I loaded 5 with the 26.0 grs of Rel 7 and another 5 with 15.0 grs of 2400. That is one of the recommended loads the previous owner had good luck with.

Here's your pic.

Two new ones for me. I have only shot 158 grain in my 357s’. In looking for a lighter load for the Ruger, I figured why not the 125? I did 3 different levels of W296. Minimum was around 12. Max was 20+. Loaded 12, 15 and 20. That 20+ gives 2000+ FPS.

The other, my new passion, is 6.5 Grendel. I have loaded mid range to become familiar with the rifle. I’ve done my function shooting and am ready to get down to it. I expect these rounds to fly just over 2000 FPS. At max load, this 16” barrel will only get 2500 or so. Quite serviceable.

Will be out to shoot soon.

I wish you luck with the 296 downloaded. I have not ever had anything good come out of that when I have done it

PJM, is that a proven load of yours, or a test load?
I don't shoot a lot of 30-06, but I do have all the above ingredients.
