I just got my first 6.5 PRC. Picked up some 156gr Berger EOL bullets. What powder do you like?
RL26 was giving me about .6MOA groups out to 600 while h1000 was giving me .3MOA.
Honestly either works for my needs since I only hunt to 500. I decided to try and work with rl26 more to save the remaining h1000 I have for my 28nosler. If I can get the rl26 down to .5moa ill call it good. I have not done extensive testing with it yet. Just a simple ladder. I haven't tried different primers or much in the way of seating depth.Did you decide to take the extra 75fps or the extra 0.3 MOA? At 0.5MOA difference I think it's an easier choice, but I just don't know at 0.3.
Man I tried H1000, rl26, N565 and N570. None shot well.....I'm not gonna go buy a # of known temp sensitive powder to try it. I switched to 135 atips this morning, threw a charge step together at a recommended seating depth. 7 different loads, all moa or better and 3 under half, 1 of em single hole. Es was fantastic between each shot as well. I know this is very coarse and small sampling, but really promising.Highdrum.......try reloader 25...shoots well in my PRC, 57 grains OAL 2.945--3 shots into 9/16" @ 300 yards is my best group so far, drops coinside with 2950 fps.
