[QUOTE="The Badger, post: 1785142, member: 52390"] I had a similar experience loading the 124 HH's for my 6.5 CM with a 1 in 8 twist. Data Steve suggested using Varget was right on. 8 rounds working up to slight pressure, backed off a grain and a half (which happened to be a nice flat spot in velo), three 4 shot groups at .2 gr increments around that, picked best and was done. Right around 3,000 fps. Have taken 4 deer with them this season at shorter ranges, 60-200 yrds, all pass through, two DRT, two covered 50 to 60 yrds with lung shots, with liquefied vitals and reasonably minimal meat damage. Looking forward to working up some of the same in my 6.5x284, 1 in 8 twist for next year. Will be trying RL-23, per their suggestion. [/QUOTE]
