Load data: 6.5prc and 156 EOL

[OG-danimal]

Trying out some 156 bergers in the 6.5 prc. If they perform well I might use them for elk and deer season come October… still kicking that idea around. Here's the first set of data points so far… I didn't reach any signs of pressure in my test today. But I think I'm going to mess with a node between 56.0 and 56.5 gr for now. Any one else liking N560 for this combo?
Cheers

What's your barrel length? Those are decent speeds regardless with n560. I'll be trying n565 and n570, although I have an 18" barrel so it'll be much slower.

Curious dont those require a faster twist

I'm getting very good accuracy with my 6.5 PRC and 156's @ 2970fps with a 24" barrel and Retumbo 57.8grs

24" 1:7.5 twist proof

I may need to try Retumbo also. Thx

The 156 should be excellent in your 6.5 PRC; I will be loading them in my .264 WM. If you have not done so already, contact Berger Tech support for load recommendations as your baseline for your load development. They have always been very supportive.
