[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1417461, member: 307"] Tried the 147 M's today in my 28" Lothar Walther, heavy barreled Savage 112 in 6.5-284 Norma. Used RL26 with BR2 primers and Norma brass, OAL 2.6000". Loaded 54.0gn to 55.5gn. Cleaned barrel before starting with Hoppe's 9, Foaming Bore Cleaner and then ammonia. Dry patched it out and let it set, barrel down, for 45 minutes. 54.0gn - First shot out was obviously affected by the clean barrel. Velocity was 2956fps with 2 and 3 being 3012 and 3005, respectively. Average was 2991fps with ES of 56 and SD of 30.51. Accuracy was .540". 54.5gn - 3059/3054/3041, avg: 3051fps, ES: 18, SD: 9.29, Acc: .924". 55.0gn - 3086/3083/3078, avg: 3082fps, ES: 8, SD: 4.04, Acc: .6915". 55.5gn - 3107/3104/3103, avg: 3104fps, ES: 4, SD: 2.08, Acc: .425". All testing was down at 100yds. Temp.: 55-58*, BP: 29.96in. Slight primer cratering on all loads, with no other pressure signs. Very pleased with this powder/bullet combo and I feel like I could possibly go up to 56.5-57.0gn but will stay here for now. [/QUOTE]
