[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2598401, member: 116620"] I have 7 different 6.5 cal rifles from 6.5 Swede too the 6.5 Prc , 2 of those . and used too have a 6.5-06 1-8 twist . Like yours it was a PITA never could get a load that would duplicate itself , but man it sure educated me , rebarreled it too 6.5-284 , it shoots light out . Then along came the 6.5 PRC easiest cartridge I ever loaded for , and also shoots factory ammo under.075 . I think it is one of the most efficient cartridges of a factory round , I shoot neck and neck with my friends recent 264 win mag he just built . I may be pushing it a little harder but it will hold its own with 10 grs less powder that translates into longer barrel life . The 143 gr eldx would be my choice in a cup and core , maybe accubonds too haven’t tried those , but one thing for sure accuracy wise I can’t beat the Hammer 124, 123, 109 and the 131 gr bullets with V N165 and VN560 . I really think the 6.5 PRC is a great cartridge. [/QUOTE]
