Just Awesome,one more box of bullets i have to try out of my .264WM :thinking-006:

I was able to push almost the same speeds as a 140 eol

What powder

Talked to Insite, they referred me to Neerlandia CO-OP. Got 2 boxes coming.

Retumbo or n570
Over 3000 fps

Neerlandia coop is awesome
Best place for hard to find items

6.5 SAUM here.

With a new Proof Research 8 twist finished to 24".

You running 156? If so what powder?

Hopefully next week. I don't have any 156's yet.

I will be using ADG brass, burning RL26 and H1000.

Chamber cut with .120" freebore.

I have lots of H1000 but haven’t stumbled on Andy RL26 yet. I want some ADG brass too.

I’m getting single digit es and tight groups with h1000

Bighorn Sales has ADG brass. If they are out RPS has some too.
I got lucky this summer. TNT Gunworks in Regina received some RL26 in early July. I think it was gone within the week it showed up.

Got my 156 Bergers. Not sure on velocity but like group. First load I tried. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...085e2e9f6a.jpg

Post your speeds when you get them. I have a PRC and was thinking of trying the 156gr. I'm getting 2950 with the 140s with 58.3gr of H1000. Your group is looking good.

I could push them above 3000 FPS with a 6.5x284 and n570

I went with h1000 and @ 2940 FPS it’s one ragged home and sd of under 5 fps

Min 1- 8" twist recomended, wonder if my Sako with 1 -9 " twist will stabilize it?

147gr factory
0.125” group
2997fps
2956fps
2964fps

156gr 2.990 OAL 55.5gr H1000
0.23” group
2830fps
2827fps
2839fps

156gr 2.990 OAL 55gr H1000
0.73” group
2797fps
2775fps
2775fps

Going to pull some factory bullets and try to get some more velocity. If I can’t I am headed to town for some N565.

Do you have a comparator?

Not sure what you mean?

I'm running the 156 in my benchmark barrel 6.5GAP with N570 with a labradar

60gr 3003fps
60.2. 3018
60.4. 3027

Ejector marks showing
60.6. 3043
60.8. 3054

About 15 thou off lands

Oal length varies bullet to bullet
Comparator measures the distance to the ogive
It’s by far more accurate.

I have a savage semi custom with a Shillen barrel that is 1-8 twist.
1-9 should stabillize them as long as your not at sea level and -30c

Berger has a nice calculator on their website. Velocity plays a role. As well as distance you want to shoot. Distance that a golf ball can fly won't matter, stuff that the average Canadian Tire range finder will start to show issues if they are present. Once you get into 4-digit range it's clear cut
