I took my brother-in-law from Aus out with me to shoot my follow up load tests a couple of days ago. We shot some test loads on paper with the 6.5prc and the .223 then out to 470m with the .223 before shooting 700m with the 6.5. A couple of young cats were shot right close to us while we were shooting the paper which was a bonus
i loaded up some of the 56gr RL26 fed210 147 eld-m load which i'll use to fire form the new brass. Also finished shooting a 2225 57.5gr load i didn't get time to shoot previously.
Much better velocity consistency and accuracy after correctly sizing the new brass necks this time. I'm happy with the RL26 56gr load accuracy with the magneto speed not attached. I wont bother doing a seating depth test with this load.
My Bro-i-law (a non-shooter but a natural) shot three of the 147gr rl26 56gr load at the gong at 702m after i had it on target (tricky tail wind over hill country) with the last of my old 143gr eldx loads.
The actual group size would measure less if you allow for the 0.1mil up click i dialed after his first two low hits (approx 0.3moa). I had my camera on the target so know exactly which hits on the gong are which.
