6.5 PRC 156 Berger Elite hunter load help

Hornady 2x. I’ve been stumped.

Hornady brass could be the culprit. Try ADG, Lapua or Peterson. If you are running a magnum primer try a just a large rifle primer.

Hmmm, I have 9 lbs of RE25 , but I orded the H 1000 already . Oh well , can never have too much powder .

H1000 worked well for me. The 570 should get you more velocity but will be harder on your barrel. Probably not worth the trade off.
Hard to beat the temp stability of H1000.

I listened to you guys , picked up five lbs of H1000 and ADG brass from my LGS .
Can’t really do anything now, I’m waiting for surgery on my shooting shoulder.
Not sure what primer, 215 Feds or CCI 200 ?

Try the 200’s first.
215’s may pressure out early.
Good luck with the shoulder. I heard they’re the worst recovery.

Love the way mine shoots the h1000

My gun loved n570 and the 156 Berger. Right in that .30 mean radian with 20 shots. 2999.5 fps average.
I went .3 gr under max and seated to mag length.
Couldn't get enough speed with h1000 and retumbo shot horrible and slow.
