[QUOTE="deputyrpa, post: 3062973, member: 37786"] So I ran the Staball 6.5 in my the 6.5 CM this afternoon with 140gr SGKs. I fed a long dummy round in a few times to determine jam (the hick method), and seated .25 thou off the lands. I started my load at 43gr, which averaged 2734fps with and ES of 26. Then I went to 43.5gr and averaged 2786 with an SD of 12. Both groups were less than 0.75MOA, but I wasn't taking my time due to the wind. I was going to run back up to the house and load up some 44gr loads, but it became so windy that my chrony on the tripod blew over a few times. I'll pick up where I left off tomorrow. BTW, I used the White River large rifle primers for the first time. They go in hard, and the cup seems a tad bit taller. I hand prime because I like the feelz. They worked just fine, as there was no deficiency velocity. [/QUOTE]
