6.5 prc reloading

[Tony2000]

What is your favorite 6.5 prc 143 Hornady eldx load.

 

[Airohunter]

I'm running R-26, 56.2 grains off the top of my head and getting 3085 from a 25" barrel.
It shot 147's really well too but I had issues with them.....

I've got a PRC that does well with a similar load. I use 56.4 grains RL26 with a 143 seated .075" off ~2.920 OAL, ADG case, FED 210M

Precision Rifle Blog did a lot shooting with the 143 and I seem to recall 50 to 7o thou off was the zone for multiple cartridges.

 

[Tony2000]

I've been running 47 grains of RL22 ~ 2.954 OAL. It's been shooting between a 1/4 and 1/2 in. 3 shot groups at a 100 yards.

I will be working a load up using N565 and N560 however I will be using 140 elite hunters.

from what I read both powders work good in PRC

I settled on 57.5 grains of N565. 143 ELD-X, .010” off lands (3.005” COAL to tip/2.380” to Ogive) Lapua brass and gm210m primers gave me 2900 FPS and very good groups. This was on a Tikka Veil barrel. Not crazy fast but very accurate.

Hornady brass, 57.8gr H1000, F215M, 2.955” OAL
- 2867fps out of a factory 24.3” Roughtech barrel

Just got some ADG brass for H1000 & N565 dev, will post when finished

 

[Fishmaster196]

Hornady brass, CCI large rifle primers, 59 grains Retumbo. 2845 fps from a new 22 inch barrel.

For my rifle I use 55 grains of RL26 with a large rifle primer seated to max msg length for the 143 Eld-x and it performs exactly the same as factory loaded precision hunter ammo.
