Today while at a gun show a guy that claims to be sponsored by Sig for optical, Federal and has a precision build shop around Savannah said that he loads his 6.5 CM around 2900 ft/sec. I questioned him about that and he still claims that the 6.5 in anything between 140 to 147 grn is nowhere close to max potential unless you are at 2900+ ft/sec.
Got home and none of my manual show anything close to that velocity. Most loads with that weight bullet are around 2550 to 2650 ft/sec. There is no way that I am going to load over max that my manuals show.
What velocity are you loading a 140 grn bullet?
