I have built a few now, more in the process, here are some of them

I know that the PRC factory loads are de-tuned so as not to go over the shooting competition speed limit, but why is it that with hunting reloads the PRC is slower than the GAP SAUM when they are more or less the same thing ????

The Saum is slightly bigger & the 6.5 PRC is little behind it velocity wise
