[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 1624721, member: 32631"] I shot My TC Encore today with the MGM 6.5 PRC barrel . Its a 27 in. stainless 1 in. full bull with an integral muzzle brake. tried some loads. One load shocked me. I had a Magnetospeed attached. I had a 131 gr. Hammer Hunter with Federal mag match primer. 58 grs. H1000. Didn't get to try same load with CCI BR2 primer yet. But what was unreal my 4 shot velocity was 3007, 3006,3005 and 3008. Ave. 3006.5 fps. Is that possible ? That load was not near maximum . No pressure signs at all. It was only around an inch group though. With factory Hornady match 147 ELD I had an ave. velocity of 2912 fps. High was 2924 and low was 2900. 59.0 grs. Retumbo with 143 eld x and CCI BR2 was 2912, 2933,2915 and 2922 for ave. velocity of 2920 fps. I didn't get to shoot the TC Encore 28.0 Hunter barrel in 6.5 Creed today. I did try a couple loads in the Tikka 6.5 Creed though. a 127 gr. Barnes LRX w/45.0 grs. Superformance. fps was 2912, 2910, 2918 and 2912 for 2913 ave. fps. accuracy was not good. no pressure signs. I finally got to shoot a Savage 111 in 300 Win. Mag. that I won in a raffle along with a TC Compass in 6.5 Creed and a Savage 22 auto rifle and a S&W SD9 VE auto pistol. LOL ! Gotta play to win .
