[QUOTE="mmacfive, post: 2015262, member: 93205"] I tried Sabal 6.5 in the 6.5 PRC now. Not really knowing where to start I started with 47-1/2 grs and a 130 gr Accubond. velocity was about 2750 fps I’ve worked up to 53-1/2 gr, 3100 fps and single digit sd’s. 53-1/2 gr is slightly compressed with the 130 AB. It is shooting sub 3/4 moa and I’m the limiting factor. 57gr and a 145 LRX in a 280 is giving about 3150fps and sd’s less then 4. I wanted to use it to replace HSP behind a 129 LRX in a light weight 270. Although I’m getting similar velocities and sd’s it just doesn’t group as well. This gun routinely groups 1/2” to 5/8” with me shooting it. Although it isn’t temp sensitive I’m sticking with HSP. So far I’ve had very good success in the -06 family of case capacity with Stabal 6.5. [/QUOTE]
