I saw that GunWerks has PRC brass a little cheaper than Bertram......
HEY?! I love my 6.5 Creedmoor's. I just picked another at the Cabelas sale! It'l most likely be a 25 Creedmoor whenever X-Caliber get's a reamer?! I hunt with BIG BOY 7's & 30's. Target/comp shoot with 6 and 6.5.Again, we all know that jasonco and mud are head-over-heels in love with all of hornady's 6.5mm cartridges.They know they are not worthy of them, and that is why they are bashing them.
I'm still contemplating a 6.5 PRC, because I like simple cartridges that do what they're supposed to with no fuss at the bench (the most I'l deal with is necking up/down that's it). From my point of view, because I already have a 6.5X284 Norma, they're close enough to be even Steven. Now if I didn't have a faster 6.5, I'd be all up in the 6.5 PRC! I just want real world numbers, as I was looking at the Ruger Hawkeye LR Target, before I take the 6.5 PRC Koolaid Challenge?

Hopefully I'll have a new v3 soon and I'll post up some 24" numbers. I'm hoping my monster can adds a few FPS too

Sorry I thought the other thread you put up about the elk kill was to bash the creedmoor.

Blackjack Bullets already has reamers...And bullets...And barrel blanks.
Oh no! I don't bash cartridges, just the "improper" use of them. That was $h!t that I happened to come, while I was getting my 2019 big game draw tags put together. It was like a stupid car wreck, that you can't take your eyes away from and you end up just ****ed at it! I didn't want subject to that video, but it was like a PSA for us all.
I was set to go that route, until I started adding it all up, and I would have been right at $1k for just the barrel, reamer and smith labor, I'l wait? I'm not a fan of buying reamers, did that with 7STW & 358STA.Blackjack Bullets already has reamers...And bullets...And barrel blanks.
I am thrilled to have PRC brass available. I plan on filling my Remage trinity thusly...
7mm Practical (done) .338 RUM, and tada ...257 PRC. Before the PRC brass I was scratching my head trying to work around not having to buy an extra bolt (M700). We should all be thrilled that we have so many choices even if they aren't all the choices we would make.

Fun read! Alamo Precision is making a rifle for me in 6.5 PRC on one of their long action hunter actions. Looking forward to getting it and working up some loads this summer. Will probably try the Hornady ELD-X 147's and the new Berger 6.5 EOL's with RL26.

AH, THE MYTHICAL PIXEY DUST. Been waiting for it to come in at my preferred gun store as I have a wad of $ on a gift card there. I use it for 3 different calibers and it just plain works for all of them. I used the last of my H1000 on the 6.5PRC loads the other day and they were accurate and consistent but I really want the RL26. Hope the snatch and grab hoarding settles down and stocks settle down fairly soon. Thank you all for the info on good brass; just starting to learn the art of long range shooting and want to know my limits with each rifle before mid October. Lots of fun work to be done! Thanks to all for the help!

Man, that's a good looking GSP pup in your picture. Always wanted one that was roan and liver like that. Had a weimaraner and bunch of labs and a golden retriever, but I think the next one will be either a rottweiler, dogo argentine, or cane corso.
