6.5 prc load?

[John12342]

Loading 6.5 prc with 160 grain Hornady RN using n570. My scales show 63 grains as close to full and my app shows that 66 grains @ 62,500 psi and load ratio of a 100.6 % ?

Not asking for anything other than information

What are you asking? Different brands of brass will have different capacities.

Might be worth considering a 'drop tube' when filling the case. This helps to get the powder packed a little tighter.

You can also tap the outside of the case with (for example) a pencil, that'll help settle the powder so you can for more in the case.

I haven't used N570 in the PRC, but looks like a good match for that bullet in that case. Big kernels though, so how you fill the case is going to effect how much you can fit in there.

Is there a prize for being the first guy out there to load a 160gr round nose in a 6.5 PRC?

I load my 160gr RN backwards to lower the BC.

I loaded 160gr Woodleigh Weldcore Protected Points in my first PRC in like 2018, just to see what it did. Worked well

54.9grs H1000 @ 2820 fps and accurate enough
