All I can find is forms for loading the 156 in 6.5prc. Has anyone found Berger load data for this?

Thread 'Guidelines for Posting in the Correct Forums'

Lately it has come to the attention of several moderators on here that the posting of threads in the "General Forum" which are not suitable for the "General Forum" and are more suitable for the other forums such as "Elk Hunting", "Mule Deer", "Clothing", or "Gear" forums (for example) are becoming increased and the moderators and owners of the site are spending more time moving threads to their proper forum than working on our awesome reviews and being able to police the entire forum.

PLEASE, if you are contemplating posting in the General Forum, and the title of your thread or the body...

What bullet? There's a few threads here for the 156

This will get you started. I’ll dig for another that shows vihtavouri data. When in doubt, email Berger.

Ha I meant to say what powder.

 

[waspocrew]

Here's some more that includes Vihta powders like N565 (which is very popular here). Just work up as some said the data was a little spicy.

This list has different min/max loads for the same powders from the 1st list. Is this from Berger? Thank you again.

Correct, data is from Berger. Look in the top right and you'll see a date (2019 and 2022). I'd use the 2022 version, but they don't include Vihta info on the 2022 (hence posting the 2019).

Yea one of their lists (older) had 60 grains of H1000 as the max. This new list has it as 56 grains

I've been digging around the web trying to work up a load with H1000 and 156 Bergers. I have found 3 different versions of this chart online, supposedly from Berger. The older one with 60.4 gr max. (seems way high to me), the newer one with 56.1 gr max, and the newest version has 58.4 grains.

Yea I think 60 is way too high. Personally I’m shooting 58 grains of H1000.

57.6 gr R26 is the bee’s knees for my brother’s Tikka. 2934 fps is no joke.

Below is the rest of the 2022 156 load data from Berger:

Berger data has always been all over the damn place. Had max listed loads below my starting loads and different data with starting loads that are overpressure from them.

Agreed!! The chart posted above by sveltri shows Magnum with a max of 56.6. Other charts go up to 61 grains! Crazy discrepancy.

Heaven help the simps who think book data is the bible and use Berger data.

Oh, how I wish I had 10 lbs of that stuff!!

Have to say that 57.1gr of N565 has been great seated at .020" in my Berger 3B barrel 1 in 8 at 24". 2936fps and single digit SD and ES to go along with less than .25" groups. Last 5 shot was .189" Very forgiving node between 57 -57.5 , but 57.1 groups best
