Load data in caliber 6.5 mm Lahoz with .264 | 100gr | Lapua FMJ bullet and 100 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are Hodgdon BL-C2, Lovex D073.6 and Shooters World Match Rifle.

Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge. Since we have no control over the equipment and components used, any responsibility and liability for the results achieved is rejected.

Only powders/loads that match the current filter criteria are displayed: max pressure of a load ≤ 90% of max. standardized pressure, fill rate ≥ 80% and propellant combustion ≥ 95%. Use the sliders above the tables to adjust these thresholds.

Charge: Powder weight in grains. Start with the minimum load and work up carefully.

FR (Fill Rate): Case fill as a percentage. Values above 100% mean compressed loads.

MaxP / %: Maximum chamber pressure in bar and as a percentage of the standardized maximum for this caliber.

V(0): Muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) at the standardized barrel length.

z (Powder Burn): Estimated propellant combustion percentage at bullet exit.

This overview compares 100 powders for 6.5 mm Lahoz loaded with the .264 | 100gr | Lapua FMJ. ReloadSwiss RS 60 delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 2,864 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,752 fps to 2,864 fps. Accurate 4064 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 100 of the 100 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.

Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (345 MPa), the top charges use 66–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 100.0 gr projectile in 0.264" calls for a 1:15.0 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. Accurate 4064, Accurate 4064, Alliant Reloder- TS 15.5 reach 100 % fill or more at maximum charge, so these are compressed loads: they need a long drop tube to seat cleanly and react sensitively to the case capacity of your own brass lot. Hodgdon BL-C2, Lovex D073.6, Shooters World Match Rifle rank at the top here: for 6.5 mm Lahoz with the .264 | 100gr | Lapua FMJ they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
