Anyone try using H4831SC for the 6.5 saum w/ carbon barrel?? I'm getting 3000 fps w/ R26 out of 26" barrel.
I'd like to push out to 3100 plus if I can

140gr elite hunter Berger
The standard load is 61gr h1000 at 3100fps.
You can kind of extrapolate from there.
RL26 should get you to 3100 pretty easy
4831sc will be about 3000fps

I wish I could find either of the 2 powders. How is the V 565 powders?!
What brand is the barrel and twist? I've only shot h1000 and rl23 in my two saums. H1000 with the 26" barrel and 140 Berger's I'm getting 3200fps

Maybe I can find v565 easier maybe. GB dicks are selling at almost $250-500 lb totally sickening.

Don't get your heart set on this load unless you have an 8# only to be used on this rifle. It has been discontinued.
A 26" 6.5SAUM/GAP 4S w. 140s should easily be 3100-3200fps.
H4831SC would be on thee lower end of that range.

Keep an eye out for Reloader 23 or H1000 too.

I use N570 in mine. It carbon fouls pretty bad but shoots great.
I have no experience but have heard that the proof barrels can be slow. Might explain your situation.
