Just had a 6.5 prc built for nrl hunter and target rifle to 1500 yards .

This will be my first time reloading

So i was wondering what bullets to try i want to stay in the 140 to feed from a short action

So far i have

Adg brass

Cci br 2 or fed 210 for primer

Rl-26 h1000 or n560 for powder

Thanks
 
Berger 140 Target Hybrid, 144 LRHT, 135 Classic Hunter
Hornady 140 ELDm, 147 ELDm, 135 ATip
Sierra 142 SMK
 
The PRC is essentially the same as my 6.5 SS. I'm running a Berger 156 at 2990 FPS. Been deadly so far. 8 shots and 8 dead animals. Stay off of the shoulder in closer ranges..... Several other good bullets.
 
ADG brass, fed 215M, N565 and Berger 140 hybrids produce 10 round groups like this in my PRC.
2950ish
22” benchmark barrel

What gun and are you loading mag lenght? Thanks
Tikka 6.5 PRC, I had it throated so it's ~.050" off the lands with bottom edge of bearing surface is seated to neck/shoulder junction. But in the factory chamber with a shorter throat I just loaded .030" off the lands and it shot fine there too.
