loaded up some 6.5 staball test loads with 88gr eld m's. most groups (5 shots) were not good-- around 1'' or slightly bigger, started at 31.0gr. When I got up to 32.2gr, however, things tightened up nicely.
at 32.2gr velocity was 2892fps with an SD of 7. 4 shots went into .393'', one slight flier. At 32.4gr velocity was 2930fps SD= 11. 4 shots went into .353'', again another slight flier.
no real overpressure signs on the brass. That's as high as I went. I'm pretty happy with that so far, more velocity than my CFE223 loads, and "I assume" less pressure, and less temperature sensitivity.
