I'm wanting to load up some 143 grain Hornady 143ELDX bullets in 6.5 PRC using N565 powder for my Son but can't find any loads with that particular powder in my reloading books? Any help would certainly be appreciated! Thank yall in advance!

Here is what I have used.

Lapua brass
Fed GM210M
N565 56.5-59.0
143 ELD-X
Thank you, did you get good results?
 
They shoot fine.

With ELDs, you will have to watch seating depths, as the bullets have some variance in the ogives.
 
I've never loaded the Hornady 143, but I have loaded 140 Bergers EH and 156 Berger EH. 140 shot good but nothing to write home about. 156 Bergers shoot amazing with N565. If you ever want to try another bullet, I recommend the 156s.

Haven't shot them yet but will let you know as soon as my Son shoots them. The reply on the 156 Bergers is spot on! I shoot an XBolt in the long range hunter using Lapua brass Win Primers with 54.0 grains of H-4831sc with those 156 Bergers moving at 2890fps and have not lost an animal with those ingredients, love em!
