6.5-270AI and Reloader 25
Does anyone have any load info on 6.5-270 or 6.5-06 Ackley Improved using Reloader 25? I have been using Reloader 22 and wanted to try Re 25. I'm running 140 gn bullets.

I've never used RL25 but Loadtech gives the following range with a Nosler 140 56.6-62.9, 3280-3490 at a max of 65,000psi from a 26" barrel and 3.44"AOL.


As usual just my $.02

I've decided on 57.5 gns. I see no pressure signs. Accuracy is great. At 58 I started seeing light ejector marks on the brass. Primers started to flatten out at 59. Haven't ran anything through the chrono yet. Thanks for the info Ramrod.

If you give me your AOL and barrel length and specific bullet I'll rerun for you.

I got my free because I let them include my Wildcats in their data base. If I was buying I would look at Quickload. Major Issue I have with Loadtech is the program pulls what it feels is the best powders. Usually 30-50 options. But, it won't allow you to force it to use a specific powder. The velocity etc it calculates is very close to what I have seen from Chrono & pressure tests.

Ramrod, I'm using 140gn Matchkings or 140gn A-max. I'm not sure about the length, I use a Stoney Point comparator and have never measured the total OAL. Also it is a 26" barrel.

Thanks
