Anyone have any load data for these for a 26 inch barrel 6.5cm using h4350 / Hornady brass/fed 210m/ whats a decent velocity for these?

I can easily get 2800 with them in my 260 with a 26” barrel.

I use oddball brass and I’m guessing OP is talking 6.5 CM so I’ll skip load data.

I think I'm right at 43 or 43.1 grains of H4350 using lapua brass and Berger 140 hybrids. Depending on the time of year they're a few FPS either side of 2,800. No pressure seated .015" off the lands.
 
Didn't get a chance to chono them yet. Guessing 2710 ?? Running them through a LRI 24" barrel. I'm trying three different bullets , 140 Hybrids, 140 ELDM and 140 Berger LRBT. LRBT has less bearing surface than a Hybrid. I should have state the load above was with Hornady brass. I'm also trying Peterson brass. They weigh 30 grains a case more than Hornady, and have more neck tension. I might turn the necks on the Peterson's. Trying to figure best bullet and case? Might even try Lapua brass??

24" RPR Stock Barrel
.020 off the lands
RL-16
41.6 gr.
Starline 6.5 CM LRP
CCI BR-2
2724 fps

Shoots sub MOA all day long everywhere I can reach as long as the shooter does their part. Quickload indicates a pressure max of 56013 psi so it's semi mello. No pressure signs what so ever.

For a 26" barrel, Quickload indicates a 2823 fps muzzle velocity. Quickload is showing a similar profile with H4350 so just start up at 41.0 and work your way up. It's velocity is a little lower by at least 30 fps. I do think that 2700 fps is a good accuracy node.

It's a fantastic projectile.
