[QUOTE="Wilderness Blacktail, post: 1840420, member: 27906"] I've only loaded Superformance and RL26 in mine. A 22" R.A Predator I had and a 26" XBolt HCLR. I got the same velocities with each powder but RL26 was more swirl-tap-swirl and SF just pour and seat. I've shot these bullets: 100TTSX, 120ELD, 120GMX, 127LRX, 123 MK, 143ELDX, 147 ELDM, 147DRT and shot great groupswith very little tuning. Cloverleafs with most of em. I was mostly trying to see what the guns and bullets were capable of velocity wise. Both of these guns just plain easy to get to shoot well. 22" velocities rounded to 5: 143eldx/2810, 120eld/3000, 147eld/2770, 100ttsx/3230 26": 147eldx/2880, 147drt/2870, 100ttsx/ 3330(before breakin), 127lrx/ 2995, 120mk/3030 I know Superformance isnt known to be temp stable but it's not very sensitive in my experience with a handful of calibers. Rl26 is purported to be temp stable (tho not the temp consistent claim made for rl23/16 etc) but has a rep of being spikey and erratic in warmer temps. Like 80+. I agree, I thot my chrono was actin up till I did a search. That's my 13 months and 800rds of 6.5 creed experience. [/QUOTE]
