N565 6.5 prc

[ElkPirate]

Has anyone had any luck loading a 6.5 PRC with N565 powder? I have multiple bullets to choose from. My rifle is 24” barrel with 1:7 twist. Just curious about others results.

Welcome to the forum.

Several people are using N565 in the PRC with the heavier for caliber bullets.

Thank you. There’s a pile of good info hiding in plain sight!

My 22" 7.5 Twist shot them very well with that combo and ADG brass with a Fed210M primer. I had accuracy close to the lands which rendered the rifle a single shot, and also shot them well with more jump to mag feed (short action). I've since moved to a 147 ELDM with N565- also shoots great. I will try to look tonight at the powder charge I landed on.

N565 is our preferred powder for the 6.5 prc.Seems to always show best velocity with accuracy pushing the 156 berger. Came to this conclusion after working with 8 different 6.5prc's for a sample size.

Good to know.

156, n565, in ADG brass shoot fantastic for me. 7.5 twist proof tube

What kind of jump were you looking for with the Berger’s?

I've had great success with H 869 in my 6.5PRC.

6.5 prc custom rifle with medium action, 24” barrel 7.5 twist. Berger 156 EOL, lapua brass, federal 210M primer. I would be interested in trying ADG brass instead of lapua, I have more ADG brass than lapua brass just to see how they compare. Curious on what others similar to my rifle are getting with 156 and the results with the two different brass.

Tagged in as well. I have a new 6.5 PRC barrel on a Tikka and finally have some N565, 147 ELDM's and 210M's to start load development.
