    Who’s loading for a 6.5prc? I’ve been sitting on the fence whether the extra speed over the 260rem was really worth the trouble, and neck minute I’m mounting a scope on my new Springfield 2020 waypoint in 6.5prc. Rifle is pretty much a custom build quality wise and guaranteed to shoot .75. All the US reviews are very favourable. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers fellas.

    Mag internal is just on 3inch , 77mm .
    Just under 4kg with a full mag and bolt running the factory rail , Steiner alloy 30mm rings and vx5 3/15x44 firedot. Also has the backlanz bipod bracket. Started running a few down range today and the factory Norma bondstrikes are shooting very well through it. Actually so well that I’m not sure if I’ll buy some dies !Hopefully get back to range tomorrow to finish off and confirm zero . I’m aiming to have it zeroed @ 200 so 1.4inch high @ 100. Really nice platform to shoot and everything is nicely finished and functions spot on. The us reviewed rifles all came with plastic mags and mines got a metal one. Will look to get a flush fit mag at some stage. Pretty stoked so far .

    First shot was in the bull , three shot group was pretty good and closer to my targeted 200 m zero mark. Still super impressed.

    Looks good, you could also play around bumping the factory ammo in .003 thou on length adjustment to see if all come together? or just not worry about it.
