[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2907282, member: 116181"] Did you confirm twist? The 156 calls for an 8 twist on paper, and based on running them from 7s and 8s I think you're marginal with a 9. Unless you're up high, like north of 7500' elevation. FWIW I was ~41gn of H4350 in a 6.5CM with 153.5s. Not exactly the same but kissing cousin close to a standard 260 with 156s. Right around 2600 FPS from a 26" barrel, you should be able to beat that by 75 fps. Plus I was mag seating deep in the case, if you can stretch the COL longer than I could there's another 25FPS to be had. [/QUOTE]
