Anybody have a load worked up for 140 nosler partitions in a 6.5 prc? I have H1000, retumbo, N160. 24" proof barrel with 1:7.5 twist.
Cheers!

Nosler, hodgdon, and the Hornady app have data for all but the N160 you listed. I haven't done partitions, but 140 accubonds over 58.7g H1000 gave me 3,080 FPS in a 26" without feeling like I was pushing the envelope.
 
I used MRP for one of my hunting loads:

48,0 of H1000 is way to LOW a load to start with ? 54 grs is a good starting point With 140-143 gr bullets . Work up from there . I like RL26 the BEST. for vel and accuracy in my rifle with a Benchmark barrel . JMO
