[QUOTE="JMHNL, post: 2548774, member: 89971"] Just worked up the following: 6.5 PRC 123AH 1X ADG brass WLR primer RL26 CBTO 2.358" in 24" Proof I started with a ladder from 57.0-61.0gr in 1 gr increments, then went down to 0.5gr from 61.5-65.0gr. Amazingly no pressure all the way up, although the 64.0 and up is getting into a compressed load. Velocity as follows: 57.0gr 3086fps 58.0gr -- 59.0gr 3156fps 60.0gr 3227fps 60.5gr 3224fps 61.0gr 3275fps 61.5gr 3298fps 62.0gr 3333fps 62.5gr 3349fps 63.0gr -- 63.5gr 3406fps 64.0gr 3450fps 64.5gr 3480fps 65.0gr 3503fps I shot a 5 round group at 64.5gr for a little under 1 MOA, I just wanted to get it huntable as I'll be going to shoot some axis deer in a couple weeks and want to see how they perform on game before really messing with fine-tuning. Sadly my Labradar does not like recording these higher velocity shots for some reason, I only got 2 readings out of the 5 round group so no meaningful velocity spreads to share. Also performed a ladder with RL25, but I ran out of room in the case at 63.5gr and the velocities were consistently 150-200fps slower than the RL26....but they did shoot a tiny little bughole for the first 6 shots of the ladder.
