6.5prc powder choices

RL26 with 156's

Same for me… RL26 also works great w 147 ELD Match as well.

H4831SC, N560, N565, RL23, H1000 for me.
H4831SC, N560 & RL23 for up to a 140/143.
RL23, H1000 or N565 for 140+.
I have tested all these plus N570 & Retumbo. Couldn't get enough in the case to find pressure in a SA.
I shy away from RL26 here in AZ, unless it is strictly a late season rifle.

Lance, have you tried StaBall HD yet in anything 6.5 PRC? Or anybody else? I recently got an 8lber and am trying it in 7PRC but going to try it in a few others this next month (300 PRC and 25 SST first)

I have not.

I didn't think 6.5Stabal would work as being capacity challenged?

4831SC with the 127 LRX has been a tremendous standout for me. Extremely easy to work with, 24" Tikka SV - 54gr is right at 3K, 0.6 grain under Barnes max so still some room, single digit SDs, one ragged hole every time at 100 yds. There are definitely better options for the heavier 140+, but I'm exclusively a hunter (self-imposed 300 and in) and the LRX has never failed me. For stretching its legs at higher weight classes I'd look elsewhere.

I have similar results with 58gr of H-1000 and 144gr Berger long range hybrids.
