6.5 PRC Load Data

[260284]

I have been gathering up some components for my 6.5 PRC (20" CarbonSix 1:7.5" on a Tikka). I have N570, N565, H4831sc, CCI200s, CCI250s, Tula LRM, and Federal 215s, to go with Lapua brass. Projectiles are 130 Norma Golden Target, 135 A-Tips, Norma 143 Bondstrikes, 143 ELDX, 140 ELDM, and 147 ELDM.

Looking for guidance on what primers to go with. I have been trying to trade the 215s loaclly for 210s, but no takers so far.

I’ve used both magnum and regular primers in my 6.5 PRC. I got a very slightly faster MV with the magnum and a slightly lower SD with the regular. I think you can get solid loads with either. Conventional wisdom would say use magnum primers if you will be shooting in low temperatures, but the case volume for the 6.5 PRC isn’t that big so I’m not sure it would make much difference.

If you ever get to Indy area I can help you with the 210M's...
