6.5 prc N165 load data

[Buglebrush]

I found some VV N165, and decided to pick it up. I'm running low on H1000, and have been looking for some for a LONG time. I have 140 ELDM I would like to load with it for punching paper. Anyone have any load data they would share for the 6.5prc with n165? The vihtavuori posted loads are a little scarce.

Hey I know it’s been a while since this post, but I’m literally in the same bot right now. Low on H-1000 but have 7 pounds of N-165. Loading 143 ELDXs. Gordon’s Reloading Took shows suboptimal velocities at pressure.
What did you find out? Were you able to load some up?

If anyone’s curious, I loaded them up and the results were fantastic.
I started at 52gr. CCI-250, 2x Lapua brass, 40k off lands (which put me at 93% load density at my starting charge) and went up .3 grain increments 10 steps.
Charge weight/ Avg. velocity and SD (3 shots each)
52gr- 2899- SD 6.2
52.3- 2902- SD 7.3
52.6- 2912- SD 10
52.9- 2920- SD 7.2
53.5- 2929- SD 5
53.8- 2933- SD 3
54.1- 2932- SD 1.1
54.4- 2939- SD 2
54.7- 2940- SD 4.2

Never hit pressure. 9/10 single digit SD’s and I’m happy with the velocities.
