[QUOTE="Tucker65, post: 3069394, member: 13818"] I've built quite a few 6.5 prc's and the best velocity was with RL-26. In a 24" 7.5 twist barrel I could push them 3000 fps which is where they seemed to like to shoot speed wise. When RL-26 became hard to get I switched to N565. Only about 25 fps slower in the few rifles I've used in in since switching but accuracy has been great and the powder has been readily available. [/QUOTE]
