ADG brass load data for 6.5 PRC

[hollywood1981]

Whats up guys? Looking for a little insight on some good starting points for charge weights using the ADG brass for a 6.5 PRC. I noticed that you cannot go up as high in charge weight per ADG. If anyone has reloaded with this brass, what was your max weight before you started seeing pressure signs? Just need a good starting reference and max load you would reccomend. Thanks

Probably not much help since I haven't worked up to max yet but in my new barrel with new brass I found a good node with 55 gr of RL26 and am at 2970 with a 147 ELDM. I started at 53 grs and worked up. I used the Hornady load data https://www.hornady.com/assets/site/hornady/files/load-data/6.5-prc-v4.pdf

Gotcha, much appreciated! Just got my hands on some RL 26 myself, can't wait to do some load data myself. Are using the ADG brass for load up?

In this proof barrel yes I'm using ADG

I'm my CA Ridgeline I'm using Hornady brass, Retumbo and a 140 Berger VLD. Running those at 3020 fps. It's a very accurate load

Using RL26 in my Havak, dialed in load shoots 2970fps @57.1g with a 156 Berger. Ejector marks at 58.2, sticky bolt at 58.6g.

Well, this was a timely post. Got my ADG 6.5 PRC brass today with the proof barrel and dies inbound next Wed. Thanks!

55 grains rl 26 with 156 berger
55.3 grains rl 26 with 153.5 berger both get me 2980 with no signs of pressure in adg brass. 210m primers
Both bullets extremely accurate .040-.050 "off
