Finally had a chance to chrono some loads in my Bergara Ridge 6.5CM, 22" barrel and internal mag. Brass is Hornady, 143gr ELD-X and primer CCI200. My most accurate load with RL16 was 2550 fps so I went searching with 4350. Got better velocity testing loads from from 40.0 to 42.3gr with no pressure signs at 42.3gr. Although velocity was better accuracy was just under an inch so still not what I was looking for. Had a pound of RL26 so I loaded started at 44.0 and worked up to 46.5gr in 1/2gr increments. Accuracy really improved and velocity was also up. Settled on 46.0gr and from the 22" barrel getting 2700 fps with spread of 12 fps and SD of 5. 5 shot groups in the 0.6 to 0.7" range. Base to ogive 2.129".
