[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 1423577, member: 91995"] So I took my new 6.5CM out yesterday for its initial break-in. I loaded up some ADG virgin brass with CCI 200 primers and RE26 (44.8-46.8). Based on some other postings here I was expecting kind of pedestrian numbers with others loading up say 48 grns of RE26 and getting around 3000fps. I was quite surprised by the numbers my LabRadar was spitting out. My build is a Howa 1500 I just had rebarreled in 6.5CM. The barrel was made and installed by Mark Chanlynn with 1:8 twist. My numbers were as follows: 44.8 AVG - 2823 45.3 AVG - 2843 45.8 AVG - 2881 46.3 AVG - 2951 - slightly compressed load 46.8 AVG - 3003 - compressed load, slight ejector mark There was a slight ejector mark on the 46.8 but otherwise no signs of pressure. I was not really expecting real numbers, and still don't based on I was breaking in the barrel (shoot, clean, shoot, clean method) and the brass is virgin, but i was not expecting that. Having said that, my SD and ES, especially in the lighter loads, was nothing to write home about. I'll be curious to see what happens after the next loading on this brass as well as once a few more rounds are down the tube. Might put the MagnetoSpeed on to confirm the LabRadar again as well.
