[QUOTE="Send it 284, post: 2086891, member: 115872"] So I finally got my 16" 6.5 saum together, its built on a Tikka action and throated for the 127 LRX/142 ABLRS. I shot a few loads with the lrx and H1000 and its shooting 1"groups at 200 yards with a mv of 3025 I have some 142s and worked up to pressure with RL26 hitting 3075! I had heavy bolt lift, and worked back down to 3015 with very slight pressure signs After loading the cases 4 times at these max loads I backed off to 2960 and shot this 1/2" group at 200. The Norma brass is still solid with tight primer pockets after 5 loads so far. I'm blown away, this is way faster than I'd expected to get with a 16" barrel . This is mainly a timber rifle that will be used for deer and elk out to 500 so I'm not really chasing max velocity. Dang though, this thing only weighs 7.9lbs scoped and suppressed and is fast enough to be a serious LR killer. Super glad I passed on the 6.5 PRC [ATTACH type="full"]243466[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]243467[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
