6.5 prc Berger 156 eol

[Jdutton24]

So I have a fierce rival carbon xp 24 in barrel waiting on delivery. I'm trying to get to 2950 fps with Berger 156 eols. I have n570 h1000 and retumbo on hand. Anyone have data that they have gotten that fps with these powders? I'm at 600 ft elevation

I have a CA Ridgeline 24 inch barrel. I was caught up on speed for a while but my best accuracy is at 2915. N570. Start off low (55gr) and work your way up.

Accuracy ALWAYS trumps speed. ALWAYS

Just find what is most accurate and run with it. Those bullets will perform beyond most humans shooting abilities. A good temp stable powder on a close to full charge weight and you’re going to do just fine.

Following, wanting to work up also.

59.1 of retumbo is 2930 for me, I got to around 3000 with h1000 but the retumbo groups were better

Retumbo was the fastest but the v560 was the most accurate powder and still 2940 fps I think.
