Hornady 147 ELDM Factory ammo powder?

[Sooner Sniper]

Does anyone by chance know what powder Hornady loads in their 147 gr ELDM 6.5 PRC ammo?

Thx in advance for any assistance!

I think it may be IMR 4831, but if anyone knows for sure and can confirm that would be great.

It may be 4831... But it's likely a powder (or powders) that they have had manufactured to their specifications.

Example: The Superformance powder that you can buy in 1 or 8 lb jugs is not the same powder that Hornady puts in their Superformance ammo.

I asked a while back and they claim not to use any “canister powder” in their ammunition.

Thank you both for the replies. I was trying to short cut load development for a trip next week and my rifle shoots the Hornady factory stuff sub MOA out of the box, but I got lucky and the first load I tested using N565 was sub 1/2 MOA so I’m good to go.

Have you clocked the N565 load ?

Not yet. Hope to do that on Saturday
