6.5prc Hornady 143 eldx with retumbo

Anybody reload for this combination?
going to reloading for my boss and he was wondering how this combination did as far as accuracy and speed?
 
I reload the 143s for my 6.5 SAUM. The PRC case is a little smaller but close. Retumbo was too bulky and slow. I got the best results so far with IMR 7828sc. I am going to try VN 568. VN570 and the 156 EOL shot amazing (but the 156 didnt open up). I am hoping the VN568 with the 143 is a comparable combination. If it is, it should be 100 fps above the 7828 load and get put me well 3200 fps.
 
Here is what I shot this morning 24 degrees,retumbo,3/8 group 100 yards
With nosler brass I think it was 2978fps
this is with Hornady brass
.020 from lands

CAUTION loading for someone else has a very high liability cost if something goes wrong! Based on an experiance i had loading for someone else DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!
