Newbie Does anybody have reloading data for 6.5 cm using a 153.5 lrht
I'm wanting to load some 6.5 cm out of my 24 inch 1/8T proof research carbon sendero as followed (153.5 LRHT, Lapua srp brass, CCI 450 srmp, and h4350). I have emailed berger before about using hornady brass and large rifle primers, but im unsure about this load. I emailed them, but haven't gotten anything back yet.

I used the info they emailed me (153.5/156 hornady brass) with that bullet and lapua SRP brass, H4350, CCI 400's. I figure that because the data they gave me was for 156's I would be safe going straight to the top end of the loads and did 40.3; and in my rifle, my chamber, I was piercing primers.
In my rifle, starting lower, around 38 would probably be fine as far as pressure goes. Of course, your mileage may vary, I'm just some asshole on the internet, but the bottom end (36.5) would certainly be safe and you can work your way up from there.

From Barnes, they said 153.5 and 156 is same data. This is for 6.5cm

Yessir, they sent me this too. I’m running small rifle magnum primers in this particular load, so I didn’t know if it would be different.

Just wait for the email response from Berger. They'll get back to you. Their data works well.
