There is not much load data for the 6.5 Rem Mag with newer powders so I had to start lower and work up.
The 6.5 RM holds 5 more grains of powder than my 6.5x284 and 4 more than the 6.5-06.
Here are some loads with newer powders.
140 Berger VLD
7828sc 57.0 3,150
Retumbo 62.0 3,019
RL 17 54.5 2,900 I really like this load easy on recoil and accurate.
Superformance 54.0 3,010
W780 55.0 2,622 very accurate but disappointed with the speed.
This is the powder so far for best accuracy. Shot a one hole group with this one.
N560 54.0 3,050
Always appreciate data like that.
In my 6.5-284, 48.8 gr. RL-17 gives top accuracy and 3,000 fps with low SD's. I can push it to 3,100 fps, but accuracy suffers. One would think the larger 6.5 RM case would do even better.
I have Vv N-560, just never tried it.
I wish there was more Superperformance data available.
