[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2983493, member: 115658"] Actually, velocities are 100 fps higher like 2875-2925 reported (error). A look at the Hodgdon reload site shows 6.5-06 pressures running 62-63 K psi for most 140 loads & for 6.5 PRC just about 2900 fps @ 60K PSI with Staball HD. Brass is pricy & I prefer to keep loads at 60K psi to extend brass life, reduce bolt thrust & make for easy, certain feeding. A 3% velocity increase isn't worth it. Edit/add: Load for accuracerity, especially when shooting more than 20 on blazing hot rodent infestations. Pressures about/under 60K PSI. Max loads reduce hit %'s. [/QUOTE]
