Magnum primers may give you a pressure spike early into ignition. I used small magnum primers in a 6.5 C and made it work but the standard large rifle are much easier to tune a load.

I believe Nosler brass is made by Norma. I could be wrong. Norma brass has been fantastic for me. I only have a hunting load right now with a 180gn interlock,Norma brass,Winchester LRM primers and 82.5gn of H1000. On my 6th or 7th firing. AL

I have two Ruger Americans in the Go Wild models. One 6.5creedmoor and a 6.5 PRC. If you swap the trigger springs these rifles both will shoot way above the pay grade. Sub MOA most of the time .5MOA regularly. The go wilds have cerakote, box mags, threaded barrels and not heavy at all.

Wth my bergara bolt handle is welded!

Looks nice what does it weigh in at? I am shopping for a 300PRC right now and if I see one I like it ends up to heavy. Would like to keep the weight down to about 9 to 10 pounds scoped. What stock is that? How fat is the grip! I have held a few with that style and most would only be good from a...

Wanting specific things out of a cartridge has nothing to do with hunting or shooting. I have tens of thousands of rounds under my finger. I shoot enough deer to get my fill of venison. I have rifles to do anything I need or want done. If I didn't have my 6.5 Creedmoor I would probably have a...

I forgot about the Nosler.

So 3000fps with a 147grn is not feasible in the 6.5 PRC? I have a 6.5 peedmoor and get about 2700ish out of that. Can you do much better handshaking the PRC than factory?

Moose are not that tough. Yes they absorb a lot but they just don't know they are dead. Hit them in the right spot and it's a done deal. I know folks that have used 30/30, 243 win. A 147 grn at 3000fps will do the job. I'll get close and I don't care if it's a trophy. 40 inch plus is good...

I am in the planing stage stage right now. I know what job I want the rifle to do. I am looking for ballistic information as well as action recommendations. Unfortunately my pockets are a bit shallow right now but I can pick away at it this winter. I plan on a light-ish type rifle. Used for...

New guy here. I have two loads for my Ruger Go Wild. 142 smk 42.6 gn of RL17 Federal OTM 120 small pocket brass CCI SRM primers. 20 thou from lands If I remember it's about 2800fps. .75 MOA 140 HOT CORE Same as above. Still playing with seating u It gets the job done.

I use FC small primer brass. I have had better luck with it over Hornady. I am on about 6 firings and primer pockets are. Good. Hornady primer pockets stretched way to early on lighter loads.

8mm = .315 inch

I bought the 6.5 hunter. While it was a better shooter than I am it was too heavy for my uses. 1/2 inch groups with 142 sierra MK and 3/4 with the 143 ELDM when I was having good day. Sold it and got a Go Wild 6.5. Love both rifles Ruger got it right with the American line of rifles.

What is your load that is sticking? What does your case head's look like after firing?

RL17 Is all I use. Loaded everything from 123s to 143s. Good to excellent results. Best was 42.6gn and SGK130 .3 to.5 inch groups

I have about 250 rounds using the 6x24 Argos BTR gen I. I have been able to fully use the magnification range at 100 yards while spotting hits. The glass is just OK but I paid under 300 bucks. The turrets are decent but could be a bit crisper, now don't get me wrong they are not mushy and the...

Please post his contact info

I am late to the party but here is my 2 pennies. I have a 20inch 6.5 C. American Hunter. Using Federal brass,CCI450 and RL17 it shoots the 130GK at 2900ish into .5 to.7 inch groups at 100. This is a warm load I know. I may back of it a tad but it is within the published data. Hornady 140...

I am not the most experienced reloader. Never really tried to be a perfectionist with accuracy. Good and safe is good enough. Now I want to load a better round in my 6.5 Ruger Magpul hunter. My last 6.5 was a Franken AR10. It did ok with minimal effort. I had issues with short primer pocket...
