[QUOTE="central iowa couple, post: 2176346, member: 89193"] Hi guys, watching this thread closely. I have a Rem long action rifle in 6.5 prc I've been working on loads for. I also have various other rifles also in 6.5 prc (ruger and browning ). The Remington has the throat reamed out longer so the 140 accubonds are seated with the base of the bullet before the boattail is at the neck/shoulder junction. I didn't think this was a big deal when i bought it on this forum last year. Boy was i wrong. Lol. I've picked up a bunch of re26 and developed loads with the 156 berger. Amazing. Today my loads are 60 gr of re26, the 156 seated .040 of the lands for a cbto of 2.390. This loads is 3092 fps. I had it hotter at 3112 fps with no pressure signs but 60 grains is literally 1 hole. Didnt think i needed hotter when i looked at the ballistics at 1000 yds. Now if it was a bit lighter rifle I'd carry it for elk. Lol. The 6.5 prc is really amazing with the 156's. [/QUOTE]
