6mm/6.5 PRC Load Recommendations

[mullmann03]

Both H1000 and H4831SC work well. Just don't expect a close to maximum load at 60 degrees to be good at +90. Gonna get some clickers and possibly out of a good node a bit.
FWIW, Just using Whidden 6.5 PRC bushing dies.

My 25prc loads are both in the 57 and 57.5 range

My barrel should be here Saturday so hopefully Sunday I can go test some loads.

They were thinking about starting on mine a week or so ago and ran into an issue with what I ordered. Got on the phone and got it clarified without missing a beat. No eta, though. I didn't ask.

I loaded up 58,58.5 and 59gr of N565 and 57,57.5 and 58gr of H1000 to test. I am running 58gr of N565 and 57gr of H1000 in my 25PRC with 135 Bergers.

I'm going to go a bit slower. My 6.5 PRC did VERY well with Magnum, so I see no reason N568, LRT, and StaBall HD shouldn't work equally as well in the 6mm version. Only issue is I'm limited to a 24" barrel, so I may wind up using Grand or MagPro and compromise a bit.

FWIW, H4831SC may be the best choice of burn rates for the 24" barrel, however. I still have some MRP to throw in, also.
