Load data for 6.5 prc

[Rocketeer77]

Anyone have some good loads in a 6.5 prc.
I'm planning on using n565

147gr ELD-M 3,000 fps using 59.5gr N565 Tikka T3X 24" barrel
We always FL resize our brass this seems a necessity with this calibre mostly Norma brass and Hornady. Frankly we think it's an overrated cartridge a 270 gives the same performance
This N565 works the best we found

What brand brass are you using. If I get much over 55.5 grs. RL26 with ADG brass I get pressure signs. I run 55.0 grs. At 2880 fps. Have lots of N565 and N570. Just loaded some 300 wm with some N565 loads. Just opened an 8 pounder of RL26. Last I have. It has my best loads in 300 wm, 6.5 PRC and 257 bee. Looking for an alternative.

I have been using ADG brass and Hornady factory brass. Ran it up to about 58.5 before pressure but did not see good results at the higher charges and 57 looked great. My preferred brass is ADG but tried both and didn't see a big difference.

Good luck on RL26 and RL23. I'm over it. 6mm or 6.5

My buddy's 300 prc loved rl-23 I don't know the exact speed I didn't have a chrono but it grouped amazingly with it. What are you meaning my 6mm or 6.5

7828ssc is a good choice (if you have or can find any)? 560 and 565 are 2 of the best for this cartridge and 7saum. the 150/160/165 series are another choice, but will have 75-100fps less velocity and are cooler burning.

You said you run 6.5 Staball in your 6mm. I just wondered what cartridge?

I tried RL26 but it was a little squirrelly above 85 degrees, so I stopped using it.

Exactly my take. I started getting pressure spikes in warm weather.
