Any one using us 869 powder in their 6.5 prc loads. Im in the process..
hornady brass, hornady 143gr eldx, federal 210 primer an us 869 powder.. going to build a ladder test starting with 61.3gr us869 an work my way up.. as or if you can read the attached sheet.. the sheet shows 2 loads. An ive got everything to do both loads just hoping my gun likes the 143gr eldx load.

How did those loads turn out?

The rifle I was referring to, a Ruger Hawkeye M77 bolt action, was recently sent to a gunsmith to be rebarreled with a Shilen barrel. It was starting to go a little loopy on me when I tested the 153.5 grain Berger Hybrids, and it still shot so well. So... I have never before had a rifle rebarreled. Needless to say, my heart's in my mouth.

I recently acquired a Seekins Element with a 21" barrel, and will start load development in a couple weeks. Is H1000 my best bet for a short barrel like this, and bullets between 143-156 gr? I have the other powders, too.
