6.5-06 and 143 ELD-X

wisconsinteacher · Dec 22, 2016

I am heading towards a store that sells powder and would like to know what you recommend for the 6.5-06 with the 143 ELD-X bullet and a 26" barrel?

I'm thinking about trying RL26????

Thoughts???

RL26 , IMR7828ssc , RL22 would be my starting powders .

Cartridge : 6.5-06 A-Square
Bullet : .264, 143, Hornady ELD-X 2635 G7
Useable Case Capaci: 61.144 grain H2O = 3.970 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 26.0 inch = 660.4 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 65000 psi, or 448 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Not going to be at the top, RL26 should do that, but H4831 works with 130s in one of mine.
The other I run 140s w RL26.
Once you get a load with those ELDs, run one or two into jugs please? I'd like to see more of them and how they hold up.
The new QL update isn't here yet but I'd think IMR7977 might be real good in that also. Maybe even 4955.

In the FWIW column, you want a terrific load, run one of the bonded 130s, Nosler or Swift, at around 3050 to 3100 and it'll take care of pretty much whatever you need.

Dewey , did you check to be sure this update includes the enduron powders ? I haven't had a chance yet . thanks Jim

I may have messed up, don't know.
I saw current as of Dec 2016 and figured it had them.
If you want to wait a few days Jim, mine should be here and I can let you know?
