Looking for some data from Quickload if anyone would be willing to share

Currently running my 6.5CM with Lapua brass (52.4 avg capacity) at ~2.9 COAL with 143gr ELD-X. I am going to try R16 and R26 and was hoping someone could give me a rundown with this setup and those powders.

Thanks
 
Don't have QL ( 'yet'). Your case capacity is 0.6 gn under my 1XF Hornady brass (53 gns H20 - average). Doesn't sound like much but it is. I looked in Hornadys 10th ED loading manual and they do not list RL-16 or RL-26 for the 143 ELD-X. If they did, you could have used their numbers and just started off a good distance (charge-wise) under max and found a load.

Good luck with a QL owning good samaritan dropping by! lg
