[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2413580, member: 116620"] Today I went too my range and did a ladder test with the 109 gr hammer absolute shot from my 6.5 prc Proof Research 26” 1-8 twist barrel ,action Curtis Axiom action. The powder is N560 with cci 250 mag primers. The oal is 2.860 004 neck tension hornady brass, with a lee crimp powder charge 61 grs 3435fps 62. grs 3489 62.5 grs 3575 ,63 grs 3592 62 grs had slight bolt lift and 62.5 grs had a little more lift with a small ejector imprint . When I got back too the reloading bench resized and primed ,all primer pockets are still good and tight . I did a eight shot test but had a couple of miss readings so recorded what mattered first 5 shots .75 and last 3 shots .5 over all 8 shots 1.25 moa 100 yds . I think this might be my go too bullet for the ranges I hunt .this test was done off of a single bull bag no rear rest with the after noon sun in my eyes quarantining from the Covid with nothing better too do after putting hay out for the cows . I’m a little disappointed I was shooting for 3600 fps oh well that’s life. I’m going too try and send a picture will be my first still learning. [/QUOTE]
