What Optic Are YOU Running?

Zeiss LRP S3 4-25x with 46.5 mils of total elevation travel I can dial to near 700 yards without having to hold over...not that I can hit anything at that range, but in a Long Gong comp, I could easily dial, when others were running out of ups. Schott ED glass, great tracking, good turrets and even illumination checked all the boxes for me. 30moa rail and 20 moa mount help as well.

Why am I piercing primers on this 6.5AR?

Remington 6 1/2 primers do not have a thicker primer cup. It is .020" thick. Remington specifically warns not to use th e 6 1/2 in higher pressure cartridges like 17 Remington, 222, 223 etc. The 6 1/2 primer was designed to be used in lower pressure cartridges like the 22 Hornet & 218 Bee.
You're RIGHT! My BAD! :eek:

is to use primers that are thicker, like Remington 6.5's or 7.5's, CCI No 41's or magnum primers. All these have thicker cups to resist piercing.
