I found the searing depth it likes and speeds nudged up to an average of 3310 for 6 shots. Temps are little warmer today about 83 when I was shooting. Was getting some heavy bolt lift now may have to back it off another .5 grn

I've used N560 with 125 gr mono's in the 6.5 PRC with great results. 56-59 gr usually works pretty well.

The badlands I've used in the past usually tune around .025-.030" off or around .075-.080" off the lands.

Is that the best powder you found that works for the 125 in 6.5 prc?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when I emailed badlands today to inform them their website was down and redirecting to godaddy, I received a reply that George (aka NRALIFER) has passed away and that Badlands Precision will be closing their doors. I don't have any additional details as I'm just a regular customer. Maybe send them an email expressing your condolences so George's wife Shirley can see how many people appreciated his bullets and all the information and discourse he put in this thread to help people using these bullets.

I posted on GD about his passing a few days ago.

Sorry, I missed that. Figured this would be a good place where people using the bullets would see it. I hope that someone is willing to purchase whatever patents or other IP George had and can start making a similar bullet. They just seem so far ahead of the curve that it would be a shame to let monos sit and languish as the comparably low bc option they are now when Badlands showed they could instead be well ahead of lead with the right design.
