She likes the Sierra 145gr TGK with Magnum.
Awesome results Steve! The 145 TGK is a sweet PRC bullet
I use RL26 under it, 54.4grs does 2950 fps from my 24" Tikka CTR

Just loaded 6.5 PRCs with Grand today and Fed215 s in Gunwerks brass . 3 different bullets 145 MBs 147 ELDMs and 150 SMKs . It’s sure a NICE powder to work with . RJ
What kind of velocity are you getting Jim
Another vote for H-1000 sub MOA groups with ES of less than 20 and velocity over 3000 fps with 143 eldx this was with a factory TIkka with a 24" barrel. I suspect you could get 3100 fps with a 26 custom barrel and push the pressure a bit. COAL was mag length.
Way to Fast for the 6.5 PRC and BURNs DIRTY DIRTY ! LOL

Second that. 2925 seems to be be the sweat spot with a 22in barrel. I got sub MOA at 3025 fps to but its a bit hot for my taste.
You appear to be stalking StaBall 6.5 threads.Way to Fast for the 6.5 PRC and BURNs DIRTY DIRTY ! LOL
As I said it cleans copper really well. As for the carbon/soot, cleans up easily at least in my custom barrels. It might be harder to clean up in factory barrels, I wouldn't know.
As for "way to[o] fast" for 6.5PRC, that depends. With lighter bullets, it's definitely a contender with reasonable case fill and velocity.
Not stalking anything I POSTED up on here #3 long before you did !
All I ever said is it’s a VERY dirty burning powder ! I completely know all about it ! Oh I have a lot of custom barrels with 3 alone for F class rifles .
And 6.5 Staball is not at all a “ Preferred “ 6.5 PRC powder - Rl26 - H1000- Retumbo - ARE ! And many more
But I might continue to try it out in my New Custom Barreled 65 CM rifle and see how it’s does for accuracy and speed etc
Thanks for your In Put
I Appreciate it .
