Has anyone tried either of these powders in their 6.5mm Sherman Long (the one formed from .270 Win. brass)?
Ramshot LRT and/or US 869 in a 6.5 Sherman Long?

I use RL23 in my Dad's 270 Sherman. Running 148gr Hammers at 3000'.
Bullet?

140 grain SP or BTSP types.
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!
