6 PRC reloading

[Runolfson]

It’s listed on the data, RL26.

Missed it. Thanks for clarifying.

Anyone try Ramshot Grand?

In case anyone is looking for a barrel……listed 2x of them for 6PRC (lone peak fusion ti actions).

Speed is fun and they kill. He’s doing a 25 PRC for a tad larger bullet. Haven’t figured out what I’m doing for my lighter recoil magnum, so I spun my 7PRC barrel back on because I love recoil so much .

 

[Runolfson]

Have you reached out and if so what was their response ?

So, I sent the barrel back to PBB with a couple dummy rounds. I got it back last week. Put the rifle back together and the rounds the I had loaded to 2.850 COAL went in easy, bolt closed easy and cartridge extracted easy.

Took it out to the range yesterday and got the scope zero'd. Did a ladder with H1000 up to 58.5g, 3063fps. ADG virgin brass, Fed 210. No pressure signs.

I'm going to load up a few more rounds to see where pressure is at and then start playing with seating depth to find the most accurate load. I also want to load up N565 to see how it likes it. Results with H1000 look promising.

Received my barrel a couple weeks ago. 21” PBB with their standard chamber, .140fb.
Loaded N565 55-60 in half grain increments, 115 dtac. Topped out at 3216 with slightly flat primer but no heavy by lift or hard extraction. Will load 10 at 60 and see how it shoots. May back down to 59.5.
Load another test string of 108eldm and possibly 85tsx as well

Anyone have data how on a 6cm with 115s compares? I know it will be slower, just wonder how much

if I could find a smaller batch of 115's I could. I have a 24" CM and 20in PRC. I have 110 Atips coming in as we speak. maybe Ill drink enough and buy 115's and compare and minus 100 fps for the length difference and call it close enough. I suspect the PRC will be faster by about 150-200 fps still

I would like to know your Base to Ogive measurement and you said 108 ELDM?

Rl26 was the clear cut winner with mine. 19” Carbon six, .150 freebore reamer. H1000 and N565 topped out about 50 fps slower. Best accuracy was with RL26 also. And yes I know it’s not zeroed I put a bigger scope on for load development that I switched out when it was done.

Did Carbon 6 have the reamer? Or rent? Or?
Curious which reamer got used. Thx.

It was just a blank from them. It’s my reamer, Misery custom chambered it. If you want the print I can send it.

Id be interested in seeing the print, thanks.. Who made the reamer for you?

It’s a JGS. Pm me your email and I’ll shoot it over. I would rent it also if you need one.

I jammed mine and back it off, roughly trying to figure out if I had an issue or not and mine is 2.338 and I do not think its jammed in. I really need to make a modifed case lolol much easier with those. imo

I think wild the chamber looked rough potentially, there isn't any actual issue.

Curious to what others B2O measurements are and their FB and how much Jump they have with 108's.

love to see this. I have the same setup minus an inch, but am looking at running something between a 105 berger/08 eld/109 LRHT or 110 atip... glad you are getting some speed with the 115.

 

[MooseHunt]

Just got my 6prc barrel and working some loads. All I have in the ballpark right now is H4350 so gonna try but don't expect great results for speed before pressure as it's a little fast burning. If you guys were getting just one more powder; N565 or N570?

17.5" barrel and gonna shoot 109eldms

 

[Schmo]

Finally got my dies and bullets. Got some loaded up. Should be able to sneak out to shoot a week from tomorrow. 112 Match Burner over Ramshot Grand and N565. Barrel is 18” 7.5 twist stainless from PBB. Really anxious to see how it shoots! Will be running an A-10 can on it.

 

[Runolfson]

Has anybody tried N165?
