[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2704565, member: 115658"] Expectations for the new 6.5 PRC are sort of excessive. Not a gravity immune cartridge. Same for developed chamber pressures. Clean up barrel with JB and refer to Hodgdon load data with pressures. The throat or leade appears to be sort of rough & uneven as indicated by varying distances of bullet jacket deposits on lands. Try seating bullets back about .003 with factory ammo. Does the fired factory brass allow an easy 6.5 bullet slip fit in to neck? Brass swipe marks might indicate soft brass (not enough work hardening) and primer flattening & little cratering seems to be reasonable - the primers show a reasonable amount of radius and no indications of gas leaks. Check for primer pocket enlargement. If possible, try another make of ammo/brass. [/QUOTE]
