Man that Prescott looks like it shoots pretty well. I've been thinking about getting one myself. Are you having any issues with it? Does it beat up brass like most Creedmoor ARs?
Yeah, for the money I’m impressed with the precision. I’ve only shot it suppressed and immediately added a superlative agb but still getting some beat up brass. My suppressor is an Enticer-L so it adds a good amount of back pressure. I’m planning on playing with the buffer weight a bit as well just haven’t had time yet. I never shot it stock so unsure what it would do out of the box but given it’s a rifle length 20inch barrel I’d say it’s prolly similar to other traditional 6.5 gassers.
The Sabre shoots well. I mostly shoot steel out to 600yds at my local range. I haven't measured the groups from the Sabre, but 1 MOA steel targets are easy to hit. I only shot the SMK stuff at the electronic target because someone else at the range had one and invited me to play because he was interested in how the AAC stuff grouped. You absolutely cannot go wrong for the price. To shoot better, you'd need to work up a load and do a lot of handloading. For my purpose, it's as good as it gets for the money.
My experience as well. Had a sd of 130 in 50 rounds. Some would just be way off
8 rounds. Velocity has been consistent across this case of ammo whenever I had the chrono out while shooting. I’ve made hits to a 10” plate at 363 yards easily with tight groups. My gun just really likes it and I got lucky. But to sit here and say it’s shit ammo just shows you don’t know what you’re talking about and likely don’t have first hand experience. It shoots very well in 2 of my rifles. In another not so great. Each rifle likes different ammo. My 6.5 prc hate Berger hybrids but loves ELDs. Does that mean Berger bullets are shit? No, it doesn’t.
Lol why are you butt hurt? Nobody said it is shit ammo. Go quote me where I did. But do show us a sample size of 50 with an ES under 10. Eight rounds is pretty insignificant, and a 10 plate at 363 is huge.
I didn’t say it was a 10” group just that’s my target at 363 yards. The group size was under 3”. Why the hell would someone waste 50 rounds to determine ES? Even on my competition rifles I measure ES with less than 10 rounds. You’re not going to see one round randomly shoot 50 fps higher. If you don’t want to use the ammo then don’t. Buts it’s very good ammo even if it was more expensive I’d still buy it
Yes, berger, hornady, lapua, etc are all mass produced too and usually have pretty high ES numbers.
Ya, aac ammo literally has a history of damaging cans, cases blowing out, etc. Im not rich enough to buy cheap ammo. If you are, good on ya. I know, i know, "but not muh 6.5" genuinely do not care. There are absolutely too many reputable brands out there to save 3 dollars a box on a chance. Given psas history with.. well, literally everything.. its a pass.
I assume you’re referring to a batch of 223 ammo that had defective bullets? Can you post your source of this issue with 6.5mm bullets we are discussing here please?
It's like their 77gr 5.56, when it first was released, way too hot. Okay, great speed numbers. OOPS my bolt! OOPS my can! Is it that much cheaper than the next cheap decent round, IMI RazorCore? No.
Note where i said "do not care its supposedly not 6.5" (paraphrasing). Psa makes junk and im not willing to chance it. You are. Good on ya. No, "all ammo manufacturers issues" dont blow up guns. We arent talking inaccurate rounds, or extreme deviation in velocity. Etc. We are literally talking about damaged equipment and potential safety issues. If it had been 1 gun, sure, we could argue "hey things happen". This is a plethora. With all the reputable ammo makers out there, why bother. Ive got some garbage zsr 308 ammo that might blow up your gun ill sell ya cheap, If you want, too. (Thats how i got this admittedly dour opinion on cheap ammo, actually.) Ive teied buying cheap guns, ammo, accesories. A lot of it from psa, actually. Im a slow learner, but i did learn. I genuinely hope you or your equipment arent injured learning that same lesson (thats genuine, btw, no snark intended at all).
