Looking for options with a 18in 6.5 PRC with 8 twist.
Currently using 147 ELD-M with Retumbo.
Getting a fairly compressed load at 57 grs. Went up to 58.4 with no pressure signs. But really have to crunch powder during seating.
57.2 grs is giving 2630 via shooting chrony. 58.4 gave an error so unsure of velocity.
Know I wont have a barn burner but thinking I could get some more speed.
Just found a lb of 4831SSC
Been keeping an eye out for H1000 and RL26.
Are there others powders I should consider?
Does the powder selection change if going to a 125-130gr copper bullet?
Also been using Fed210 for primers.
Thanks
