Has any one run QL for the 6.5-06 with the 129LRAB in 24" barrel?? Been searching but haven't found it.
 
Not yet, but if you provide the details I'm sure one of us can.

Just running SAAMI standards, the data looks like this:

Code:
Cartridge          : 6.5-06 A-Square
Bullet             : .264, 129, Nosler AccuBond LR 58943 G7
Useable Case Capaci: 61.634 grain H2O = 4.002 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 64000 psi, or 441 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

18 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Here is a result you can regard as "preliminary." Weighting factor was set at 0.44 since the cartridge is to some extent overbore. Pressure limited to 62366 psi (4300 bar). If you're considering powders at this point, you may find this useful. Powders yielding less than 3100 fps deleted from result.


Code:
Cartridge          : 6.5-06 A-Square
Bullet             : .264, 129, Nosler AccuBond LR 58943 G7
Useable Case Capaci: 61.636 grain H2O = 4.002 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 62366 psi, or 430 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 115 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
