[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 642410, member: 9551"] My under construction 6.5 WSM will have a 28" Krieger barrel. The barrel is in for a muzzle brake and then "nitrocarburizing" before reassembly. I will be interested in the Berger VLDs because it has an 8 twist. My experience with the .264 Wichester Magnum, 300 Weatherby and 7mm Remington Magnum was I was so excited when H-1000 came out, Bruce designed it for the 160 gr bullets in 7mm Rem Mag. I bought 8 lbs of H-1000. I gave most of it away. The velocity exceeded what I could get with heavy for caliber bullets ( R-25 and Retumbo were not available yet) but the accuracy was not what R-22 would deliver at slightly less velocity. I would expect great accuracy from Retumbo. What I want to try is VV N-570. I have never tried this powder. Has anyone got any VV N-570 experience. Quickload usually shows it at the top of the list for velocity. The load data from Vihtavuori is not as encouraging. I will not be able to report until I get the barrel work completed. Again I am seeking [B]velocity[/B] for long range hunting.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
