Powder Recommendations for 6.5 PRC

[RunningRiver]

Hi all,
Going to be reloading for a 6.5 PRC being shot out of a 26 inch heavy barrel. Been looking on other forums and people seem to really like H1000. I would go with that but I can't seem to find any. Looking to see if anyone has any 6.5 Prc powder recommendations and recipes to share?
Thank you so much,
Ian

IMR 8133 and Retumbo are reported to be excellent choices for that cartridge.

Most guys use RL26 or H1000. I mainly use RL26 myself

 

[Brody20]

My most accurate load I used my imr7828 but had great results with h1000 as well .40 moa

Retumbo

 

[fridge450]

I’m great results with retumbo and hornady eld-x bullets and RL-26 with 156 Berger eol bullets using federal match magnum primers.

156 BERGER on top of VV N565

 

[Bradm218]

every barrel is different. my 6.5 PRC likes N Vit 560 and IMR7828. Had terrible groups with H1000.

N570 with Berger 140gr hybrid target bullets.

Haven't loaded for my 6.5 PRC as yet...
But my research has also shown data for 140 gr bullets with:
StaBall 6.54
StaBall HD
Re-23
US869
MagPro

More then one way to skin a cat…

N565 and H1000

 

[bdb.hunting]

N565 and I did use some N568 but no extensive testing. I have also had some good results with Superformace but keep in mind its not really temp stable.

I have had good accuracy with US869, compressed charge 67.5 gr with the 142 NABLR but it's about 60 FPS slower than the RL25 load which is also still under 1 MOA, the retumbo had good velocity but I couldn't get the accuracy out of it H4831 also worked well

I’m using R26 and 143gr eldx out of my Tikka CTR.
