You leaving some velocity on the table? Not that I chase FPS, just curious what you found above this load.

That's what I'm running these at out of a 24" CM and a X47 with H4350/Varget. What powder you running?


Josh,

I'm using Reloaded 26. I loaded from 47 grains to 50 grains and velocity was 2500 ish to 2760 ish. I stopped at 49.5 only because it was stacking em. There is no lab pressure data for reloader 26 and the 6.5 Swede so not really sure where I am pressure wise. The bolt opens with the lift of my pinky finger however and primers are very rounded. IMO there's 100 fps on the table easy which would only be about 1/2 a grain from where I stopped. I posted my results of my load workup in the gunwriter section if you want to take a more informed look

I'm headed to the range today and a good buddy showed me how to do a you tube video ☺

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
