[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 2908682, member: 123382"] So here is some load data: Factory Hornady Precision Hunter 143 gr ELD-X averaged 2,742fps and grouped 3/4” at 300 yards (I didn’t group them at 100 yards). My best reload (performance and accuracy) is as follows: 6.5 PRC Lapua brass with .002” shoulder bump; Fed 210M primer; 60.5gr of RL 25; 143gr ELD-X seated .017” off the lands. Avg 3,026fps; 3 shot group at 100 yards 3/8” all day everyday and twice on Sunday. I will take that all day long from a $1,500 gun (bare gun not including scope and rings). To be honest I am still experimenting with some VV N565 that is coming very close to the RL 25 on the velocity. If I can get the same performance and accuracy from the VV N565 I would rather use it because I have much more of it and it burns cleaner and has anti-fouling agents in it. RL 26 would be my preference; however it is impossible to find. I am told that VV N565 is very close to RL 26; however I have no scientific proof of that but recently I have read a lot of viable information that seems to indicate the burn rates are very close. Hope this helps. Thanks [/QUOTE]
