[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2904389, member: 109378"] I have a 6.5 PRC I bought off the shelf in a Browning White Gold Medallion, blonde maple stock, stainless octagon barrel—a beautiful rig which is frankly why I bought it—I just wanted it. Went on line and purchased a couple boxes each of ALL the factory ammo. Ran it all across the chrony. 142 gr nosler Accubond LR shot best-.5 MOA, all the rest—142 Norma bondstrike, 143 Eld-X, 140 Sierra TGK, 147 NBT and 156 EOL all shot a tad under MOA, so two thumbs up. Factory was a bit slower than loading manuals indicate but still respectable 2850 with the NABLR. I had originally zeroed the riffle with Hndy precision 143 ELD-X and the 10th round out of the rifle dropped an old cull buck at 125 yds. So bottom line—a great cartridge off the shelf with factory ammo—grab and go…no fuss, no muss, don’t really need a load work up but…you know I’m a little OCD like that, so I’ll be doing that later. For now…I was really impressed with both rifle and cartridge—it’s a DRT, Thor’s hammer. [/QUOTE]
