I’m looking to build a rifle to replace my 270 win, and I’m coming up with a 6.5 PRC. I’m shooting 130 grain bullets @ 3150 fps in my 270 with a 22” barrel with H4831sc and would like to duplicate that.
So my question is....... What is a real world achievable muzzle velocity for a 22” 6.5 PRC shooting 130 grain bullets with either H4831sc, H100, or Retumbo. I definitely want to stick with the Hodgdon extreme powders for temp stability. Is 3150 - 3200 fps without extreme pressure a unrealistic dream?
