6.5/260


First post in the thread linked has a couple terminal results. They seem to work great. I used RL 16, wound up quite aways beyond the load data above to get 2650 fps in a 22" barrel.

No pressure signs?
2650 has me about 3/10 of a grain under pressure signs.

I'm switching back to 130 TMK when my current inventory is gone, as I don't like loading that close to pressure. However, the 156s have been extremely accurate and, in my limited use, excellent terminally.

If I was shooting a 6.5 PRC instead they would be my bullet of choice.
