6.5 PRC 135 Berger Loads? H1000, N560, N565?

[Huntnful]

Got a SAAMI chambered SA 6.5 PRC showing up soon. Smith recommended the 135 Bergers, but he hadn't shot the 135's with any of my exact components yet. Wondering if anyone has, and what your charges were?

I have H1000, N560, N565. And CCI 250's, Fed 215's & Fed 210 primers.

In peterson brass Fed 210m berger 135 classic hunters
22" benchmark barrel, saami throat aw2 reamer to clean up clickers.
Vv N565 57.0gr~ 3000 fps 2.950 coal
Vv n560 53.5gr ~3020 fps 2.950 coal

used 215M and the 210 seemed to pressure up slower so we used those. Neither of these loads were near max( -2 grains from any pressure signs) and certainly capable of more speed but these were precise, boringly accurate.This rifle has switch to 156 eol when the 135s ran out.

Awesome!! Thank you so much for the info!

Any differences in temperature swings or ES/SD between the 560 & 565?

 

[Andrew Massi]

Nope they're both temp stable- similar to h4831/ h1k for temp. I shot off the last 20 of these when it was 105, loaded at 55 and they picked up a whole 11 fps avg.
565 faired marginally better in es/sd but I imagine thats due to case fill.

Okay sweet! That makes sense about the case fill also.

What ever happened to the rest of the 6.5 PRC data on instagram? I remember seeing info for the 153.5 and the 135 but now it's only data for the 156.

Instagram is not a reliable place to "store" anything, I learned.

I run 135 a tips with 58 grains 560 and RL26. Prefer RL26 but 560 is very very close.

Do you have any H4831SC, if so I would try it or RL23 with that weight class of projo.

H4831SC is your friend here. Keep your eyes open for it as it comes available quite often.
