I'm waiting on my tube, planning to start with ADG, N565, 156 berger. What are you guys finding is best for the primers? I understand availability could be the issue, but leaving that aside.

I have only used federal 210m and 215m. the 215m works good

I’m gonna try some H1000. I was reading some guys say that while both primers work. Alot of guys were saying the 210’s were more accurate for them

My initial test with H1000 on my Tikka 6.5 PRC there was no difference in accuracy with primer swap, but I got almost 100fps faster with a magnum primer. I ended up sacrificing the velocity because the ES was significantly less with a CCI 200 on the new barrel.

I've since put 200 rounds through, and it's at the gunsmith getting cut down to can length, cleaned up with an AW2 reamer, and throated out for 147's. I'll be testing and comparing H1000 and N565 soon so I'll try to remember to report back with results.

Ok thanks. Yea I have a Tikka as well. Plan to shoot the 156 and maybe the 147’s. I have some magnum and large rifle. But probably want to use the ones that are most accurate

Yeah I was on the fence of H1000 and N565. Thanks
I am using N565 and 215m with good results. Still need to play with seating depth. I used N565 and 210m but results were better with 215M. I also have a medium action for my 6.5 prc custom built rifle.

Have any of you guys tried the Berger 144 LRHT? Curious how they have compared to the berger 156's? I might order some of them to try as welll. I'm not using them as hunting bullet, only for paper and steel.

I don’t have a PRC but I run the 144LRHT is a 6.5x47 Lapua and a 260AI and they are amazingly consistent with BC accuracy and consistency out to 1560 yards so far.
