Moved this discussion from the Reloading Room thread to here
Let me preface this with saying I am running a Mossberg Patriot Predator with a 24in barrel.
Ok so I got some new 156gr Bergers in this week and loaded up a few test batches.
Here's the chronograph results.
156gr Berger 58.5gr Retumbo
156gr Berger 57.4gr H1000
156gr Berger 59.5gr StaBall HD
I also shot my 150gr Sierra MatchKing, 140gr Sierra MatchKing, and 140gr Partition loads as well.
150gr SMK 58.5gr Retumbo
140gr SMK 59gr H1000
140gr Partition 59gr H1000
So as you can see if seems like the velocity is pretty low compared to what book data says for 150-153gr bullets.
Here's Hornady and Hodgdon data.
Thoughts?? Anyone running a 6.5 PRC shooting 150gr class bullets with these powders??
