I’m getting 3728 fps with the 109 gr Hammer absolute , 3450 fps with the 123 gr Hammer absolute 3300 plus with the 124 gr Hammer and 3200 fps with the 131 gr Hammer using Vithivouri N165 and N560 the 560 seems too be a better choice of the 2 my next load work up will be N560 on all bullets mentioned I expect 3450 fps out of the 124 gr and 3500 from the 123 gr . The 6.5 PRC is hard too beat in the 6.5 cal and very easy too load for . My mag length is 2.980 most of my loads or 2.950 and under , My free bore is .145 instead of . 188 using a Bartlein 1-7.5 twist and a Proof 1-8 twist 26 in barrel.
