Anybody know if Prime, Hornady or anyone else is going to be offering factory ammo for the 6GT?
- Thread starter PinesAndProjectiles
- Start date
Clay’s Cartridge company is but be prepared for $$$
Also Copper Creek $$$
Just got my new action and currently went 6CM for a barrel but if there's 6GT available then maybe I'll swap this barrel!
I may have a thought on what you're going to say, but I'll keep my yap shut until then.
I had really good results today this is moving forward,
I have details to translate, the weather was crappier than this picture lets on, so no video today. Will have to come back under better conditions
I had 12 - 18MPH with sustained at 14-16MPH, but the results were great. The target stand was swaying a bit so the final group is strung vertically from the movement, but still pretty good. I had a solid inch of sway happening
More to follow, chrony numbers, etc,

Thanks for the info, Frank! I'm definitely ooking forward to chrony numbers.
Can you tell us what bullet they are using?

Nice I can't wait for Prime to get more of this GT ammo out there. Are you still loving your Manners PRS-TCS? I have one on order... but ETA 6 months.
I'd assume 105 and 115 RDFs like the 6br and 6creed
Just using 115s RDFs right now,
Copper Creek 110 A-Tip Load
Prime 115gr RDF Load
I tested two different boxes of Prime, both were nearly identical.
Box 1 : 2875fps Average with an SD 13.2
Box 2 : 2885fps Average with an SD 13.4
The Copper Creek Load I compared it to is the top image.
Accuracy was very good with both, no issues.

Wow almost half the SD compared to the Copper Creek load.
Bunch of customers testing the recipe before it goes public really helps
Those are solid numbers for a factory load and both boxes I tested were the same

tag for later
If Prime is going to start offering factory rounds, might just be enough for me to switch
If they were 105 or 109 Berger’s I’d def have given them a run. Hopefully they release a loading with Berger bullets.
What brass is Prime using?
I shot the Prime yesterday again, great stuff,
The brass is Hornady in the first loads, as it's the only brass really available in bulk

The Prime ran better but at distance both where real close
The numbers on the Prime were better, but hits on steel were hard to say one was different from the other
The Prime SD numbers were lower and the velocity was the same with a heavier bullet

Any idea when Prime will start selling? I guess maybe the 2021 Group Buy.
Awesome. Looking forward to joining in.
Did the group buy come to fruition or did the whole Covid put the kabash on it?
