Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 6.5 PRC Bullet Selection

I like and use Hornady New Dimension dies. 6.5 PRC for a bit less than $40 at Midway USA. I learned how to use dies/press from a good friend myself. Before that, I was a self taught LEE Loader, you "hammered them in the die and hammered them out. Primed, charge, seat the bullet, hammer a crimp, good to go". ha I traded a rifle for an RCBS Rock Chucker Reloading Kit. I already had scales. I still use that same Rock Chucker from 1978! Get you a couple boxes of ammo, shoot them at the range, breaking in your rifle, getting your scope set. Take rifle, brass, dies, your bullet choice to your friend. Watch him close. Let him work up a good load. Then, you start learning from him how to load "that load" yourself, on his equipment. Then you will know what you need for your own set up when you are ready. Good luck to you pard!
