[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 961323, member: 2460"] Have been busy developing loads and hunting bear with my 375 PRO wildcat, have not messed with the 6.5 PRO since my last data post . I finally got me a dedicated scope for this rifle recently ( Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44 VMR-1 moa) as soon as I get the sucker mounted I will attempt load developement with RL-33, hoping I don't run into powder bridging problems ! US869 gave me excellent velocity results with the 160gr Matrix VLD and 160gr Woodleigh Weldcore bullets, this time I will be recording velocity and accuracy, also will be getting some of the new 150 gr Matrix bullets and will run a load work up with starting loads up to max to generate safe load data, will run H-US869 and try some faster powders like Ramshot Magnum and Win Supreme 780... I will post the results here as soon as I generate the data , thanks for the interest ! Meanwhile here is a comparison pic .... 160 gr Matrix VLD seated to 3.340" COAL in both cartridges 26 Nosler (left) next to the 6.5 Prometheus **note... bullet ogive contact with rifling is at 2.751" (COAL 3.40") in the 6.5 PRO with the 160 gr Matrix VLD [/QUOTE]
