Which powder? Horniday 6.5 cm 143 grn precision hunter.

I use H4350 for both my son and my 6.5cm hunting rifles with 143ELDx. I use 42.5gr @ 2,670fps with my 20" barrel and I can't remember what my kid loads.

Figured it out... It was 1014yds, not 1020yds, sorry.

Factory ammo works...

Staball 6.5 gives me about 100fps higher velocity than H4350 in my 7mm-08 at 0.8gr below max Hogdon load data. Two loads appear to have 5 and 6 fps SD, but I've not done enough testing to be sure. It measures great when throwing charges out of a volume measure so it speeds up loading time.
YUP!!
 
Id go with Reloader16, superformance, or 100v I hear that precision hunter is pretty hot/fast. I'm not sure you could duplicate it with the other 4350s in a 22" barrel
 
Im getting the same grouping as Buck3 with my 6.5CM. Except @2735 avg with a 26 inch barrel. Lapua brass, CCI BR primers and H4350.
 
i use 44.7 grains of super performance pushing a 143 eldx@ 2789 out of a 24 inch barrel in my xbolt LR speed
its cleanly taken 45+ elk and whitetails from 80 to 515 yards and have yet to need a second shot
