What's your 6.5 PRC go to powder

Caveat: I'm going to start lower, BUT does a 26" create more pressure or require less pressure?

Less powder - sorry watchin the Titans

A longer barrel won't build more pressure because it's longer but it will gain more velocity than if it was shorter. A longer barrel will maintain pressure ( but not necessarily more pressure) for a longer duration than a shorter barrel just because the bullet is in the barrel for a longer period of time than in a shorter barrel. Different powders will dictate how much more velocity you will get with a longer barrel.

Be curious to hear everyone's barrel length as well?

Thanks DJ!

Did you have to lighten your load because of the thickness of the ADG brass? I've got Hornady brass now with ADG on the way.

No as I ran my string to find my nodes in ADG brass, but if switching brass I would recommend starting at least 2grs lower or just run a string with the new brass

26" Buuuuuut still waiting to shoot it

 

[mmacfive]

My 24 is slightly faster than my 26

Has anyone worked a load using Berger 144 gr with H1000 or H4831sc I am more interested in accuracy than velocity

You might be surprised what vitivouri n165 might do burn rate is close to r23

MRP 52.6 gr pushing VLD-X 143 gr bullets at 2839 fps, gives me SD of 4.2 and ES of 9 for 10 rounds.
0.75" MOA at 400 yds.

Mind sharing your load info for n165 ? I am going to be shooting 124 gr. hammer hunters.

N560 first snd if it doesn't like it then every rifle likes RL26

Pixie dust, Reloader 26, hardest stuff to find
