[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1395041, member: 98561"] Hell ELD-Ms seem to perform pretty adequate on medium size game. Does Sierra not have a 200gr TMK? As for powder choice for the 260 depending on barrel length my go to would be Varget, 8208 XBR, RL16, and then RL26. According to quickload RL16 with the 6.5x47 has around a 110% fill ratio at well below max pressure. I'm compressing 41.2gr of RL16 with my 123s and am getting 2850 out of an 18" tube. Only pushed to 42.8 QL states a max of 43ish. Friend of mine was getting 2900 with RL16 and 140s out of his 6.5CM out of a 26" tube. I can't attest to whether that was safe or not, but i've continually seen many load well past max with RL16. I've not run into any pressure signs, like i was doing with 4451 and 2000MR. 2000MR will easily get you some great velocity as well though i can't attest to it's temp stability. [/QUOTE]
