6.5 PRC what bullets we using?

[Glendon Mullins]

Gonna be reloading for my 6.4 PRC. What are roksliders fav bullets to use in the 6.5 PRC

Will be hunting mostly whitetail, with Mule Deer and Elk occasoinally when i can afford/have time to go out west.

Leaning towards Accubonds, but what about Hornady? or others?

What has been your experiences?

 

[designated marksman]

Hornady ELDM or ELDX

 

[S-3 ranch]

Hornady ELDM or ELDX

To mushy for that speed , I like something with a little stouter jacket
Accubond sounds good, ttsx , terminal accent

 

[omicron1792]

Terminal ascent was worst bullet I have tried in my 6.5prc. Penciled through.

 

[S-3 ranch]

Really? They shouldn’t at 1800fps unless you surpassed that benchmark

Nope. At short range.

I use tipped fusion now. Good mix of toughness and explosiveness.

156 Berger’s is what we are shooting out of the 6.5 prc

Good experiences with both 140 TGK and 143 ELD-X. Currently shooting the ELD-X as it was the first bullet I tried and the rifle stacks them. Honestly I would use whatever tipped cup & core your rifle shoots best.

Have been using the 143 eldx. 4 elk, pile of deer. No issues with 3000fps MV. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the 147 eldm as a replacement.

The hammer 125 HHT out of my buddies gun has been an absolute killer.

I posted a thread a while back where we tested several different bullets on animals. We have settled on the 156 Bergers. Absolutely love their accuracy and terminal performance. My buddies in wyoming are all shooting 147 ELDM with fantastic results as well on everything up to moose.

This is incorrect. 143 X and 147 M both reliably kill with good wounds and very low animal distance travelled after impact (averaging lower than all the bullets you listed).

 

[mxgsfmdpx]

Terminal ascent was worst bullet I have tried in my 6.5prc. Penciled through.

This is expected and normal behavior for TAs. Very narrow wounds.

Getting great accuracy with the 145gr TGK so that's what I've got loaded for this year.

 

[Backcast88]

140 TGK is my top pick. Or the 145 TGK if the rifle will shoot them.

140 ELD-M is also a great bullet.

 

[Quandary]

140 EH and 156 EOLs. Both have worked great for me.

 

[JGRaider]

An accubond is never a bad choice, the 130's in particular for my rifle. Best all around performer I've tried is the 139 Scenar.....it has no real weakness as it is supremely accurate, easy to load, kicks asss on game.

 

[Blake C]

140g accubond has been great for me from 20yds to 700. With that being said, I'm liking 156g berger the past year.

thanks for all the feedback people!!
