Hey,
Here is what I've figured out for mine.
127 gr LRX's, Fed 215, Wby brass, 80gr of IMR 8133 @ 3455fps, SD: 5, CBTO 4.123, 3 shot groups avg .705 @ 100yds. Shot it at 600 yds, 3 shots @ 4 inches.
Same bullet, brass, primer, but with US869 92gr, 3495fps, SD8, CBTO 4.127, 3 shot group @ 100yds .75
Good luck, it's a lazer beam weapon

Thank you for the info
I've only done very basic development so far (got sidetracked onto Smokeless Muzzleloaders since then), but this is what I ran, and it was quite accurate. Peterson brass - sorted by weight & fully prepped, CI 250 LRM primers, PPU 120gr HPBT bullets, seated to 3.528", 74gr H1000, 3100 fps. I have better bullets I plan to try when I get back into it, and I'm sure I can get more velocities, but this is a decent starting load. Rifle is factory Weatherby Mark V Elite with 26" 1:8" twist barrel
I put a lot of time into this one the 127 LRX I get 3538 ft./s It is extremely accurate. Shot elk and aoidad with it out West The furthest distance shot was 1266 yards using the Hornady bullet drop calculator the doping was on point.
143 is a great load as well only shot that out the 400 yards but it is on. Just started playing with 156s because I have a surplus of them but probably would never hunt them.

US 869 with 143 eldx, however bullet is extremely destructive.
124 hammer hunter. 88 grains of lrt 3.01 inches at 680 yards and a 4.87 inch group at 710. Loaded to as long as the mag box would allow me. Can't remember my old load with us 869 and the 127 lrx but it wasn't as fast as the hammers.

What bullets and powder is everyone using in the 6.5-300?
