[QUOTE="lejuch, post: 2181412, member: 95250"] Load data summation for my 6.5 Sherman Max, running 20” Carbon Six barrel, Tikka donor action. 6.5 Max brass from Rich. 210M Primers, 123 AH. i have tried I believe 8 different powders. Seemingly, the fastest I can [I]safely [/I]run the 123 Absolutes is going to be around 3100 FPS. This speed is achievable with 4 or five of the different powders. I can go faster but at the expense of over pressure. Using Varget, I am around 52 gn to reach 3100. Great groups but was hoping to achieve a bit more velocity without high pressure signs. The 20” barrel was chosen to build a lightweight hunting rifle but has cost me some of the velocity others are getting. I’m not unhappy, just wanted it ALL! You know, a lightweight, short barrel that slung 123 AH at 3500 FPS with one hole groups! But alas, no free lunches. As usual, these number are for my specific rifle and components, please work up when try to find your rifle’s safe top speed. Be safe! [/QUOTE]
