Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 6.5 PRC

I have dozens of loads to try but have not loaded them yet.

What have you tried and worked for you?????

I'm in the same boat. I've got some H1000 ordered and waiting for it to come in. I've got 130 gr. Accubonds and Scirocco's and giong to order some 140 gr. Accubonds to try as well.

Me three, I have 120ttsx, 129 ablr, 142 ablr on hand. 8133, rl26, 7828 ssc and assorted not so slow others. Have another 30 factory rounds to shoot for brass (couldn't find any). Guess I'll load a SWAG of each and pick one if it shoots good...if not back to drawing board. Meanwhile, look for brass and slowly shoot up the factor stuff.

I've found some Hornady brass online for about $42/50. I'm using spent Hornady brass from factory ELD-M and ELD-X rounds for now. I'm waiting for ADG to notify me they have some more in stock.

I have 160 Brass........ Quickload has some interesting results but was looking for some real life results.

This helps a little

I've printed out that data as well as what was on the Hodgdon site. Hodgdon used the 140 Nosler BT and the 130 Swift Sirocco for testing.

This load works pretty well. Rio7

,, what is your velocity

Fotis, Think i'm doing about 2850 fps, my crno went tit's up, ordered a new one should be here next week, will let you know then. Rio7

thank you!

Please be very careful on your loading. I have seen loads posted by some that are clearly well over pressure. Any loads used should come from professionall pressure testing labs, & even then should be reduced at least 10% to start. There are those out there that have gone out on there own trying to make a particular cartridge perform beyond it's safe pressure limits. It's easy to spike a load 10,000 psi or more. Those with blow rifles, missing fingers & eye's live with this for life. It is not worth it to gain an extra 100fps. The very best to you.
