[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1206859, member: 13833"] Hi guys. There are getting to be more of you each week so I thought it would be good to update some data. Whether you shoot a 6.5, 7, or ??, would you please post your best loads and top velocity (Max) loads as well. Pics are always nice. I tried some HBN for the first time in my 6.5 and found that velocity dropped about 50'/sec. This was no surprise because the bore is slicker! I was shooting the 150 Matrix with 61.5 grains H1000 @3104' and 2.950 coal. I shot this group today at 1100 yards. I plan to shoot the 143 ELDX at distance soon, with some HBN as well. I have shot some .o's and point 1's at 100 yards with them, before HBN, with 61.5 grains H1000 at 3155' They also shot very well with 62.4 grains at 3207. RL26 works very well and will reach 3300' with the 143's, but shoots very well with 60 grains at 3200 and change......Rich [ATTACH]61938.vB[/ATTACH] I would also encourage you to visit (Vestals Gunsmithing) on Facebook and comment on his Sherman Shortmag post.
