[QUOTE="woods, post: 580002, member: 6042"] Hey Blacktail, I have a 6.5 rem mag built off a long action Browning 300 win mag I have loaded 140 gr Sierra Game Kings, 130 gr Accubonds, 130 gr Scirrocco II's Generally speaking I would recommend RL22 or RL25 for the 140 gr and RL17 for the 130 gr loads. I managed to get 3100 fps out of the 140 gr and 3200 fps out of the 130 gr My load now is with the 130 gr Scirrocco II's at about 3175 fps with RL17, remington cases and Fed215 primers If you want to try the RL17 then a good starting point would be 51 or 52 grs and start working up. That is a full 3 to 4 grains below where I wound up and I never did get any pressure signs. Also working on multiple reloads with my cases. The Scirroccos in my gun like to be seated at .060" off the lands [/QUOTE]
