[0002s]

What's your pet load?

 

[CaptDru]

56.3 gr of H1000, 156 Berger seated @-.050, 210M primers, ADG brass. This load averages 2960 fps and .3 in groups 27" Bartlein

 

[Another Casual]

H1000 for hunting loads. IMR4831 for the occasional target loads since I have it on the bench and its not impossible to find.

58.7gr H1000, 140 gr Accubond, CCI#250 is giving me 3,060 with a 26" rock creek.

RL23. I have only loaded a few 6.5PRC, but have buddies that gave me info to start at. Bullets were 140, 144, and 153.5gr.

H1000 is the ticket.

 

[Quintus]

RL22 with 130 VLDs and TGKs. RL26 with 140 Accubonds and 155 Lapua Megas. All in the .3 to .5s with great velocity.

 

[Imperial Bull]

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

 

[Quintus]

24"

 

[Hard rock]

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

 

[Hard rock]

26 in barrel 124 gr hammer hunters 3300 fps

 

[BSchexnyder]

N565 running 3050 FPS. 26" Krieger 5R rifling.

One gun I loaded for loved H1000.
Another gun prefers SB6.5 and 7977.

 

[BrentM]

RL26 and N560. Preference is RL26. All shoot single digit SD and .5 moa or better. I have loads for 135, 140 vld and eld, 143 eldx, 142 ablr, 144 vld, 156 eol. 26 works well in all and I shoot from -10 to 90f.

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