I've got a good node with mine at 59 grain N570 26" barrel at 3258FPS. There was a high node at 60.2 with 3298FPS but for me that was getting up there. Still doing a bit of seating depth for fine tune the 59 grain. This is 2x fired ADG brass. 2.360BTO.
I was just going off of what was posted in #2. I did a ql test to see how Berger arrived at data. I changed case volume to meet 104% case fill with n570, 140 elite hunter, 26" barrel and coal of 2.955"
Noticed some significant changes from the original info I got from Berger (post #2)!!!
Saw that also
Gotta give it to @Longtine88
The 58.3 N560 load in Lapua brass with Fed 210M primer and 140 elite hunter worked great in a brand new 20" bartlein 7/5 twist barrel. After 20 rounds I'm at 2,950 fps and well under 1" accuracy. This rifle is going to Wyoming for mule deer and antelope in October!

Could I please ask where you found this load chart? Thanks
From the looks of it, it came from Berger. They sent me a load data that looks exactly like that 1.

Thanks appreciate it. My dream lazy 6.5 PRC would be able to push a 140 at 3050+ with a ball powder. Kinda looks like Magpro might have a shot at that!
