6.5 PRC 140 ELD loads

[lee264]

I will be getting my rifle back from the gunsmith tomorrow. ScoreHighGunsmithing Blueprinted 700,26 inch Brux 1-7.5 twist sendero contour barrel sitting in a Grayboe Phoenix. I have 4lbs of H1000 and 4lbs of RL26, fed210s, 215s, CCI 200s and 250s. I also have around 500-600 140 ELD-M's. Just looking for some starting loads or loads that have worked good for you. Thanks

The 140 ELDM in particular is not listed, but as long as you start low and work up - the 143 ELDX data should be a good place to begin:

I use 57.6 grains of H1000 for my 143 grain ELDX loads. I have referred that load to friends and it seems to work well with other rifles too. Starts at sub MOA and with some work on COAL it shoots one-hole groups for us.

Sweet spot for me was 57.5 gr H1000 with .5 moa results, but 57 gr>1 moa and 58 gr. >2 moa. Best results from 60 gr. of Ramshot Magnum <.3 moa. 2963 mv from 26" Proof CF barrel.
