6.5 PRC Load Data

Handloaders looking for accuracy, here's some great 6.5 PRC load data and information to get you started.

www.rifleshootermag.com

And here is some data published by Hornady

With the PRC you have two challenges

1) it is a pretty new cartridge so not a lot of load development work done.

2) It’s an American cartridge and they tend to use American powders - IMR, Hodgedon etc rather than European Vihtavuori and Norma.

Have a good look at the Viht website - they publish quite a bit of load data. Don’t know if they have Viht on there.

I would start with 6.5-284 Vihtavuori data with the slower powders and work up. I would use Hornady data for COAL to start with.

Sorry not very exact but it will need a bit of fiddling due to the lack of Viht data.

This!
N165 would probably be recommended by people that want longer barrel life.

N565 is a very popular powder for 6.5 PRC and is what I'm going to use when my PRC arrives in 2 weeks time.

Hornady published their load data for this cartridge in their press release, see here: https://press.hornady.com/assets/site/hornady/files/load-data/6.5-prc-v2.pdf

6.5 PRC & Vihtavuori N565???

Need some help here guys! I am not familiar with this cartridge and I am trying to help a friend reload for his 6.5 PRC factory hunting rifle. The bullet he has chosen to shoot is the Berger 140 Elite Hunter. From some of the research I have done, it appears that H1000 seems to be the magic...
