I have a 300PRC with 1-8 twist, I am shooting the 225 ELD Match and it shoots tiny groups. I have not shot it past 100 yards, however, what I am told with my 10MOA Murphy precision base and my VX6HD 3-18x44 scope it has the potential to shoot 1450 yards with a lot of variables. The PRC was...

if you want a 7mm PRC you should build it. I have a 300PRC and I love it!

I carry a Glock 20 10mm when archery hunting in Montana. I have heard stroys about the 45acp not penetrating deep enough on a grizzly bear. The 45acp is fat and slow is what I was told, and the 10mm is a little smaller in diameter and quite a bit faster. I use 200 grain or heavier full 10mm...

Yes, I put the boxing up on hold. Yeah, I did swab the chamber good the last time I cleaned it with a chamber swab. Which I did not have in my previous cleanings. I may need to get one of the borescopes, I seem to always wish I had one for one reason or another.

I found an old box of Hornady 30 cal. 110 grain .308 round nose bullets, which I have no idea where I got them, but the projectiles slide in and out of the fired 300 PRC brass easily.

Yes, I did clean it before shooting it the first time, and it was pretty dirty. I have been doing exactly how it says to do on break-in on the CA website. Shoot two 3 shot groups and clean completely until there is no blue copper residue on the patch. The bullets in the picture were done prior...

Actually, I just got it out of the safe to box it up and I cycled a couple of the 212 ELDX live rounds, and they both cycled very smooth and I did not see the marks on the bullet this time? I am a little confused. The bullets I took a pic of were before I went and shot it and cleaned it last...

The barrel of this gun was dirty out of the box. I Figured they test-fired it.

Well, you may be right.

Yep, that is what the owner's manual says also. If any alterations are done to the gun that is not done by Christensen, it voids the waranty.

No problem, I appreciate your advice. The bullets were not loaded from the mag box they were fed into the action single shot. and it made those striations on the bullet from the rifling the live rounds are a little hard to chamber and eject as well.

Jeepers! Sounds like they are hit and miss.. I may be better off taking it to a smith and having them re throat it. What good is a warranty if they do not fix it? Seems like a pretty good platform... For $1900, plus Murphy precision titanium base, Zeiss rings and the new Vx6 HD 3-18x 44 I have a...

Ok, thanks

Yes, something does seem to be off with that to me also but was also told that that is just where the rifling started in the chamber. although if the throat was cut concentric to start with it looks like to me anyway, that there should be no reason for there to only be rifling right at that one...
