Very nice. I have had one for about 2 years now and it is pretty sweet. Enjoy!

Good deal. Let me know how it works out. I am using retumbo but it's running out and doesn't look like there will be any in stock anywhere for a time. I have 16 lbs of RL26 so will be interested in your results.

Have you shot Berger's 156 gr EOL with Retubo in your 6.5 Sherman? If so, what speeds are you seeing? Thanks.

 

[Joejack]

No I don't have any 156 Bergers to try going to stay with 140 for now I have 500 of them

140 Berger's and N570 worked really good in my Sherman. 3339 FPS out of a 28" Hart.
