6-6.5 PRC

[A-Tip]

Hi all, I just joined the forum and have been looking for load data for my newly built 6-6.5 PRC. I also want to sell stuff in the classifieds, the rules stated that I should make a post and interact on here before they allow me to do so. I am usually just a guy that reads and creeps the forums to find what I need but I have a chassis I want to get rid of, so here I am making a post.

Let's start with my new build:
McMillan SA Game Hunter
Zermatt Arms Origin action
24" Stainless Schneider barrel with the P5 rifling
Triggertech Special Trigger
Hawkins Bottom Metal
Leupold VX5-HD 3-15X44 Windplex Reticle

If I missed anything let me know!

Looking forward to interacting, making posts, and learning lots from those that comment and talk to each other on here!

What bullets and powder are you interested in using? I've had three 6PRC's.

Im gonna start out using 108 ELD's with some H4831SC then i would like to try and experiment with either DTAC's or A-Tips

Maybe 26" barrel. Ring everything out of it

Everything is already set to go, im gonna have to leave it at 24. Do you have a starting point for this bullet and powder combo?

Welcome to long range hunting, from the piedmont of northeast georgia. Great to have you on board.

Sorry for the late reply! Yes I shot 108's with a CCI 200 and 53gr. H4831SC in Lapua brass. Start slightly lower of course.

Perfect! Even just a starting point is incredibly helpful, i'll be using ADG Brass. My local scheels had a sale on ADG 6.5 PRC brass not to long ago. $60 for 50 pieces

Nice!! ADG is good stuff! I'd load from 49-54gr. in 1gr. Increments to see the pressures in your specific gun. That spread should cover you

Thanks for the help! I cant wait to start loading for it! What are you doing with your necking down process. I ordered hornady match grade dies and a 269 bushing but they are not necking down in one step. I ordered a 285 bushing so i'll see how that helps me when i get it on monday.
