[NZTahr]

I use n560 with the 124 hammer absolute at 3450fps

Barrel length?

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

Retumbo works well for me. 57.6 g runs 3K fps w tight groups in my Ridgeline.. problem is I can't find any. Any help out there??

H1000 with the 127LRX very accurate in a 24" 8 twist Shilen

N560 with 156. Great accuracy, consistency and running at 2930 fps.

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?

I'm using VN565 with 143 eldx & 147 eldm
WLR primers and Lapua brass with a Christensen Ridgeline and pretty much get
0.750". 10 shot groups consistently with both, but seems to like the 143 better

On paper staball hd looks ideal for simi heavy to heavy with a longer barrel. I started a post to see if anyone had results to share but got zip. I have some on the way and by the data iv'e seen it looks idel for the 6.5 prc. Good case fill, good burn rate, good/low pressures. It looks like a winner for my longer barrel prc's. I should have it soon

Try Vihtavuori VN165- available, little bit slower than H4831.

VN 565 powder Winchester, large rifle primers, Lapua brass. 15 shot MOA
143 gr eldx

VV 555 for 140 class bullets
VV 565 for 150 class bullets
VV560 works well for both bullet weights

H4831SC, N560, N565, RL23, H1000 for me.
H4831SC, N560 & RL23 for up to a 140/143.
RL23, H1000 or N565 for 140+.
I have tested all these plus N570 & Retumbo. Couldn't get enough in the case to find pressure in a SA.
I shy away from RL26 here in AZ, unless it is strictly a late season rifle.
