I have a 1/7 twist 6.5 prc. ( will get barrel length later) I live and shoot in MT so around 3500 to 5000 ft. I am going to start reloading and am looking for a recipe and bullet weight that will work. I have read some threads about bullets exploding. What grain should I be using?

For hunting or target shooting?

Loading to mag length or does not matter? If for mag, what's your maximum mag length?
 
Go to longrangeonly.com and look under the cartridge guide. All the info is right there
