6.5 PRC Load Data using Staball HD

[Texas Speed Bump]

Just acquired a Sauer 100 in 6.5 PRC and, since I still can't find RL26, went ahead and bought some Staball HD. I'm looking for anyone willing to share any load data/experience they might have with this powder and caliber. I have a bunch of 120gr Nosler BTs left over from my 6.5-06 I'd like to use but am also interested in developing loads for the 143-7 ELDX. Thanks !

Hodgdon's site states 2.945" and HD from 53.5-60.1grs for 143edl-x

6.5-06 uses match instead of HD

6.5-06 with 143's is using StaBall

I'm not loading for the 6.5-06 anymore. I traded it back to the guy who built it 50 years ago in exchange for the PRC. I have several hundred rounds of the 120 Nosler BTs left over from loading for the 06 and would like to find a load in my new PRC that can use that light bullet.

Hodgdon shows a start load with StaBALL HD of 54.5g with a Barnes 120g. I am sure you could start in the same place with the BT's. It will be mild to start off and work up from.

Thanks.

My next task is trying to figure out which model Sauer 100 this rifle is. It has a digital camo pattern and OD green barrel but the camo pattern doesn't match anything Sauer shows on their website. This one has tan in the pattern and none of the models they show have that color. I have an inquiry submitted to Sauer.
