[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2028910, member: 36999"] Well bad news is my 6.5 PRC barrel kicked the bucket this weekend less than a week before deer season. My first four shots to finalize my zero for deer season were a 4” horizontal line. Total round count was around 1100 but I started noticing fliers around 900 or so rounds and then the wheels fell completely off. The coincidentally is about the time I started with the Absolute Hammers which explains the accuracy inconsistencies I was seeing. The good news is I bought a spare on sale months ago for just such a situation and switched it at the range to finish my testing. The new barrel shoots the previous load into sub 1/2 MOA after tweaking the headspace to match my sized cartridges. The load is as follows, 24” Proof CF Prefit 123 AH 58.2gr H100V Fired ADG Brass Fed 210M and CCI BR-2 primers 3380 fps with 10 rounds down the barrel. Now that I’ve done some additional testing and realized my barrel was the cause of my issues I’m most likely going to revisit StaBall 6.5 to see what I can get with that. [/QUOTE]
