[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1436158, member: 85987"] At 47.0 with the 147 it would push the bullets out with .003 neck tension in peterson brass. I was running 46.3@ 2.840-55 with outstanding results. My lands were 2.857 new out of the box. I sold the rifle 2 weeks ago and the last number in my book was 2.863 @ 859 rounds. In 1/2 dozen 6.5s over the winter147's would shoot really well 2750 2800 @ 2.820 2830-2855 @2.835 and 2.855. At 2930 in my gun they were leaving a shiney spot about the 4th round of the string but shot well. All of these speeds showed sd's under 6 and Most had ES in that range for a magazine. In my testing with peterson brass in colder temps 215's ruled. They would have wider nodes and very low sd's. My second lot of powder was 40fps slower at the charge weight. It took .3 grains to get back to 2840(46.6) It really wanted to be at 2855 but the amount of powder caused the bullet seating issues. Alpha brass did alot of testing and made their spr brass 080 because it was more consistent. When I looked at their numbers they were far different than mine with lapua. I saw significant speed differences in 23 and down temps that I was shooting in with Rl26. Fastest way to figure it out is this. Load in .2 increments from 44.0-45.8 Shoot the 10 over a chronograph. Look where the flat spots are 45.5.6 should be a max with the 147's with once fired and naked bullets. Once you have the areas where the speed was flat. Those 2 nodes are going to produce low sd's One will be around 2700 and the other quite a bite faster 2830-2860 in a 24" tube Might even be higher I never shot once fired with naked bullets only Danzac coated.
