6.5PRC primers

[Scuffy]

I am about to start loading for a new 6.5PRC.
For those that load for this caliber, are you using large rifle, or large magnum rifle primers ?

Thanks

I'm using CCi BR2 (bench rest) and it works very well for me. I use RL26 powder, but I believe it's not easy to get these days.

I believe this similar to the Federal 210M (match)

Viht 165 is another good powder , 210 match , 57 grains , 140 Eld-m . 2963 fps .

I have shot both and have seen no visible difference in CCI250 (Magnum) over BR2's. RS76 used here - other powders may be available

I'm using CCI#250's too in my PRC. I was planning on just using the standard #200's but remembered that they have quite a soft casing to them.

I use RS70 in mine

CCI250’s and N565. Good velocity and precision with Sierra TGK 140gr.

I’m just starting out with 6.5 PRC but will be running RS62 and federal 215 magnums , regarding primers - they all go bang but performance is what gives you the best results ES / SD over a chronograph, Hornady load data is done with Federal 210, Vihtavouri load data is done with 215 magnums so both will be fine, the problem is finding any !!

BR2 with Vit N165.

Can anyone actually find primers?

Magnum, was getting around 150ft/s less with N165 when I tried standard LR primers. SD also dropped considerably when using magnum primers.

Yes, Remington, seem to be plenty available

Magtec Large rifle and Remington Large magnum.

I'm up for some fairly unsavoury acts to obtain some BR2....
