6.5 PRC powder

[Shortmag11]

I have a load with the 143 Bondstrike and N565. Lapua brass. Fed 210M primers.
58.7gr 3004 avg
59.0gr 3028 avg
59.3gr 3048 avg
All shoot well under MOA, 58.7 gave me a .236 MOA.

Sold all of my N565 when I "got out of the PRC game". 1 year later I'm back in the game and can't find any anywhere. Not in a huge need of it right now as I do still have about 2lbs of H1000 and 4lbs of RL-26 but that stash is feeding 3 rifles right now so it won't last too long.

Midway and precision reloading had it last week so it's making the rounds.

I have had great luck with US 869 with 147 and 156 grain bullets.

What barrel length and what velocity are you seeing with US 869? Thanks

Got a notice from Grafs this week that they had N565 in stock. Must have clicked the "notify me when its in stock" button 2+ years ago.

Uncle Larry had kegs this week too.

That's basically free.

57.6 gr R26 got me 2955 fps with 156 EOL. Tikka with 24” barrel. Range day Friday for seating depth test.

Nice group! My LGS has a good supply of 4831SC. Do you know velocity? I’ve gotten tight groups with 58.6 H1000 at 3050 FPS 143 ELD-X.

I didn't have the chronograph setup but will next week. H1000 was the 2nd best with .71 using 57.5 which was the high load I used so I might go up to 58.5 and see what happens. I'll let you know the groups of H1000 and the velocity of both.

Hello All,

I am starting to get in the game for PRC as well. I am looking at getting a Christensen Arms Mesa FFT in a 6.5 PRC with a 20" Barrel.

I am looking at either reloading with the Nosler 120 Gr E-tips or 127 Gr LRX. Looking for the best powder to be able to achive at lease 3,000fps.

Guess I have to start checking in here. Have a new 20" Barrel PRC that I'm getting ready to start load dev for.

Plenty of H1000 on hand which sounds like a good thing, a little less RL26 after that, and have plenty of Berger 140 Hybrid followed by 500 of the 147 ELD-M on the way. If I can find or trade for a bunch of 156 EOL (Anyone need Berger 215's?) I'll be golden.

For those of you using Lapua Brass, how are you liking it? Love it in other calibers, hoping it's the same for the PRC because I have a bunch!

The lapua prc brass is great. I prefer it over adg and peterson. For its capacity, hard case head, tight primer pockets and price

Awesome. Exactly what I wanted to hear... Especially with how much it costs, although I guess everything is expensive these days.

will H4350 or Winchester Staball Powder work for me to get around 3,000fps?
