[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1771186, member: 38494"] I have a 6.5 Swede and use Lapua brass, ccibr2 primers, and 136 Lapua scenar bullet. It shot well with 47 grains of rl22. Wanted to work Rl23 for temp stability. Started at 45 grains and went to 47. Great node at 45.5 grains. Rifle rem 700 LA with PTG one piece stainless bolt blue printed. Douglas target barrel 27 inches long heavy varmint contour 1:8 twist. Housed in Bobby Hart lrt stock with aluminum block. Stockeys heavy duty Obendorph trigger guard. This obviously is for modern rifles only and is not for RWS brass. Should mention running 0.002 neck tension. One last comment. I seat the bullet out with an overall COAL of 3.008 inches. I am 0.002 off the lands. I have seen no pressure signs such as hard bolt opening, extractor marks on brass or flattened primers. Velocity for RL22 was 2883 fps. Have not checked RL 23 because still testing. Keep that in mind. Seating out helos in lowering pressures. [/QUOTE]
