[QUOTE="simmonzz, post: 2451275, member: 118783"] I know, ADG and everyone says the same thing. I wasn’t trying to push the envelope right out of the gate. Like I’d said I was under the impression I was at the “starting” charge weights working my way up. With that being said though there is no load data for a 16.5” 6.5 saum. There’s load data for 22-26” 6.5 saum and all of those guys seem to be running powders I don’t have AND they seem to be runnin higher charge weights than I would feel comfortable shooting at this point in time with my current results. Only reason I was even trying faster powders like 4350 and 4831 is because of my short barrel. My speeds were anywhere from 2400-2760 which is nowhere near what I thought I’d be able to get out of this cartridge in this barre length. I was fully expecting to push the 143 eldx at around 2900-3k. The reason I thought I’d be able to obtain those velocities is because my 18” 6.5 creedmoor pushes the 143 eldx at 2690 with 41.6gr of h4350. So with an additional 13gr of h4350 in the 6.5 saum you’d think it’d be noticeably faster than 2690 not only 70fps faster [/QUOTE]
