With any copper bullet in the 6.5-7mm caliber I have found that load date (pressure wise) reflects a traditional cup/core bullet 10-13gs heavier.
So I would use 140-143g eldm/eldx data and start LOW.
Do bullet seating groups first with copper bullets like the LRX/TSX/TTSX and then powder/velocity groups 2nd.
START LRX .050" off the lands and work back to .250 in .025" increments.
I shoot the TSX .058" off the lands in my gun and the LRX with an identical CBTO.

My 6.5 PRC is shooting the 127 LRX at 3167 Average velocity with the load that gave me the best accuracy. I'm using IMR4831 and 53.2gr of it…
I constructed this load as a secondary load for use on lands that require lead free. 3/4" groups at 100 yards! Very happy with it. My boys and I have killed a lot of deer and elk with the 127 LRX in both Creedmoor and PRC.
Most of the time I use the 143 eldx in my PRC because of the better BC. But I wouldn't hesitate to use either out to 650. Maybe a bit further…
