[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1695605, member: 61747"] I am not running them close to the lands. I am running mag length for a AICS short action. I run all my ELD 6.5 140, 143, 147's at .020 off in my other rifles and they all shoot well. Can't do that with the PRS due to mag length issues. Currently I am running retumbo, cause I have 8 lbs I need to use, but going to retest RL26. Retumbo starts seeing pressure signs at 58 grains. Book max is 59.3 which is about right since they use light Hornady brass and I am using ADG. I am seeing roughly 2920-30 with 140s, 2880-2900 with 143, 2850-2860 with 147's. I haven't finalized a load yet. from 57-58 grains both the 140 and 143 had a sd of 13.4. I am retesting the top of the powder charge and expect the 143 to be running 2860 to 2890. That is about 100 fps slower than I expected. [/QUOTE]
