[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1323896, member: 605"] Here are the loads I've tested in my 6.5 WSM's. All with CCI 200's and all near max and with a 26" barrel. I use R26 near exclusively now and have settled on 62 grains with the 140's. That gives me 3200 fps with either the Berger EH or ELD and accuracy is outstanding. With my latest barrel I get pressure signs with any higher charge. I did a test a week ago with the 62 grain R26 load using Fed 215M, CCI 250, Fed 210 and Winchester magnum primers. Velocities differed by less than 10 FPS and all SD's were less than 10. N570 66 grains 140 Berger Elite Hunters 3194 fps 4831SC 63 grains 140 Berger EH 3172 fps 4831SC 62.5 grains 140 ELD 3180 fps Reloder 26 65.5 grains Berger EH 3300 fps SD 3.4 Reloder 26 64.5 grains 140 ELD 3315 fps SD 5 Noted, loaded round left in hot chamber resulted in ejector mark Retumbo 68 grains 140 VLD 3207 fps [/QUOTE]
