6.5 PRC go to powder

[northernalpine]

Echo what has already been said here. H1000 and N565 are pretty standard performers, probably within 10-30fps of each other and relative accuracy depending on what your barrel favors.

N565
143gr and below, usually better results (for me)

H1000
143gr and above, usually better results (for me)

Tried H4831sc, StaBall HD, N568, N570 with varying degrees of success across a few different rifles and bullet weights.

Primers can make a difference as well, I’ve had slightly better velocity/accuracy in my last three builds with 215’s (magnum) vs 210’s (large rifle).

Example:

I just started load work up in tikka chopped to 22” and throated for 147s. At 58.5gr of RL26 I have 2950fps avg and sub 1/2 moa. I only loaded 5 at the time so I need to get back out and shoot again with this combo. I did get over 3000fps and almost as good of group with either 59 or 59.5gr I had stopped there and hadn’t hit pressure yet. Gonna find pressure next range session.

That’s doing pretty good!!

I use h1000 and 4831sc in my 6.5prc it’s a 24” barrel

4831sc-156 Berger 2975
H1000- 125 Hammer HHT- 3170

How many grains for the 156 B? That is a lot of speed there
