There are 2 threads about the 156 and older thread about the prototype 155 Berger

Some folks are getting 2700 fps and more from the creed

....as in my Gradous 7STW!!!!! Love tha 195!!!!!!!

Regarding the 156EOL, I get 2770 in 6.5 CM Lapua brass (RL26). I’ve got a thread detailing load development on here somewhere.

I’m lucky to get 30 rounds without having to get the Carbon out of the throat. I’ve got 14lbs of N570 now, so no more RL33.
