I'd really be pushing my 6.5X55 to get 2700 with the 147's. I sit here holding both fired empty cases of 6.5CM and 6.5X55 and grinning. The 6.5CM sure is proving itself to me. Been having dificulty finding RL26 but when I do ...... Fun!

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
