Pretty serious bullet from my view.

I’d bet H1000 will sing with that combo. I’ve been working with my 7 WSM and 180’s the past few days and H1000 seems to be good for 2900-2950 with them. I’d think with the 168’s you’ll be up over 3000 pretty safely with your bigger case. I just remembered I have a box of 168 ABLRs I may need...

Pretty cool Fotis. My brother is still using Retumbo for around 3400 with the 127 LRXs. He doesn’t know it could go faster :)

The 7-6.5PRCW is the darling of F-Class fellas I hear. Makes sense as it is really a shorter action'ed 280/280 AI class cartridge.

Takes but one shot over the chrono to tell you where you are at.

Start the ABLR .050” off the lands to start. I then do my powder work. If after that, accuracy isn’t exactly what I want, I keep moving back in .025” increments. Tune as necessary. I’m sure there are other ways but that has worked well for me.

Get some ADG if you can find it. Treat yourself 😀

That’s quite a spread. I’d not tolerate it myself. Mixing them with 28 Nosler loads could be disastrous in my opinion. Cull out the ones you have the least of and start there would be my opinion and what I’ve done a few times. It’s ashame to toss them but I like my nose, eyes, fingers, etc.

I’ve had a few run ins with the same thing with Nosler brass. When I first got my 264 WM I’d gotten a few boxes of Nosler ammo. Well as time went on I’d gotten a bunch of 264 Nosler brass as well. Well eventually the different lots got mixed together. Me not knowing any better developed some...

For sure. I see it all the time. One of the ones Nosler publishes is around 59 grains of H4831 with a 270 Win and 130. They show that as a 3100+ load and I haven’t as of yet ran across any rifle that’ll get more than about 2900-2950 with the load. Not a big deal as deer and elk will still...

Does seem like something is out of wack. For 3” groups with that variety of ammo I’d be wary myself. Any torque on the action now that you’ve cleaned up the factory bedding? I’d pull a book load with H4350 and get the 212’s in as close as you can to the lands and see what happens as a test...

What mounts and scope on the rifle? Bedding been done? Reason I ask is if it isn’t shooting factory ammo at least decently I’d wanna address that before spending a lot of time developing loads for it.

Nice shooting. Those little 6mms are a lot of fun.

Those look great. Cool old box.

Great score on that rifle and also just an excellent cartridge. Congrats. Sako makes great rifles.
