2720 is what I got with SB6.5, Lapua brass, CCI250’s. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ww233/beretzs/8BEDD75E_9A04_4631_9D0E_823F31833019_61741355079_995498A9_8022_4D7D_8FE7_B6A760EC62B5.JPG)

Looks like it's time to break into the StaBall 6.5 and try some heavier bullets.  Guy

Yes, looks like StaBall 6.5 is getting great results. I don't think I have any to try.
Another powder to keep an eye on.

2720fps with 212gr pills in 06 is impressive to say at least.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Thawing habanero spiced summer sausage and elk backstrap steaks... An excellent reward for the hunt! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/9UZMhFth.jpg)

Uhh, what time is dinner, again?
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

My mouth is watering looking at those backstraps!

A friend took an elk at 742 yards a few years back with my 280 Ruger#1 with a 175 grain ELDX bullet
One and done.
His crew all shoot them in everything from 6.5Creeds to 300WSM
