I got one in Stalker Long Range 6.5 CM. Absolutely shoots lights out. Clover leaf at 200. Thinking about buying another in 7mm. Changed the trigger though. Had to replace trigger with a Timney.

I have reloaded for 7mm Rem Mag before for bolt action before and have had great success with H1000. With the bolt action I had enough room in the mag to make the round long enough to be .010 off the lands and had great success with that load. The Browming BAR has zero room for an extended round...

Try the Nikon FX1000. 6-24x50 I have had 2 of them and they have been Rock solid. 24oz. Has Zero Stop as well The only limited factor is 60 MOA elevation. I had it on a 20 moa rail and could dial past 1000 meters

I was one of those guys that “ I got an app on the phone and I’m good to go” especially since I had a wind meter already. Fought it kickin and screaming the whole way. Did a shooting course and really learned what that kestrel can do. It’s a no brainer now. I wouldn’t think of shooting...

I have to agree. Went through the same thing with my rifle. Bang on for the 1st 400 yds then it went haywire. The Kestrel fixed it though. Did the muzzle validation and used the custom pre loaded AB bullet profiles and not the G7 That fixed everything right out to 1000 yds. And I mean it’s...

I would say you have it dialed in. Same load for me as well. 41.8 grains. .025” off the lands on an xbolt. It will clover if I can hold it straight. Lol. Only get it once if 10 shoots. 2800fps on a warm day.

Just finished doing a long range precision course and hands down get the Kestrel 5700 with the link. It has all the custom Applied Ballistics curves for any bullet out there and initial programming is easy. The power of the kestrel starts with the muzzle validation and then the Drop scale...

I’m with you on the Nikon. But my pick is the FX1000 with FFP zero stop. 6-24 x 50 mm. I stumbled across this puppy was I was trying to get some cost savings and I can honestly say it’s sweet. It’s in the $700 range and it’s really a $1200 scope. I’m not sure why it is a a cheap as it is...

My 2 cents Just finished a long distance shooting course. First thing brought up when reviewing optics was “is anybody shooting with a Vortex”. It was brought up as they have had many students show up with their rifles with Vortex scopes which have then failed during the course. They didn’t...

Time for a quick poll. How many haters out there for the 6.5 CM have ever owned one or better yet developed a load for one? I have been converted on this as well..... I actually went out and bought one and tried it. Seems silly I know but best to speak from experience don’t you think? It’s...

Well what I have told anybody looking into developing a reloading system and are new to it is to go to you tube and look up Ryan Pahl. It gives a lot of great info that will answer a lot of questions. The guy goes from knowing nothing to becoming a PRS shooter. I doubt if that is your goal...

The 6.5CM indeed has been getting its fanfare that’s for sure. I have had 223, 270’s, 300WM’s, 308’s, 7mmRM, 50BMG’s, 6.5 PRC’s, and all have been awesome guns but the 6.5CM has been hands down the easiest rifle I have ever loaded for and the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. I have bought...

I’m just going from what I have heard from a local gunsmith and he had me told me that carbon fiber is not any stiffer than steel in the same thickness which is why they have to make the barrel so much thicker to get it be as stiff as a carbon barrel. Otherwise why wouldn’t they make as thin as...

Count me in with the Lab Radar boys. It’s the only way to go. I actually had one of those light sensor jobs from RCBS and shot through it at the same time having a lab radar on the bench. The lab radar is some thing like .5% accurate and the RCBS is +\- 10%. When it was cloudy the RCBS was...

I just went through this dilemma about a month ago. Went with the Fierce Edge. It came with the factory target that was basically a cloverleaf. Took it home and through a scope on it. Went to the range and yes it shoots less than 1/2 MOA with factory Hornandy 6.5 PRC ELD-M. I’m even debating...
