    Picking out a 6.5 cartridge

    I have a friend that has a 6.5 PRC. It is a fantastic shooting rifle. Recoil not to bad. My friend shoot a 300 yard group at just under 1 inch. Pretty darn good. I have a 6.5x284 that shoots a 130 nosler accubond at 1/4 inch all day long . Good luck. Just my opinion

    If the gun shoots well, I don't really care what it looks like

    Having hell with my new 300win

    I have used the 165 & 180 nosler ballistic tip s. Reloader22 . OAL3.410 in my Ruger . Nothing but great accuracy. The charge is 75.0 of R22. Mild recoil for a win mag. Be safe. Load has shot well in numerous rifles tried in. Be safe and work up to it. You will not be disappointed!!!!

    Highly Reduced loads?

    Bullet data if H4895 used for that bullet use 60percent of max charge. You can call hodgdon if you don't believe me. I have done with a 7mm-08 and a 243. Both loads were 1/2 moa at 100yards

    When do you stop chasing accuracy?

    My friend has one. He shoots the 147 eldx with 56.2 of R26 a length of 2.970. Says it shoots well.

    270 Winchester, 6.5-06, or 25-06 Fast Twist Deer Rifle

    I inherited a 6.5x06. it's an absolute tack driver. With 140 to 160 weight bullets. It's on a thumbhole stock. I am left handed and it's right handed. Built on a Mauser action with an ER SHAW BARREL 26 INCHES LONG AND FLUTED. CALL THEM AND ASK. IT would probably run around 1500

    Caliber Creep

    The 270 built by ER SHAW I believe is second to none. I own one and it has helped me kill whitetails in PA out to over 700 yds with one shot and down with 150 Sierra Game King. The price is right for sure and it is AN EXCELLENT RIFLE. GOOD LUCK AND GOOD SHOOTING!!!
