] [URL='http://www.primalrights.com'][IMG]http://primalrights.com/images/signatures/sig1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
