My son and I spent some time in the reloading room working on a solid load for his Ruger 6.5PRC. I think we have found the load. Using once fired Hornady brass, hodgdon H1000 powder at 57.4gr, Hornady 147gr ELD Match leads and CCI 200 primers. We used the RCBS full length sizer just to push...

Ok perfect, I figured I could leave the depriming pin/expander out and the neck bushing and just bump the shoulders and FL size. Good deal. Thanks again

Question, and I know I should search for the answer. But I like my Redding Neck sizer for the 6.5 PRC. But I want to push my shoulders back just a touch. So my wife can close the action without needing a cheater pipe. So the question is can I use the RCBS full length bushing resizing die...

Again I’m a rookie here.

I don’t have solid numbers. But I believe I’m nearLY .080” off the lands when set to 2.9545” OAL.

What’s your OAL with the Hornady 147’s. Just curious. Also I loaded up some H1000 with 57 grains and also getting 2975 averages. But I pushed it up to 60.5 and touching 3150 averages. I’m thinking I need to back that down. Although I see zero pressure signs at this charge. 26” barrel...

I did some weight checking and I did see some differences, I think a true volume test is the best way to go But I felt I was splitting hairs worrying about volume or weight of brass. I wouldn't think a 47fps ES would be found with brass weight. Again I'm a newbie. So I definitely could be wrong.

Definitely weighted up. Good information. Ill give it a try with just bags

Started working on a load for my wifes, Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target 6.5 PRC Model 47189. Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 We did shoot a few boxes of the factory 143 ELDs with ok results, but looking to get the ES down and get it a bit tighter. So take it easy on me but we are learning the ropes...

great information from everyone. The little bit of reading I have done I see a trend to use lower magnification when shooting without a rest, to shooting off bags, to shooting from a led-sled arrangement. What I am feeling myself is if I have a darn solid rest, Led-sled, I can crank up the...

So what is the general opinions on scope magnification vs yardage when shooting. example. 100 yards you like 6x 100-500 6-8x 500-1000 10-12x etc these are just examples. Trying to figure out what people like the best and have the best results with. I have found I can keep the...
