Working up a Load with the 6.5 PRC

[The_Whitetail_kid]

Hello everyone. Fixing to start working up a load with my Christensen Arms 6.5 PRC. My bullet options are the 143 ELDX, 156 Berger, 140 grain Berger. My powder options are H4831, H1000, and Retumbo. What bullet do you think I should try to load? and what are some suggestions on where to start as far as powder charge, seating depth, etc. Also, personal experiences, on grouping, performance, etc. Thanks.

I am using 56.3gr of H1000 with the 156 for 2950 fps. This seems to be the swet spot for this combo.

With my CA I'm working on the 143eldx and 140eldm right about 3100 with h1000 57.2gr, fed210, lapua brass, and 20k off. My CA long range really likes this combo.

I've been shooting 58.2gr of H1000 with the 156 EOL for over 4 years now. It still turns in 1/2 MOA accuracy. I am using Hornady cases and CCI BR2s.

Did some testing this weekend, not a bad load here. Probably what I'll stick with. 3 shot group with 54 grains of H4831 with a 156 Berger in the ol PRC.
