6.5 R-Bar down loads
This down load testing was to near duplicate or reduce factory energy levels of the 30-30; thinking of the performance of the 6.5 Carcano.
WinkThe cases were made from .243 Winchester brass,primers were WLR, bullet was the sp bt 139grain PRVI, OAL=2.950". 20 to 35 mph wind all day. All powder seemed to burn.
  • 42.2 grains H4831, mild but sooty , 2316 to 2359 fps. fair accuracy.
  • 32 grains XMR4064, mild some soot, 2144 to 2191 fps. deadly out to 200 yds.
  • 31 grains H4895, mild some soot, 2156 to 2178 fps. 5 shot 1.000" group at 50 yds.
  • 31 grains IMR 4895, mild some soot. 2148 to 2213 fps 5 shot 1.000" group at 50 yds.
    tu2It would appear that this down loading went well. clap roger
