Are those velocities with the 130 TGK?
I had another go with the prc and had a very consistent "hole in ones" grouping and velocities with 60gr 2217 @ 2925. I also tried Rl26 from 58gr to 59gr working up and max load giving 2960 with very good grouping. Gonna run with 2217 and hide the Rl26 till another day.
It takes 20 barrels of water to make 1 barrel of beer...
Interesting 60gn 2217 and 142 SMK are at 3142 (Magnetospeed) 28 inch barrel in my 6.5SAUM
Nice mild load brass on 13 loading too.
2225 definitely gives more velocity at over 3200
I would have prefered the PRC but it was not around ...............................

Any of you guys with a 20inch barrel tried the factory 147 Eld-match be interested to know what accuracy an speed was like cheers
@Ardy
I my 6.5prc 18"bartlein barrel factory 147gr eldm was approx 2600fps. Accuracy was approx 0.75moa.
My moderate pressure 147eldm handloads are 2820fps
My 20 inch 260 carbonlight will do 2725fps with 147 eldms. So not much slower than 6.5 prc?
