You had some great results considering you were dealing with a hell of a lot of wind. Not surprising whenever you got a little bit of horizontal dispersion. Some really great testing here from a really great shooting rifle. Very impressive
Try going higher I’m using 59 and 215 mag primers with 156 bergers ADG brass no pressure yet I stopped there shot 1 hole in both my savage and browning rifles
I know you edit out unnecessary parts of the video such as working the bolt. Are you letting your barrel cool down after so many shots? I’m guessing you are not shooting all 50 loads with no down time?Agree the 57.9 grain charge looks very promising.
Im actually in the same process as you! Retumbo 55 to 58.3. 153 a tip im shooting this week 😊. Im thinking trying berger 156 eol next. Are you going to Try other bullet to?
Yes. It is not easy to get my hands on components, but when I see something on the shelf that I know I will use, I buy it. Over the years, I have compiled a decent inventory. I have noticed that things are becoming more available, but it seems to come in waves. Something new will show up, but when it is gone, it may be a long while before you see that particular component again. Be patient. Hopefully things improve.
Probably. But I am not going to spend hundreds on a rest. The higher end rests are ridiculous in price. I have ordered some chassis weights. I am curious to see what that does to help.
@@mattsreloadingbench it made a big difference for me shooting F-class and shooting off the bench. I put a doormat under it and it keeps it from bouncing around so much. I'd be copying what the guys who go for the utmost in accuracy if you want to shoot small groups and see what that rifle can really do.
Ok...so why the improvement? It was because you had a different seating depth? or it was because of different powder? What will be the outcome if you use the same seating depth you used on this video using the H1000? TIA.
You are absolutely correct. This was in the beginning of my loading for precision. I tried alot of different things and it took a while to hone my process to something more applicable to what I need. Everyone goes through a learning curve, and it just so happens that mine happened for everyone to see. Thanks for watching!
Overall, I feel that I should be able to get better results with this rifle. I am probably going to try a different bullet and see what I get. I have some matchkings on order.

It was a struggle
Good stuff, looking forward to the 500.
Thanks for watching!
I’m just impressed you got your hands on some retumbo haha
It came through my area about a year ago. I saw it in a few stores for a week and poof. No more.
@@mattsreloadingbench finally found powder, ANY POWDER, at my lgs the other day. Grabbed some h4350, h4831, and cfe223
And scored some 7828 on auction recently.
My dreams of obtaining and trying rl26 are exactly that, dreams
Berger 156 eol, 56.5 or 57 gr reloader 25. Shoots same hole out of 2 different 6.5 prc
That's awesome! I have had the same thing happen before with 2 different 6.5 Creedmoor rifles.

I will keep that in mind

Yes. I actually use a barrel cooling fan after every group
Dont worry about groups yet. Tune load for SD. Jump for groups.
How much does the rifle weigh?
I'll have to give that a try. Cheers!
It does not weigh enough. I am taking care of that. I have chassis weights on order.

I have some 150gr matchkings that I will be working with next.
@@mattsreloadingbench component are Hard to find in Canada. What about you ?

Testin same now…135s went in 1 hole with n560..
Do you think you could get better results with a good stable rest that doesn't jump around as much and allows your gun to return to the same spot?
Probably. But I am not going to spend hundreds on a rest. The higher end rests are ridiculous in price.
I have ordered some chassis weights. I am curious to see what that does to help.
@@mattsreloadingbench Do you think a wide bipod like an Sinclair F-class bipod would help?
@@reloadingfun possibly.

Those are all good questions. I will have to find out.
@@mattsreloadingbench there you go, more videos for you to add to your great channel. Keep up the good work and keep us posted, thanks. :)
@@maxcoatlhunter4322 funny that you say that. I am currently working on that video. LOL
@@mattsreloadingbench awesome!
You need to get a down range camera.
I have one now.
Moving up
In .1 increments is kind of a waste of time and components
