Any loading experience with the 135 SBD 2 in the 6.5 PRC that you would be willing to share? Thanks in advance.

The best i can relate is , the 130gr Barnes TSX in my 6.5x06. 24" bbl, 1/8 twist . Using Rel 22, I get 3120fps, under 1/2" three shot group. For years I have been taking my elk with a 260 Rem. & the Barnes 120gr at 3039fps. Last season tried the Badlands 6.5, 125gr in my260 Rem, & took my elk at under 35yds. One shot, & down. Year before that I used the Hammer 121gr. They all work.
Sorry for picking this thread up late, but I just loaded my 6.5 PRC with a 24" proof barrel using once fired brass. Using the 135 SBD 2 over 57 gr of h1000 I was getting a 1/4" group. I didn't have more loaded to shoot multiple groups this happened to be the first load with the Badlands bullets.
