[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1461492, member: 307"] Running the 147gn ELD-M's through 28" Lothar Walther barrel, .010" off LaG, ahead of 56.5gn of Retumbo, Norma brass and BR2's. Getting average of 3017fps with ES of 14 / SD of 7. Accuracy is running in the .3-.4's. I also tried this bullet ahead of RL-26, but ran out. I found it to be capable of much more speed but was inconsistent for me. By that I mean, I initially loaded it and got good accuracy/speed. Picked it back up 2 weeks later in identical weather conditions, same lots or everthing and ran in to pressure immediately with heavy bolt lifts, ejector marks on case and accuracy wasn't as good. I had less than 20 rounds down the tube so I know it wasn't spotless but this barrel is super smooth and fouls little to none. I may try RL-26 in my 6.5/284 again, later, but for now I'll stick with Retumbo for it and RL26 for my .300WinMag and the 212gn ELD-X. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
