    If Im planning on shooting further than I'm happy to use a 120 6.5 pill I'll take my 284 or 7Saum running a 162.

    I've just picked up a 6.5CM with a 20" tube I've got 123amax laying around so that's going to be used first.
    Where did you get that superformance powder from Brads?

    So would i be correct in saying that I could be reasonably confident in getting at least 2700 if not closer to 2800 with an 18" barrel and a 120 or 123 I realise live isn't without risk
