6.5 PRC Reloading

RL26 and Berger 140 Elite Hunters if you can find it

That’s what I’m hoping to run as well. Could you share your measurement to the lands? Wondering if long action is the way to go. Maybe if your willing throw In your over all cartridge length. Have been told it can’t be done in a short action build.

H4350, n555 will work for the 127s
H4831sc or n560 for the 140-150s

Ok. If I run across some I’ll pick some up and check it out. Haven’t used much VV powder. Temp stable?

VV powders are super consistent and very temp stable. Highly recommend.

I'm currently running RL-23 with a 143eldx 3010fps. Using cci br2 primers and adg brass.

Mine shoots H1000 just as accurate.

Everyone says H1000 is the way to go but I am seeing less than great results so far. Just picked up some 4831SC, N160, and some N555 to play with. Thanks for the recommendations.

N555 is probably going to be to fast, 565 or 568 would be better. Lot's of people run H4831sc successfully with 140 class bullets.

I’ll let everyone know how it goes. I’m gonna load up all three powders and see. I’m shooting 127-130 monolithic projectiles over the N555. I’m not gonna lie, if the PRC shoots N555, then that would allow me to one powder across 6 creed, 6.5 creed, and PRC with one powder. Allowing me to stockpile one. I appreciate all the input.

Yes please do. I am getting my dies I the next week and I already have pills from my 6.5 Creed. All I need is powder and some load recommendations. I have little brass to start playing with so I though I would get a jump on it.

What have you guys found to be the best factory offerings so far? The white box Hornady Match did decent but there has to be better out there. At this point I am needing to buy good factory ammo that shoots good and I can stock up on brass while shooting accurately.

 

[greg vess]

Here are some results I looked up and found in Shooting Mag. for reference. This should give us at least a decent starting point.

Well the N555 put down some impressive chrono numbers. Pushing the 130gr CX at just under 3100 FPS with single digit SD’s. No impressive groups to post though. May have play with it a bit more. N560 did really well with the same kind of chrono results but produced sub minute accuracy
