Quick load 6.5 prc 140AB

[hoyt-6190]

If someone has a chance can they run a quick load for 6.5prc, N560, 140 AccuBond, fed 210 and an OAL OD 2.91”?

The data I wrote down from QuickLoad for the 140 gr AB in my 24" barreled 6.5 PRC and max 65,000 psi showed the following for two powders I have on hand:

• Re-26: max @ 58.3 gr for 3090 fps
• Magpro: max @ 60.6 gr for 3082 fps

Sorry, I did not specify a COAL or primer in my search.
I have not yet had a chance to try these.

Sorry I edited it. I’m looking for N560.

Appreciate the RL-26 data.
That is what I plan to use with my sub 16 incher with my hunting bullets, once I have 100+ rounds through the tube

That little 6.5 PRC is a dandy cartridge. I kinda think it’s one of the best all rounders to hit the pike out of the new stuff. I tell folks I think it’s the modern version of the 270 Win since it is able
To handle really slick bullets, uses about the same amount of powder as a 270 and is usually fairly accurate.
