Thread: Some thoughts on 6.5 PRC

That's my 2c based on my limited knowledge and experience.

Im talking max on both (pressure showing on brass in both rifles). I run my creedmoor at 2910 with the 143eldx and most of my brass is on its 6th loading now and happy as larry. No doubt its warm but im confident it isnt “too warm”. For reference GRT suggests max to be 48.6gr for 2957fps. Mine was 2960 at 48.5gr when it started to stamp the brass. Im no expert either and i know my go to load at 2910 is pretty hot but i imagine it cant be that bad if the brass isnt pissed off by its 6th loading.
