[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2205957, member: 83259"] Her’s is the sammi .188 freebore. I still haven’t seen one that can come close to handling those kinda charges without absolutely trashing brass. The max Berger gives for the 6.5 Saum is 56.6 of rl26 with the 156 giving 2883 FPS from a 24” tube and that’s pretty accurate from my experience with two different SAUM’s. IME with the saum vs prc you can expect about 50 FPS more out of the saum. I can see your load being fine with a 131 Hammer. 56-56.5 is about where I would expect to end up. I ran some 125 bulldozers thru my wife’s gun and that’s about exactly where I maxed out. But 56.5 behind a 130 isn’t 57.8 under a 156. The 300 prc data is even worse, most guys are ending up about a grain under bergers minimum! In my buddies 300 prc you couldn’t have gotten the case out of the gun if you would have started with their minimums. [/QUOTE]
