Just looking to see what works for others - I am going to try H1000 and N565 with 147-156gr lead core bullets and 127-136 mono, and see what happens... Hunting rifle. I am liking the thought of a 156 Oryx for moose, and then a 135 Berger/127 Barnes LRX/124-136 Hammer for deer...
The 156 Berger is also something to consider, but not much info out on that one...
Anyone source ADG brass yet?
 
I got my ADG brass from Gary at BigHorn Sales.

I've been hunting with Nosler 140gr Accubonds over enough RL26 to hit 3050 fps. Very accurate and performance on game has been great. I've shot the 160gr Woodleigh with H1000 with good results too on target, no hunting with that load yet. This past season I hunted with 127gr Barnes LRX and RL26 at just under 3200 fps. Superb accuracy

The downrange performance possible with the 156gr Berger is unreal. I haven't shot any yet, but have measured them in my rifles throat and am going to plan some loads. RL33 looks like the best choice so far

Sounds fantastic, looking forward to more results.
Would love to have a 6.5 PRC for hunting.
