Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 6.5-06 and 143 gr ELD-X

Does anybody have any loads they'd care to share using the Hornady 143 grain ELD-X in the 6.5-06?

Yes, this is Mule Deer's load but I scaled it up for my Ackleyed version. His load is 56 grains H-1000 for a 140 Berger. I use 60 grains in the Ackley and H-1000 is by far the best powder I've found for 140 class bullets, up to 147 ELDs.

Tried R-26 and several other powders but H-1000 is the most accurate in my rifle.

55 grs of RL 26 with WLR primer in a Hornady 30-06 case sized down to 6.5x06.... 3000fps sub 1/2” 5 shots sd is 10. My barrel is a Shilen 1/8 twist at 25”.... work up

Good stuff, Mistem. Thanks!
