I am using Win760 in my "cheap" loads ($1.32 per shot) for the 6.5PRC, it isnt suited to the cartridge. Shooting 123 SSt and Lapua 123 scenars i'm only getting 2850-2900fps with 54.5grs, pressure signs at 55gr+ out of an 18" barrel.

The RL26 56.6gr are pushing 143ELD-X @2900-2930 fps 18" barrel.

Also if your worried about meat damage on the Fallow then shoot them in the head. Your 0.3moa load on a moderate day will still shoot them between the eyes at 200m. I call out "HEY" to the deer so they put their heads up and hold dead still, then you dont have to worry about them moving as you touch off. The last one i shot @370m couldnt hear me yelling at it to stop feeding, i had to wait for a peacock to get it on alert so i could take the shot.
