[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1083829, member: 13833"] You 6.5 SS shooters, and others, really should try RL26! I shot some again today to proof what I found last week. The ES is nothing short of amazing! These were mild loads with 140 Bergers. Here are a couple of not so good pics from my cheap cell phone: [ATTACH]48034.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]48035.vB[/ATTACH] I had a couple other spreads that were also very good. These were fired with the exact same load but the necks were .001" difference which accounted for about 10'/sec. When neck was increased another .001", spread increased a little more and velocity went up about 20'/sec additional. This is why turning necks, or at least making sure they are consistent, is important.....Rich ** I am now recommending that you turn your necks to no more than .014" wall thickness. If you are currently shooting .015", you may have to up the charge approx. .5 grains or more......... [/QUOTE]
