[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1645390, member: 54178"] You bought a 6.5 PRC rifle to take advantage of its faster velocity over say, 6.5 Creedmoor. I'd go with Hornady 143 gr. ELD-X bullets to take advantage of the greater velocity of your cartridge over 6.5 Creedmoor, for example. I will say that your barrel [I]should[/I] have been made with a 1:7 twist to handle the heavier 6.5 bullets that the 6.5 PRC can utilize. Why it has only 1:8 twist is beyond me. Virtually all new 6.5 PRC rifles now have 1:7 twist. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
