The PRC seems to be a shooter

[YZ-80]

Went to the range today after a bit of a comedy of errors at the bench. When I bought the Tikka T3X, I grabbed a box of Hornady factory loads to break it in a bit and form fire some brass (was waiting for my Nosler brass). Anyway, in another episode to be added to my long list of failures, I made a rookie mistake and crushed 8 pieces at the shoulder junction when I seated them. The Nosler brass had come in that day so I said to hell with it, I'll do a mini-ladder with virgin brass (5 shots each). I'm running a 130 Sierra Gamechanger on H1000 (suppressed). I was gonna hang the magnetospeed on it but will load some more up and go to back to the range with my buddy this weekend. He just got one of those Garmins. Here's a couple groups.

Any chance you could run the magneto speed along with the garmin to see how velocities match up?

YES, Both the Tikka Rifles and, the 6.5 PRC cartridge, are very Accurate !
My grandson, is getting 1/2 MOA accuracy out of his Savage 110 Lite Hunter ( the Proof Barrelled, Model ) in 6.5 PRC at, 3,085 FPS with, 140 gr. Elite Hunters, StaBall HD powder and,.. "Thrown", Charge's.
Tikka's are great shooting rifles with, Minimal $$$'s of, "Fix up", needed !

I probably won't because I really don't like to shoot for accuracy with the bayonette hanging off the supressor. That's what is so nice about the Garmin. There are a couple of videos out there on this very topic and it looks like the variance between the 2 is pretty negligable.
