6.5 PRC deer bullets

[Stonyman88]

I think H1000 with reg LRPrimers should work well with the 131Hammer,s . My load was 57.3 grs with N165 with LR primers , my vel was 3180 with a 25 in Bartlien . N560 , Rl26 N165 RL23 may work a little better if you run out of powder space . I think N560 is going too work well in several bullet weights . Also the knurls are called drive bands , they are designed too give you less parabolic drag with a gain in velocity. Tha last ladder test I did was with the 109 gr absolute , the test was done with 7 shots with half grain increments . Out of seven shots 6 were under .75 with 3 of those in the same hole . You can't over spin them and they are very acc . I was shooting 500 yds this weekend and I was impressed.

Thanks so much for the info, might need to try them. How far off the lands are you ? Those babies are really moving, zoom zoom

I seat too the second drive band , .30 off the lands , but some are seating too the first drive band , they are not sensitive too jump. My throating is .145 the standard throat is .188 .

I've shot 7 red deer in the last year with my 6.5x284 and Berger 153.5 hybrids from 70m out to 550m. Performance was consistently great at all ranges so I'm very pleased so far.

When you say "second drive band," I presume you are talking about second from the back, since you are 0.300" off the lands. Correct?

Am I reading this incorrectly, your .300 of the lands, like almost 3/8 " ? or did you mean 0.0300 off.
