Screwd on my 6.5 prc from Hawk Hill custom

[captdan]

Shawn at Hawk Hill delivered my new 6.5 PRC barrel in record time. Looks great! Range day next week for barrel break in and testing. Did a nice job on matching the AI pale brown too.

I interpreted that title completely differently...

That chambering intrigues me. I am not a fan of the Creedmoor, however I will admit it is a good cartridge. The PRC seems to offer more of what I am looking for without stepping up to a .26 Nosler.

It should be interesting. I personally do like the 6.5 creed and have had good luck with it. But the PRC should even be a better performer I hope.

Sweet rig

I love my AT, cant and wont shoot anything else, saving my pennies for the AX buttstock upgrade and a proper good scope like a S&B or something exotic.

AT is a winning platform too. I also like the S/B scopes, but I think there are other worthy scopes out there for a good price point. In any case enjoy the AI!

I have been, shot the guradian prs match, finished dead last almost due to my AMG losing its shit on me.

But I was given another scope for day 2 and it hammered for the team match. Place 4th for the team event not bad

What caliber / load are you shooting?

 

[eric32]

260rem 130gr ELD factory ammo, I was a little short on time for the match to handload

I'm looking forward to the 6.5 prc...

 

[eric32]

That should be a laser, 147gr or 150gr SMKs at around 3100ish

Very happy with 5 shot group at 100 yards today..

 

[eric32]

What's the speed?

What's the speed?

Not sure. Over the counter ammo. Around 2950 so says my program, did not chrono. I am amazed at the stock 142gr factory ammo in this case..

 

[eric32]

That's a great factory alternative for when you dont wanna load

Very true... I'll be reloading, just not set up yet.

Spend the money on ammo dont worry with today's factory stuff it's a wash
