If your looking for higher velocities with heavy bullets from short barrels, I recommend RL26 if you can find it.

I can't seem to stuff enough R26 in this case to show pressure signs. 156grn, Coal over 3". Found a good one at 56.8, around 30 thou off.

Agreed!

Open flame? It's just a tiny torch bolted to a machine. Bacon grease is a bigger risk! I just built one for about $100. It's fun if you have the tools.

So far, sounds like H1000, Retumbo and R16 are the ticket for the 150's.

Nice work! What's your barrel length, groove and twist?

As mentioned above, auto charge then beam scale. I've never used a reliable auto charge.

That 284 should be well over 2900 with those 136gn.

This was my problem. I was getting pressure signs early and high ES with magnum primers.

That's nice. Imagine what that turd will do with 60 grains instead of 42... ?

Well my hunt is over. Nothing worth shooting for me. I blame berger ? Any word out there on these?

E-mailed berger yesterday and got the vague robo return email as well. I'll be stickin with the 150's for a while I think.

Maybe we should start blowing up their Email :) I think Berger just had too many projects in their pipeline during their recent HQ move to AZ. I do hope they are available soon, I have a 7 twist PRC that doesn't mind the 150's but dialing in those EOL's was my original intent.

We need a guntube.....

I'm having a McGowen spun up for a long action Savage in PRC. They have the .188 freebore reamer. I should be able to stretch it out with that setup. Hornady at least gives us a head start. https://press.hornady.com/assets/site/hornady/files/load-data/6.5-prc-v2.pdf
