So your running 260 FPS faster with 2 extra inches of barrel ( lol) and .7 g more powder.143 eldx /Hornady brass/R26 - 57.7 gr gives me 3040, 24" barrel, and is sub moa accurate. Seated to 2.955 COAL, 55 thou jump
57.9 had pressure signs.
I find mine like a 6.5 Creedmoor, but with a little extra snap to it. So, not bad. Ha haCurious what the recoil in the 6.5 PRC is comparable to ?
Crap, that’s good man, 1 1/2 at 600 yards. I’ve been shooting rifles for a few years now, not really to deep into it, other than I like shooting lots,and I like shooting the groups fast.Haven't found a really good load with 143eldx's in my 6.5 PRC ...but it does shoot 156 EOL's with 58grs of Retumbo @2950fps into less than 1/2 MOA groups out to 600 yards fairly consistently.

I’ve had a couple of nice and expensive builds ,different calibers, but nothing come close to this cal/gun combo, well, except the cheap 6.5 CM I just sold.
If I can get 1/2 consistently,at 100 yards then I’ll move out.. lol
I think I may have found the gun/powder/bullet to do that.
Lol ,it was a long day ,sorry, 6 half’s is definitely 3 inches.1/2 moa at 600 yards is roughly a 3inch group not a 1.5 inch group.

Hey guys , I made a big mistake.
I recently picked up 2lbs of powder.
1 RL 26 and 1 RL25 .
I gave away 1 of the lbs, thinking it was the RL25.
I had the other lb on my bench,which I thought was the 26.
Well it turns out it was the 25 I kept and not the 26.
So disregard the above data.
Sorry, it was a stupid mistake.
I’ve edited what I can.
Sorry,it’s been a stressful couple of months.
Yup, glad it wasn’t the other way around.recoil is like a 270 Winchester
RL25 is slower burn rate than RL26, hence the drop in speed you encountered. Better than the alternative
I have Hornady #11 manual.
I’m sure the bottle said RL25… this time.Maybe they used the wrong powder
I have Hornady #11 manual.
55.5 grain RL25 = 3000 FPS 26 inch barrel
I’m getting 2626 out of a 22 inch barrel.
374 FPS less out of 4 inches of barrel seems like an excessive amount of lost FPS
