[QUOTE="Sam Pace, post: 2039399, member: 110365"] I think you're gonna love this rifle. I built mine and shot it last summer. I drank the 6.5 PRC coolaid and it was delicious and refreshing! Two Things: One, I'm a reloader, but have not reloaded for this gun yet. Still, somehow, I managed to accomplish my summer goal of consistently striking metal out to and including 2000 yards with this gun. I shoot at the Cameo Shooting Complex near Grand Junction, Colorado. They have an outstanding LR metal range. I hit 2k on my second attempt on an18x24" target. The 6.5 PRC is no joke. And I used 147 gr ELDM Hornady factory ammo to do all of this. My gun loves the ELDX Hunter in 143 grain and really loves the 147 ELDM. They are exceptional. Two, you might want to check with opticsplanet.com for the 147 ELDM projectiles. I grabbed three boxes from them a couple of weeks ago. Now that I have a bunch of spent brass from the factory ammo I'm going to build some for next summer. Anyway, opticsplanet gets some in once in a while and they go pretty quick. You'll have to be persistent to catch them in stock, but they might be a good place to check routinely. Good luck finding the primers. Can't offer any help there. Enjoy the rifle. You'll get the ammo together soon enough. Peace! [/QUOTE]
