Fed 210 match primers and the 6.5 PRC

[Iron Worker]

Out of my 26" 6.5PRC I was loading 59.5grs of Re#25 with Rem 9 1/2 LRP and getting bug holes and average velocity of 3,3030 pushing 140gr ELDs . Then started using Fed 210 Match primers behind 59grs of Re#25 and I averaged 100 FPS faster and same bug hole groups.Are fed primers the hottest primers out there ?

I think your chrono might be messed up. I never seen a 6.5prc push a 140 to 3300fps. Might want to check it.

My 6.5 prc with 143 eldx is pushing them at 3343fps. And my speed keeps going up as my barrel gets more broke in

Didn't know a 6.5prc is faster than a 26 Nosler.

Well, I have a labradar Chrono. It's pretty reliable. All of my drop charts using it's velocity are spot on. Shot my elk at 1344 with it's data with a 338 edge. Can't be too far off.

I've heard of diminishing returns but wow
Those speeds seem very high. I built a 26 nosler and it is just over 3300 with 140 abs

you are matching what I have seen in my PRC with RL-25, 143 and the 210s.
not sure why the rem 9 1/2 are only 3030.
anybody pushing 143s to 3350 in a PRC either has a real long barrel or a crony problem

Typo I don't know why I didn't catch that. IO meant 3,030 and with 210 Match primer it added 100 fps

Something isn't right here. Systems check needed

As far as barrel length, I am having a 6.5 PRC put together with a 29" Bartlein SS Heavy Palma 7.5 twist. When finished barrel should in around 27+.

Something is for sure off with my Chrono. Just shot over it again with 338 edge said 3656 with 300 berger! Something is way off. Thanks for the heads up.

I've seen it all now! Creeds hitting 3000+, PRC hitting 3300+, guess I should sell off the old .264 Wm lol!

I shot that load out of a 24 inch barrel (59 grain). Was getting 2900 fps. Just loaded up 30 with 59.5 grains to see what velocity I get, but even though it's slower then what I expected, the load is a shooter as you said. Shot a sub 2inch group at 600 with fed 210 primers, 59 gr rl25 with Berger 140s .01 off the lands.

If you have a labradar make sure the software is up to date. Makes a big differnwce
