[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1882996, member: 109476"] The info listed here pertains to my rifle "ONLY". Went out on my home range this morning with my 6.5x06. E.R.Shaw 24" stainless Bbl with 1/8 twist. I have a container of Rel 26 that's been setting around for some time & decided to try it in my rifle. Using CCI # 200 LR primers & working up slowly with the Nosler 140gr AB. I stopped at 54grs of Rel 26 which read 3075 FPS & very uniform/ low shot to shot vel. . Remember this is a 24" bbl. A 26" would give around 60 to 70 fps more which would mean around 3135 or a little more. Brass used is once fired RP 25-06 reformed. After brass had been shot multiple times primers pockets were still very firm . Not the slighest sign of any excessive pressure. Bullets seated about .020 off the lands gave consistent sub 1/2" three shot groups. My target sets at 108 yds from my bench. Sighted at 1/1/2" high I was dead on at 225yds. At this point the wind came up , blowing at probably 20 + MPH, right to left so did not try my 500yd target. A great morning. Fiorgot to add I'm shooting at my place at 7630' elevation. [/QUOTE]
