A 130 RDF should be able to get 3200 on the high end and the BC is that of a 140 class bullet. I’ll take a 6.5 PRC over a barrel smoker.Just was thinking out loud, of the goal was a round that fit into a SA, used a common bolt face and crowded the 3150 speed limit, shouldn't it have been a 6PRC?

So I can run them out past 2.90 oal.Just out of curiosity, why go with the PRC if you are going to go with the longer action/mags?
Can’t wait for my PRC.

We all need to get together and pressure Alpha Munitions to make 6.5 PRC Brass!!
I keep posting on Alpha’s social media to make 6.5 PRC. They’re not going to make that brass until there’s a following behind it. Something like creedmoor was a no brainer for them. We all need to get together and make PRC a no brainer. I think Alpha would be the most willing brass manufacturer to get behind it. They seem more in tuned to shooters and their demand.Sounds like a badass build! And yes, I agree we all need to be pressuring brass makers to support the PRC. I have already sent emails to Alpha and Peterson asking about it, as well as Forster and Whidden concerning dies. Unfortunately, they all replied "not at this time" but that could change with demand. Lets keep it up!
What twist are y’all running? I was thinking 1-7.5 26” barrel to run the factory 147eld ammo
I’m counting the days. I have 2 being built both w 1-7 twist.
Barrels are cheap. A 147 @ 3150 or !50 @ 3100 sounds fun Lol (28 inch barrel )
Are you finding lots of velocity loss w the shorties?
Lets know how you like that scope too. I am considering one.Well she’s done and scope mounted. I got some factory 143 and 147 coming in next week so hope to get to accuracy check it. Just wish I had a chrono to see what speeds look like.

What are the specs? That looks really good.Might have to try retumbo in the future when mine is done.

I'm up to 3003fps now with 58.6 H1000 out of a 24" Bartlein TL3. Very happy.
Just curious what is the weight w the proof? Is that a 1-8? I wish Proof would offer a 1-7 twist!!
Defiance / 28" bartlein w/ .130 freebore, 147's @ .030 off.
54gr RL26 @ 2900 FPS
55.5 RL26 @ 2990 FPS
57gr RL26 @ 3060 FPS.
Only 8 rounds through the gun so far so I'm sure things will speed up, but no ejector marks, flat primers, heavy bolt lift or any issues at 57gr. Shouldn't be too bad off of a barricade, and should be a monster shooting prone. Definitely need to wear double ear pro with the 419 brake, it's LOUD.

I was just talking w my smith about reamers and .188 FB is now recommended for the 147/150. I guess the .130 FB jams the longer bullets @ 2.950 OALWho did the chamber work for you interested in throated/ freebore 6.5 prc

I know from what guys are reporting on Fb the .130 Fb w factory 147 load has higher velocity but the bolt closes hard.After speaking to Mark at SAC he throated mine to have a .055 jump at factory coal for the 147’s. Apparently they have seen the 147’s respond really well to jump between .050-.070 and .080-.090
Still yet to shoot mine, just overloaded with work and home life. I’m curious to seewhat speeds I get as I was hoping for a shorter jump to increase pressure and maybe get a little more velocity with the factory 147’s and a 22.5” barrel
Nice. What projectile?
