[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 782348, member: 10723"] What bullet weight did you use? Did you chronograph the load? If so what velocities were you getting. I think you still may be too hot. I did a little comparison between powder data for the 6.5-06 with a 130 grain bullet and the 270 Winchester with the same weight bullet. These case are near the same. The case you are using and the 270WSM case are also near the same. Here is what I found. With the 6.5-06 the Start load of H1000 is 47.7 grains and the Max load is 53.0 grains. With a 270 Win the Start load of H1000 is 61.0 grains and the Max is 64.0 grains. As you can see even when you drop 5 grains from the starting load of the 270 Winchester you are still above the max load in the 6.5-06. I know that all is not the same with this comparison but it does make you think that you could be too hot. [/QUOTE]
