18” Barrel 6.5 Prc Which Powder

[SO I HUNT]

Berger 135 hunter bullets or 143 ELDX? I have some 140's to but hoping to run the 135's.
powders I have reloaded 26, H1000, 7828 ssc and retumbo. Also would you use magnum primers?

The 135 Bergers shoot tiny groups in my 26" Browning with 47.0gr RE26. Berger lists hotter loads with RE26 if top velocity is important.

I love H1000 in my 26" but with a barrel that short I'm not sure you'd get the most out of it. If my 16.5" 6.5 creedmoor is any indication, I'd wear ear plugs and muffs.

Try H4350, had a 20" PRC and it liked 135's and H4350 with Fed. 210m

This is suppressed 6.5 PRC @ 18" long on the barrel.

My barrel is longer but I tried Norma MRP and got.30 MOA, with H1000 I was getting.9 MOA. Now I just ha e to locate some more MRP

This is suppressed 6.5 PRC @ 18" long on the barrel.

I shot my 6.5 PRC suppressed as well with a 20" barrel, and H4350 worked well

Where are you getting H4350 load data? I've been shooting my PRC less with H1000 being hard to find, but I'm sitting on a fair amount of H4350 and IMR4451, I thought they'd be too fast for the PRC. Hodgdon and Hornady both have limited powders listed.

 

[Muley Madness]

I don't remember the specific load or where I got it, but with a 147 ELD M I was getting @ 2850fps and a little faster with the 135's if I remember correctly, and they would shoot in the .3's
I bet if you googled it you could find some data on it
