6.5 saum v 6.5 saum improved

[BigCountry82]

How did your 6.5 SAUM +P turn out? Curious what your final load/velocity came out to be?

I have had the rifle back for a while. I didnt end up going with a +p ( stuck with the standard Saum chamber). I havent done any load development with the rifle. All my reloading equipment is in storage ( effects of home renovations). I have plenty of brass of components. Hopefully will be back up and running this summer.

Still in build. Supposed to go to cerekote in the next month.

I'd love to get a hold of some R26 to try in my +P!

Try rl23... I've been working with a rifle im going to list forsale on a 20inch barrel. 140 elites are very accurate and 3061... 156 bergers are 2940s with n560 also

Got my rifle from UM last Tuesday, fire formed 100 cases. Now time for load development as soon as I get my bushing.

65 grns 565, 3090 with 156 eol.
6.5 UM +P. 100 YRD 5 shot groups 3/4 moa and holding true out to 800. I don't have a range to shoot past 800 but do shoot rocks across canyons and I was hitting a 14 inch rock at 1094

I'm running 156s at 2890 with a 22in 65saum. Shoots pretty well. 7 shots at 400y was just over 2". Load shoots equally at same velocity with H1000 and N565. I can run the node at 3000fps, but it's pretty high on pressure.

My pressure is high. I'm only getting 3 loads before my brass is shot. But didn't buy it for brass life.

That sure is fast if you just hunt with it most the time last a long time. One thing I had an issue with was a carbon ring with h 1000 anybody else have same issue

H1000 is one of the cooler cleanest burning temp stable magnum powders out there. I've not experienced that.

Including the fire-forming firing?
