[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2642147, member: 36999"] Came up with a load for my 18” Carbon six barrel, 54.5gr H4350 behind a 130gr Berger OTM gives me 2980 fps. It was a warm load but rounded primers and no bolt lift or extractor marks. I took that same load and put it in another 18” carbon six barrel, the only difference being the twist rate and got heavy bolt lift, major ejector mark and 3150 fps. This other Carbon six barrel has been nothing but trouble as it doesn’t shoot that well and it has to be downloaded significantly compared to every other 6.5 PRC I own. This is an issue since my Dad, Brother and I all shoot 6.5 PRC and I don’t want to load ammo that will almost lock up my Dad’s rifle in the event he grabs one of my mags even though the ammo is perfectly fine in mine and my brother’s rifles.
