[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 3038483, member: 123382"] I totally agree with Arkansasdad. I have learned the hard way with my 6.5 PRC's that chasing and trying to beat the velocity in the loading manuals comes at a price. You can do it, but as I have said before--there are no free lunches. Out of all the guns in my safe (and there are many), I only have one that will still hold great groups with the upper end hot loads (Remington 700 Sendero Stainless in 300 RUM, 26" barrel). Those high velocities usually cost you accuracy and shortened brass and barrel life. I have absolutely come up with some remarkable speeds in my Browning Hells Canyon X-Bolt in 28 Nosler (greater than published with only slight pressure signs); however, I know if I keep it up I am asking for it with a short barrel life. Great discussion guys and one I wish I would have been a part of when I started reloading 31 years ago. Thanks [/QUOTE]
