For you 6.5 PRC handloaders....what powders are you having the most luck with? I believe the slowest I have is RL26. I will probably stick with 139 Scenars to start with since I have a crapload of them, then maybe 130 AB.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Great minds think alike Jud! I already did, but I have very, very little of his best powder. He could kill big stuff with freaking blackpowder in his rig.

I have a pretty good stash of RL26 I figured I'd start with. Would like more Retumbo but it's scarce.

H4831SC....not a trendy powder tied to the 6.5 PRC but it's been solid behind 139 scenars in my GAP.

Do not overlook RE-17 with the 130s. Sierra shows it producing velocities right there with the "magnum" powders.

If you've got a good supply of R26 start with that. I've got two rifles chambered in 6.5 PRC, and both shoot the same load very well.
139 Scenar
H-brass
56.2grs R26
Tula LRM primer
BTO 2.250"
3080fps 24" 1-8" Bartlein

Been using two powders for my 6.5 PRC loads- Magpro for the Berger 140 VLD Hunting bullets, RL26 for the Barnes LRX 127 gr.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
