Thread: 6.5 prc loads

I would say that 2213 will be fine as it is near the burn speed of 4831 which is known to be a good powder for 6.5s in general, might be a little slower than what could be achieved with superformance or RL26. The 6.5 PRC seems to be very easy to load for with most combinations of pills and powder. Give it a go and let us know how you get on. I will probably put the hammers in front of rl22 as I have a couple of tins I am not using for any other cal. Attachment 146651

Quick question: How similar are Superformance and RL26 in real world experience, velocity & groups ?

My 6.5PRC shot .3 or less with both. Superformance gave me better velocity....100fps

Would you say those numbers would reverse with 150 class bullets?

Never actually tested superperformance and also not a prc but near enough my 6.5saum did 3080 with the 156 Berger I wouldn't hesitate to use the 26 with the heavier

Getting 2990 with the 153s and R26 out of 22" with the PRC.

If I can ever get my hands on some ill tell you. The ammo crises has taught me to keep my options open. I'm always tinkering.

153s are about the only thing still widely available arnt they? Probably due to being a bit long for all the creedmore owners.....that and the price....but shit they fly.

Not that I have tried RL26, but I found Superformance more 'blasty' if that's a word than 2213.
Taupohunter yourself, GPK and 25 08imp have given me a good picture of what to expect versus RL26 thank you

If using Hodgdon superprofrmance in the summer months at near max take care as it is prone to pressure spikes if your rounds are left at the range in the sun.
