[QUOTE="Tucker65, post: 2300352, member: 13818"] I've put four 6.5 prc's together now on long actions. I used Alex Wheeler's revision 2 reamer to deal with the sizing issues people were having. Factory Hornady 143 eld-x ammo shot 1/2 moa in all four rifles. Rifles were built to 7.5 twist barrels to shoot 156"s Berger's. With Re-26 they are pushing them right at 3000 fps in 24" Proof barrels. Accuracy with the Berger's has been great with all rifles shooting groups 2" or less at 500 yards. Even had one group that was just under an inch at 500 yards with one of the rifles. I did have to mees around getting two of them to feed out of a Wyatt's box while the other two feed flawlessly out of Hawkins Hunter detachable magazines. Other than that they've been great rifles.
