Just got my new 6.5 PRC loading 156 Berger EOL's and curious as to what velocities others are seeing the best accuracies at for this bullet? Thanks for any information
How much powder did it take to make that velocity? My gun has a 24" barrel and I loaded up to 58.3gr of H1000 but was only at 2880 fps, .020 off the lands. No pressure so I may try to slide up a little more.While I personally have not used that exact Bullet I was able to get good accuracy with the 153gr Berger's using H1000 at 2920 fps.
Nice velocity. That's my goal. I will loose velocity with my 26" barrel but the n570 will make up some ground for it. Luckily I put quite a few jugs back for some rifles. Also have a 28 nosler it will be powering. I'll try it in the prc after reading your results. Of course barrel life won't be long with that combo but I'd rather replace barrels lolMy 31" barrel is getting 3288 fps with 64 grains of Vihtavouri N570. It shoots great in my gun. Berger says maximum load is 64.1 grains. I really like this load, wish I could find a deal on N570.
