6.5PRC 20" barrel at 800 yards

[STK-300]

I was wondering if anyone has taken 6.5PRC 20" barrel out to 800 yards or more. What loads have you used and what speeds are you getting. I have defiance tenacity LA with a carbon 6 barrel that is very accurate but I have not stretched out that far yet. Look for load recommendations.

I can’t help with 6.5 PRC but I have a 6.5SAUM improved with a 21” barrel that I have shot to a mile with 144 Berger LRHT and H1000 powder.

I ended up on 57gr H1000 w 147gr ELD.

I could get more speed with N565 but the H1000 load was more precise.

Your velocity at 800yards will be around 1800fps.

I’ve taken mine to 725 which is the max of my home range. Used 140vld at 3000fps muzzle. I’ll have to check what powder I used, been a while since I loaded for it.

Please let know about powder. I do like high velocity loads. Thx
