Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 6.5 PRC loads?

I'm bumping this back up.

Just got my PRC I'm thinking about running some 123 to 130 grain bullets and wondered what other info you guys have came up with.

Also have plenty of 147 elds and 139 scenars but I'm interested in trying some lighter bullets. Any info would be appreciated thanks

This is the load I'm sticking with. Hornady brass/58.0 H1000/Rem 9-1/2/ 130 gr. Scirocco. Chrono shows 3100 FPS.

I'm at 57.5 now with zero pressure signs and gonna try 58.

The case capacity of the PRC is very near the 6.5 Rem. Use that load data and you won't go wrong.

There is good info on the Hodgdon site but I appreciate what you're saying. Only been loading for 60 years and always learnin something new...:-)

I would be surprissed if you can detect any differences, pressure-wise, with 0,5gr powder charge difference in a 58gr load...

I have seen lab results that show shot to shot pressure varations with the same load that would take in those produced by a 0,9% charge difference of a medium-slow burning powder.

I never stop learning, either :-)

6.5 PRC 147 gr. Eld-m 58.0 gr. Retumbo 1760 yrds. Rio7
