[QUOTE="fastnflat1, post: 1679220, member: 41416"] This spring I put together a hunting rifle to use for deer and elk in Montana this fall. I originally wanted to run 143 ELD-X or 142 AB LR bullets. Starting with H1000 powder and not yielding much better than 1 moa groups I was getting disgusted. The H1000 seemed to be about the right speed of burn for the 142/143s and offered great load density with being able to run compressed loads without seeing much pressure but the accuracy wasnt there. I have been reading that RL26 is the cherry powder for the 6.5 PRC but i cant get my hands on any to try it. I decided to try the 130gr sierra gamechanger TGK bullet and along with them I run H4831SC and this seems to be a great combo as they will stack in the same hole at 100yds. My barrel is a 26" Lilja 8 twist. Hornady brass 56gr of H4831SC is a real tac driver at 3020fps and 59gr also groups real well at 3118fps. Also using CCI 250 LR magnum primer I havent seen much load data or talk of using H4831SC in the 6.5PRC and am curious if others have used it and what their results are like. I would also be interested in seeing what quickload says about pressure of the 2 loads I listed above. Thanks for sharing any data related to this! [/QUOTE]
