Thread: 18" 6.5 PRC

Thanks for having this rifle built for me Greg!

It's definitley the most accurate rifle i have owned to date and in a compact size for bush to Tops hunting!

Here is what this rifle looks like now with the Carbon stock on it!



The load development was a bit drawn out as i started using the 143eld-x seating depth from the dummy round you supplied. I was getting the odd random pressure spike. Turned out you had it jammed 0.015" into the lands. It did shoot great like that usually though.
Check out this 318m group i shot while testing with it jammed.
Velocity on this load is 2915fps avg.



So i started again at 0.010" off the lands. Accuracy wasn't what i wanted but i sorted pressure out. With a MagnetoSpeed chrony i found a stable powder/velocity load. 56.6gr RL26 and then did a seating depth test as 0.010" jump wasnt working for me.


The 143gr ELD-X liked 0.050" and 0.120" jump.
I settled with 0.050"jump to keep as much velocity as i could - 2900fps avg ES~20fps. It shots 0.5moa anytime with this load.(tighter usually)
