[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2179442, member: 116181"] 6.5mm based on the bullet, is it a Creedmoor? Numbers look that way. If it is it's running on the slow side, how many rounds down the barrel? Edit: found your other thread. Sounds like a new rifle with not a lot shot through it yet. My 6.5 speed up measurably over the first 100 rounds, almost 100FPS. I'd shoot the rest of the brass through with a nice mild load (like the #4) and see what it does over as many identical rounds as you can load. You'll probably net 50fps more from it. Once it settles down, then shoot the ladder. It's going to be a tail chase if your velocity is moving upwards in a new barrel and you're trying to find a node. I would not go 1.4gr over max with a known sensitive powder like Win 760 going into summertime temps. It's already hit 90* here. Max it out at 30* then shoot it at 80* and you might not like what happens. [/QUOTE]
