Due to the lack of primers available for purchasing (specifically LR Mag) has anyone gotten good velocity and accuracy with say WLR or Fed 210 in the 6.5 PRC.
Will be using Retumbo RL 26 H1000. Thanks!

I use BR2’s in mine Fotis. About the same capacity as a 270 Win. No big need for a magnum primer with that load in my opinion. Won’t hurt, but it ain’t needed either.

I'm using 210's with 61.0 grains of Magnum in the PRC, and am real happy with it.

Fed 210 with 59 gr. H1000 and a 143 ELDX works for me.

I would try whatever LR ones you got or can get your hands on magnum or not and use whatever one is the most accurate. Here is an example I have, I load for 2-6.5×06AI they both shoot the same exact powder, charge, bullet and brass only difference is one likes a Fed 215 and the other Fed210. There within 10FPS of each other too.
