[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1417631, member: 307"] "but why did you load to a COAL that was so short?" Measurement from ogive to base was 2.6060" with Stoney Point O.A.L. Gauge...backed it down sixty thousandths to an even 2.6000" (easy to remember and fits the caliber, i.e. 2.6000 = 260, lol). My OAL from tip to base was 3.2365". I don't like to use that measurement because the tips of some bullets vary quiet a bit. "to go over 3100fps with my 150 Sierras..." I feel like I could go higher with the 147's but 55.5gn's was as high as I had loaded. Definitely pleased with results so far. With RL26, 3100fps is probably safely "do-able" with the Sierra 150's and maybe 3050fps with the Berger 156's! Keep me posted. johnnyk. [/QUOTE]
