Thread: 6.5 PRC Load Development Begins

It's non existent. But less non existent than Re26. Quite a bit arrived in the last ADI shipment and took a couple of weeks to get snapped up.

Even with a short barrel, it can still give more speed. It's matching case capacity to bore ratio and bullet weight, more than barrel length has anything to do with it.

Really enjoying this thread….

Interesting the mag length is 3.060" and the COL touching lands hard with 143gn ELDX is 3.035". I have some loads prepared at 2.955" and some 150gn LRABS at 2.925" so a massive jump.

Will load some at 3.015" COL for 20 thou jump? Are ELDXs very jump sensitive?

Not in my experience

Trying to wrap my head around this same pressure more speed with longer COL Berger statement.

Because you effectively have a bigger case if it's not half full of projectile.
Not going to be as noticable in something with a large case capacity.

143gn ELDX on left at 2.955" COL and same again on right at 3.015" COL (30 thou jump and fits in mag). Testing longer length at 60 and 60.5gn with RE26.

Holy hell where did you get all the 143 from

I tend to go OTT when getting into something new. No 7mm in the cabinet now except a young fella I load for every now and then...but always could be drawn back to a 7mmSaum in the future after having 2 of them.

150gn LRabs not very good. Abandoned.

Longer COL shot worse and same pressure signs with 143gn eldx 60.0gn so 60.5 abandoned.

59gn with 143 eldx seems best but groups not as good at 2.955" - probably me.

I shoot the 142 ABLR in my Creedmoor and .260 and they shot real well with alot of jump.

These had about 110thou jump. Can have the handful I have left from sample pack...12 I think.

Thanks for the offer but i have plenty, better to offer them to someone that wants/ needs to try them out.

I'd like to give them a go in the Saum, have had a look at them but never got any.
