Help with PRC 6.5

[Cr1775]

Help please. My niece got her 1st rifle over a year ago but hasn't found ammo for it. At Thanksgiving when i talked to her i said i would reload some .
Have all components and dies ordered but never loaded a 6.5 anything.
Have Sierra 120gr SPT, 130gr TGK , 140 gr TGK and Hornady 143gr ELDX on order powder that i have is H4831,H1000, IMR4350,IMR7828,IMR 4831? And Western Powder Magnum to work with .
Any help with what what Powder i should pair with bullets would be great as i only have 1 manual that lists 6.5 PRC . Thank you

i haven't reloaded for prc yet, but review this, looks like it shows two of your powders.

while it def isn't cheap, try ammoseek.com if y'all want to at least try some factory ammo.

H1000 and 140 class bullets are a good bet. Follow the above Hornady data and the data on Hodgdon's site and you should be in the right area. Nosler has 6.5 PRC data on their site as well.

Thank you all looks like I'll start with H4831 and H1000

I've seen quite a posts asking for 6.5 PRC data / info so maybe it should go up with the other cartridges on the stickys

That was the 1st place i looked surprisingly it wasn't on it. But got what i needed just didn't want to burn up components to get a load since i haven't seen large rifle primers and slow powder at the store for a while.
