[QUOTE="H59, post: 1718293, member: 105268"] All excellent powders,I know the re 26 is popular with people, but personally it's not my favourite b/c it leaves lots of empty space in the loaded brass & it is easy to get pressure too high trying to push the heavier bullets in the mid 3,000's... I have really had excellent performance with imr 7828...not the 7828ssc although it's fine to use& I tried it, but the regular 7828 gives as good of velocity as you can get out of the cartridge and with single digit s.d.'s... also the mrp is a good option for the 130gr - 140gr ,but it also doesn't fill the case up nearly as much as I'd like to have. The powder that will give you the highest velocity with the heaviest bullets in the 150gr range w/o a doubt is V560,but velocity isn't the only ingredient for a great shooting load ,I just figured that you might want to know what powder would give the highest velocity of all the ones that I have used. Did you get the whidden dies? Or is he offering the forester dies with the 6.5sst yet? [/QUOTE]
