• Watch Out for Scammers!

    We've now added a color code for all accounts. Orange accounts are new members, Blue are full members, and Green are Supporters. If you get a message about a sale from an orange account, make sure you pay attention before sending any money!

When we’re all is these orders that are being received placed? Was this for the group but that just recently ended?
 
What's been the general Turn Around from time of purchase to shipping?

It was 4 months like they quoted for me. I made my order toward the end of April but gb didnt close until May which would be the date they would start production...but with this covid bs happening it doesnt surprise me that it took that long though with supply chains being backed up and such.
 
I got my 6.5CM today. Ordered on 5/29. Well within their promised lead time. Well done, Jim & Frank. Thanks again!
 
Post them results
22” 6.5creed PVA 8twist proof comp contour. 211 round on the barrel before testing the ammo. Wasn’t grouping so great at 400yds. Not much wind if any.
Obviously my own reloads we’re doing awesome though. I like the speed for a 22“

I'd be in for 6.5 CM and .308, maybe even some .223 if the price was right.
 
Gonna wait and see how the X-mas group buy 6.5 ammo shoots before I go in again.
Any one got more updates on how the 6.5 ammo is shooting in a 1-8 twist 24-26" 5R barrel?

The 130 shot great, about 1/2 moa 2-3/4" @ 547yards from Steyr 8 twist 25" THB. It also likes Hornady 147eldm, but does not do as well with Berger 140. The Berger 140 was 2820fps. Haven't shot the Prime 130over Magneto speed yet, but based on 547 drop it's got to be 2850+

Haven't tried it yet in the ARC rifle 8 twist PVA 5R barrel. I'll definitely by more next group buy.

Haven’t got anything from the last group buy yet, but I’d be in for another case of 6.5, and also 223 if that’s an option.
 
I’d be in for some 300wm 220 pills

Little feedback on the batch just delivered in September.

Tikka T3x Tact A1 in 6.5 CM - stock rifle with 24" barrel. Slight crosswind 5-10 mph at 45-50deg F. 40 rounds on Magneto, one round did not read so 39 recorded in the string. Avg 2723 fps, SD 19.3.

Two 5 round groups at 100yds while tweaking zero were tight, then switched to steel at range. Groups stayed tight out to 800 yds on 12" plate, I had fresh paint on steel but sorry no pics. Not the best SD and a little slow but all in all performs very well in this rifle. Some rounds put some tightness on the bolt felt while ejecting empties, but no signs of pressure otherwise.

First post - absolutely love this site and have been lurking for a long time. I would absolutely be in for at least 600 rounds of 6.5 CM- maybe more. Looks like good stuff!
 
Looks like there is a decent amount of interest, and due to the current ammo shortages everywhere...I’m willing to bet most people would buy more now given the chance than they would during normal times.

So what’s needed to make this happen Somebody from prime need to be contacted?
