6.5 PRC go to powder

[Mtaylor]

My preference of powder for 6.5 PRC in order is:
1. n565
2. H4831sc
3. H1000

Good to know. With the 4831sc being faster burning than H1000, does that equate to faster velocity or just hits high pressure faster with less powder?

Anyone using RL 26 with good results? i know of one rokslider reporting good results with RL26.

I’m running 58gr of N565 under 147eldms

2880 out of a 22” barrel

I found the H4831 to be slower if loading according to book, but your also using less powder. I imagine that if you loaded 54.5grs side by side, H4831 would likely produce higher velocity.

In my 6.5prc with a 20" barrel, im getting 2768 w/ 54.5grs of H4831sc. Although 54.0grs gave me a. 2" group, at 54.5 im still at .5".

Still playing with it and still breaking in virgin brass.

That’s stacking them in there! What’s your rifle build for that?

It's a Seekins PH3.
