[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 640091, member: 42308"] I'd back off to the "starting load" for a standard 6.5/06 if you go with a magnum primer. Especially using the wonderful Lapua brass. As earlier noted it does tend to have less internal capacity. I tried W867 Surplus Powder (similar to AA8700) and needed the magnum primer to get that sawdust smoking. That stuff is wonderful in my 30/338 win mag with the 230 berger but i digress thats another thread. I had to reduce the powder charge by 2 full grains to get to a load that didn't have pressure issues when going from a federal 210 large rifle primer to the federal 215 magnum rifle primer. Velocity wasn't awesome or even anything to write home about with the 140 Berger vld or the 139 Lapua moly scenar but the ES was 15. As usual ymmv. [/QUOTE]
