Just purchased some 130gr ELDM. Going to load some up for my 6.5PRC.
I’ve seen some threads where guys have used the 130 sierra tkg.
Just wondering if anyone has loaded up the 130 hornady.
Powders I’ll be trying is Accurate MagPro and RamShot Magnum.
I’ll post some results once get them.

Finally got some loads done and tested.
I’m shooting a Mossberg Patriot 6.5 PRC 24 inch barrel 1:8twist.
When shooting the factory hornady eldx is was getting 1.25 groups ( that’s mostly me as a shooter I’m sure).
Loaded up a few different charges with the accurate mag pro and a 130gr ELDM
The one my gun liked the best was
60.8 gr of powder. Was getting .75 groups with it. Avg Velocity of 3,025.

I shoot them in my 6.5 SST very similar to your PRC. I've had good success with Retumbo and RL 26. Getting 2975'3050 with a 22" barrel. I like the 130 ELDM's and the 140's

Thanks for the info. I’m getting ready to load a few up with the RamShot Mag and RamShot LRT. Burn rates similar to RL26 and Retumbo.
Looked for some Retumbo in the beginning but powder being what it is today.
