Ok, my first batch of 6.5 PRC hammer 124 grainers

[AGGRO]

Laddered from 53 grains of RL 26 ended with 56. No pressure signs at 56 grains. Last shot at 100 yards was drill. I'll stick with this for now. Savage 110 24 barrel Hornady brass, win mag primers, hammer 124 hunters. Love this gun and this round is amazing. Slight lift on the bolt but no primer bulge so good to go.

Should be pretty mild. We normally load with mag primers but found out that it causes premature pressure signs in the prc. We just loaded one last weekend with standard lr primers and got to 3470 fps. 300 fps more than what had seen before with mag primers.

Steve,

What was the load you used to achieve that velocity? It's rather impressive.

Wow. I may have to ditch the Rl 23 and give some N570 a go with my 6.5x284.

 

[Zen Archery]

Great results keep us posted.

Was with Bertram brass, wlr primer, and 62g n560. Top end and should be backed down 10%.

By chance did you ever test the N570 in the 6.5 PRC with the 124 HH? I was toying around with the same thoughts and would be interested in your experience.

We have done well with n560. N565 could not get enough in the case. I am guessing the same capacity issue with n570.

No Sir! Do not have a 6.5 PRC.

Just used in 6.5x284 and 6.5 saum.

I believe the PRC and the 284 case are similar capacity.
