[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 2606031, member: 117869"] I bought a 6.5 PRC about 6 months ago after shooting a friends. I was originally looking at the 6.5 CM, but wanted a little extra punch in case I decided to use it for hunting. I waited almost a year to find the rifle I wanted (Ruger Precision Rifle) and 4 months to find brass (Peterson). A few days after getting the rifle, I was fortunate a friend made a trip to Idaho and found two boxes of 20 Hornady loaded 147 ELD-M on a gun store shelf and picked them up for me. I was delighted to find that right out of the box, it shot the factory ammo at just under 0.5 MOA. After getting a muzzle velocity with a LABRadar and plugging the numbers into my Kestrel, I was able to make a first round hit on the 10" bullseye at 1000 yards (the picture used for my avatar). My son also purchased a 6.5 PRC about the same time I did with the intent of hunting Elk and deer with it. [/QUOTE]
