Was wondering if someone would be kind enough to run quickload data for my 6.5-06 with Hornady 147 ELDms with H1000 powder? Have been running H4831SC but I like to tinker and experiment.
OAL 3.384
Barrel length 26"
Remington 30-06 Brass annealed and necked down
Federal 210m primer
Thanks in advance..
I have provided much more info in a follow up post below.

Youd also need to supply more information if you want accurate data. Hornady and Hodgdon also have data
OAL
H2O capacity
bullet length
bullet weight
case length
twist
etc

Please double check your OAL. An OAL of 3.984" is not mathematically possible it exceeds the total length (3.913") of the case (2.490") and bullet (1.423") and places the base of the bullet outside of the case neck. For reference, SAAMI max OAL is 3.44"
 
Don't have quick load, I run 6.5-06 with Nosler 140gr bullet and 54.4 grains of H1000 and it is deadly

Sorry about OAL mistake. It was a typo. OAL is 3.384". Contact with the lands is at 3.40". Case length is 2.484. The barrel is a 1 in 8" twist Criterion 26". Match Chambered for longer bullets
Case Cap. Fired is 66.75 grains avg per 10 cases
Case capacity sized is 65.6 grains avg per 10 cases
The Hornady Eldm 147 is 1.453"
Powder is H1000. Primer is Fed. 210m
My hopes with H1000 are to get the same speed as my H4831sc load with a little less pressure. Of course a little more velocity would be fine but I'm chasing accuracy and consistency. My current load is a little tough on primer pockets in some brass but is fine in Remington 30/06 brass. Plus I just like to experiment.
I tried GRT a while back but could not get it to run on my iPad which is all I have. I may readdress that.
 
Double check those numbers on the input. Best powders common here are VV570 then RL33 then RL50 then H870, all compressed loads, some very compressed. You could pick up 100fps above this with VV570

Data requested attached per your updated parameters. I also ran a propellant table query to identify powders capable of reaching maximum pressure of 65000 psi without exceeding 100% case fill. Let me know if you need anything further.

Thanks guys I appreciate the info. It appears H1000 may do what I want. I'll see how the accuracy and consistency turns out. This barrel seems to have a node at 2890fps with the 147s with a few different powders. It shoots in the mid .3s there with H4831sc. That velocity is fine as i'm after consistency, temp stability, and a touch less pressure if it works out. Hopefully H1000 will help cut vertical dispersion down some at 1000 compared to H4831sc. I also plan to try some 140s. The few 140s I have shot look promising but I've been focused on the 147s.

That's the kind of statistics I'm looking for. Good looking group. What brass do you use?
My brass is fired 270win brass that i pickup, reformed to 6.5-06, and trimmed to 2.484. Most of this batch is Remington, Federal, Prvi Partizan, PMC, LC and Hornady. This particular group was shot with Prvi Parizans, however I can not tell any difference between the REM, FC, PMC or the Prvi Part with this load.

Nice! I Ike the chassis. Mine is in a chassis as well. I've found that I shoot better with the AR style pistol grip after I broke my hand. It's much more comfortable. I've been Interested in the 6.5-06 since high school and finally got around to building one 35 years later. I haven't been disappointed.
