What's your 6.5 PRC go to powder

[Josebd]

Threw some loads together with the us869 powder,don't know the velocity but not to bad at 100 yards,Hornady 143 eldx,1/2 inch group

 

[JAYgs8163]

H4831SC with the 144 Berger.

 

[Optimusprime]

N165 with lighter 130-135gr
N575 with the heavier bullets

I have some n165 and would like to reload some 124 hammer hunters, but load data is hard to find. Do you have a load that would work for such ?

H1000 topped with 153.5 and 156 Berger's, both bullets shoot the same out too 1,200 yards

It looks like lots of folks are using N565 with the 156. It's about the same burn speed as H1000 in my experience.

I get more velocity and less pressure with n565

Now that's cool.

Now that's cool.

Have plenty of bullets and brass hopefully H1000 and primers come around soon. Shot the 153.5 to a mile a few times. I'm a big fan of the 6.5's

58.6g H1000 / 156 Bergers / 210M / 1-8 twist 22' proof / 2915 MV

I shoot the 144's right at 3k with H4831SC out of 7.5 twist 22" Proof. I hunt with them also but I open the tips with a .65 wire bit and hand chuck. Change BC by .002 and they're dead on. Lethal on game also. Going to get some of the 153.5's and experiment.

My PRC prefers H1000 for accuracy. It gives me decent velocity. RETUMBO has given me decent accuracy but higher velocity. I've settled on H1000. 57.1 grains under the 147 and 57.6 under the 156. BR2s have worked best for accuracy and least ES. 24" bbl. 2897FPS with the 147 and 2889 with the 156.

Look at the hammer hunter data on this forum my data is there my load for the 124 is 58.3 grs N165 cci -250 26 in proof 3300 plus with some vel still on the table if you want too push it and 3450 plus with the 123 gr absolute with a compressed charge of 63 grs of N165 I think N560 will give even more vel but have not tried it yet good luck proceed with caution drop back and work up
