I am hesitant to do any load development in winter, regardless of how temp stable powder is. Would hate to have issue in warm weather.

Started at 54 and ended at 56gr. Best group was at 54 with 2841fps. 56gr at 2959fps with SD of 6 and ES of 15 but group wasn't great. I was just looking for speed at this point, will try again and play with my seating.

Default 6.5prc

Here is a couple of charts for the PRC running a 156gr Berger. (1st chart) Vs 7mmRM running a 168 gr VLD match. (2nd chart). Both starting out at 2950ft/sec.
Very interesting...
