6.5 PRC W/Barnes 127 LRX Velocity Question

[user]

So, I've been working up a new PRC w/ Barnes 127 LRX's. Landed at 62 Gns of H1000 in a new 24" barrel. This load gets to 3090 to 3140 fps. Is that reasonable with a 24" barrel? Any one have experience with this bullet in the PRC? Should I be expecting more velocity with this bullet? Thanks

Not exactly the 127, but with the 124gr Hunter Hammer solid in a 24” barrel I am getting 3188fps with 60gr VV V565; ADG brass
