6.5 PRC Loads

I would give the barrel a little while Mine sped up over the first 50 rds. I think you will settle on either N565 or H1000. They are ideal for this cartridge and 140 gr class bullets. I have found them to be equivalent in terms of charge weight, accuracy, and SD. The N565 is a bit bulkier in the case.

I was able to get up to the 58.1-58.5 gr range for velocities in the 2950-2975 range. My last 10 shot string during load development was 58.4 gr of H1000 under a 143 ELDX, with an SD of 5.

Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

I have 12.5" and 20" because I can.

My sons have 13.9" only, P&W to 16+ with a mount.

The 20" is easier to hit with past 600 - but - on pigs from 0-200 it doesn't matter much other than we use 100 gr ELDX in the 12.5 & 13.9, and I use 123 SST in the 20".

I dunno if you could HUB adapt to use a Dead Air mount & interface with a 13.9", but with some set ups it is conceptually possible.

Firearms TacOps X-Ray 51

I'd like to know how he makes a rifle shoot like that. Wouldn't mind studying under him for a few days.

Nice looking rifle. GLWS.
Great gunsmiths are like great engine builders, you can learn a lot from watching how they do things, but most will never tell you all of the subtle tricks they have that make the extra difference in performance. That’s what keeps them in business….

Rifle Scopes New bushnell XRS3 has illumination!!

Why the fuck and how the fuck are they advertised and marketing new scopes when they can't even answer phones from paying customers for months. There's people who need warranty services that either never find a way to make contact with an actual human at Bushnell or get blown off when someone does answer.
Why? Because new scope sales pay the bills.

Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

The 2 Grendel’s I’ve put together in the last couple months. An 18” with Craddock RTR and NightForce NX8 2.5–20x. I just finishing this 13.9” Craddock RTR Pangris. Just ordered the Steiner T6XI 2-5-15x this evening. Both are using adjustable gas blocks and sharing a HUXWRW Flow 762. While I’m sure the 13.9” will be more well rounded, the 18” is just so enjoyable and rewarding to shoot. Both are using Geissele SDE triggers and A5 buffer systems. View attachment 8661690It’s like my MRAD. It’s makes me look like a much better shooter than I am.
How's the accuracy with the RTR 18" barrel?
Thanks
