6.5 PRC 156 Berger Elite hunter load help

[JM151]

According to that I’m 2.4 grains over max with H4831sc. Seems like those numbers are in the don’t get sued category lol

Lol and I’m 3.5 over max. I’m going say they made a mistake. For the N565 there is absolutely no way you’re 102% full at 55.7

Maybe I should have included this ? From the email -


Please see the attachment for load data. The loads are all based on the COAL that is shown on this chart. Load data is conservative and was generated with QuickLoad.

A general rule of thumb with the Berger Elite Hunter and Hybrid Target bullets is to start your bullet seating depth testing at .015" off the lands. Then you work back into the cartridge case in .015" increments (.015",.030", .045", .060"). When you find a bullet seating depth that shows promise, you can test .005" to either side of that CBTO if you wish to see if accuracy can be improved. All bullet seating depth testing is done using the starting powder charge!

Warning!

So maybe based on COAL do those number sound right ?

I still question it….if Im over max by 3.5 and not compressed then I just don’t see how 55.7 is compressed at 2.955 and I’m at 3.1. If anybody has QL they could run the numbers real quick and see if their numbers are accurate with the different COAL.

I forgot to mention... Berger 153.5 bullets.
