[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1728096, member: 61747"] I ran 140 vlds in my saum, 26" at 3200 using retumbo. When I ran the 140 at book max in my 22" PRC it was 3115. I'd didn't go over book in the testing. Pretty similar. Sounds like that PRC has a slightly slow barrel. I am seeing similar numbers with a 22" but have not finalized a load. I tested 140 vld and eld, 143, 147, and working on 156's. The 156's are showing 2900-2950 currently. 147's are about the same ironically. The difference in bearing surface is about .035-.040 thou. As a result I think the 156 might be a better choice for hunting. In the end, I would think most people are going to see 50-100 fps more in the saum and the prc is going to be 50-100 more than the 6.5-284. I have multiple 6.5-28's and enjoy that cartridge a lot. However, I spent the coin on a custom sa so I am playing with the prc as a result for hunting and then swap barrels for PRS comp to a 6mm variant like the BRA. [/QUOTE]
