[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1964341, member: 53101"] I have some hornady brass and CCI 200 primers on hand and looking to load up some 156 Bergers with H4831. Does anyone have any experience loading 156 EOL with H4831 in 6.5 PRC? Trying to figure out a safe starting load to work up from. This is for a Ruger American first time doing 6.5 PRC and first reloads for this rifle. I expect to be around 3" OAL with about a .06" jump to lands. I am guessing about a 51gr load to start going up to 53gr for initial testing..... Does this seem high for starting development? I am expecting no more then 2850 fps out of the 24" barrel and will figure I am at max if I see that (with no pressure signs). Would be great if anyone has published data to go off of. All I got is Honady's 147 ELD-M data that shows 54.5grs @ 3000 fps out of a 26" barrel and 2.95" OAL [/QUOTE]
