6.5prc powder choices

[ARlife4me]

VV560 seems interesting, but wondering for those who reload this cartridge use what powder with what bullets? I know the answers can be varying because of what the barrel likes best, but still which powder has been the most go too powder for this cartridge? Powder charge info isn't necessary, just which bullet with which powder works in your gun?

It would be nice to get and/or find 16, 23 and 26 or for that fact any other powder that's unobtanium in the last 4 years.

4831sc is a good one too that you can find.

I have that 1 and can find it.

I use n560. I used 124s and 140s, works great

RL26 and H1000 for me. Both shoot NAB 140 and 143 ELDX well at over 3000 fps.

 

[Varmint Hunter]

There's plenty of VV560 around so I'd start there with any of the 140 class bullets.

n565 works well with 140s also

 

[Mschroeder40]

Ramshot magnum works also great sd's and accuracy. I can push 147gr just over 3000 fps.

Retumbo has been the best for 140-147 in both Proof Steel Competition and CF barrels. Shoot Berger 153 with ReLoader 26 lights out.

 

[Gpkhill2]

RL26 and H1000 with 140s and heavier

I have 560. My go to is rl26. For me I use almost identical charges of both those powders with identical results. I have found it to be suitable in a wide range of temps as well.
