Looking for any load info from those who have worked loads up in the 6.5 PRC with 127 LRX bullets. How have these bullets worked for you on game? I am looking to keep OAL at 2.865". Have those who have worked loads up gone above the maximum charges listed in the Barnes data? Seems their data is more conservative that other data with like weight bullets.

I pressured out at 3200fps, with rl26. I always go until I hit pressure. Start with book data and work up slow.
How was your OAL compared to the book? Can I ask where you hit pressure?

RL-26 57gr

That is a very accurate load on my rifle but the speed is not there. I'm running @3077 fps on a Tikka barrel.

I meant too state in case you can't find the 127 Barnes you might want too consider the Hammers they are available.
I have a few loaded up currently just waiting to go to range and chrono as well as look for pressure. Loaded them to 2.955" and Fed210 with 1/4 crimp with the lee fcd. We will see what comes of the hammers, not sure I've completely been sold on them.
I loaded .050 off the lands to start. I don't remember the powder charge, there is so much variation in barrels, brass and powder now. I know I was above book max
