H4831SC in 6.5 PRC...anyone else??

fastnflat1,
Let us know how testing goes with other powders.
I just bought a new 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro and will be reloading by September. I'll need your input. But my 24" barrel has a 1:7 twist for the heavier bullets so you and I may have very different results with similar loads.

Try n565 with 156 gr Berger at 57.5-58.5. , with ADG brass, you can get 3045 FPS.
Happy reloading,
Tom

8133 was better than one

I just loaded up some test loads of 156gr berger with N560, and imr 8133. But the imr 8133 really fills up the case to where they are compressed unlike the N560 so I'm curious to see what will shoot better.

I tried IMR 8133 in 6.5 PRC and 300 RUM with fair results . Retumbo better .

To what OAL? I loaded to the max length that will fit in my mag at 2.965 inches.

I would pump it down to 2.950-2.955, you don't want it near the land.

Well.. that bullet does not touch the lands in my rifle until an oal about 3.05, so could actually load it longer than what I'm doing but would have to singe feed it.

Sounds good my friend
