7-6.5 PRC

I understand that Berger 180s are the go to bullets for 7PRCW. However Hornady ELDM 180s and ATIP 190s have superb BC-s and should be as good or even better? Even if the ELDM 180 might not be as consistent as the Berger 180, ATIP-s should be top of the line and just as good if not better in consistency? Has anyone done extensive side by side comparisons?

Why is the Berger 180s "the" bullet choice for 7PRCW? Or have I misread the forums.
Once you have some 180 eldm's blow up on you, you tend not to trust them. Heavy 7mm bullets are for hunting and f-class. You lose 1 bullet in an fclass match and you lost, no recovering. Bullet blows up hunting and you're obviously hosed, you probably won't even realize what happened, you'll be all screwed up trying to figure out where your round went and looking for somewhere to check your zero. They are just too big of a liability. The 180 hybrid is just a super accurate bullet, very consistent. BC is nice to have, but very few other heavy 7mm bullets shoot as well as them, including the atip. As a bonus, they have an excellent reputation as a hunting bullet.

Thats just awful!

I still remeber a middle school sceince teacher chewing out some kids for standing with their arms at their sides and not saying the pledge. He chewed their ass up one side of the room.and down the other. Last time they did that when he was around anyway.

Now if you yell at some kids like that their parents come yell at you. "You have no right to talk to my child that way." It all the teachers and schools fault though. 🤣🤣🤣

Probably told this story before, but worth a repeat. My hometown was mainly hispanics and whites. When I was in High School there were two kids with questionable immigrant status and didn't speak a word of English. Wanna know what their first English words were they learned and recited everyday? The Pledge. Keep in mind I'm only 35 so it's wasn't all that long ago I was in High School. My how public schools changed. Thank God for homeschooling nowadays. 🇺🇸

Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

I’ll give it a shot today. I plan on sending a lot of rounds down range
I find a super light trigger is counter productive to shooting tiny groups off a bipod. On a Farley front with 15lb rear bumblebee bag, 2-4oz triggers are nice. Using a bipod and rear bag/beanbag, a single stage sub12oz trigger gives me some issues.

Thats just awful!

Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

55 inch pounds on scope rings?

That is high...18 to 20 inch pounds is max on a Vortex scope. Get a different scope on it, and tighten the rings to 18 inch lbs.

Take the scope off the rifle you shot a .33" group, and install on this one.

The rings can be lapped for more grip.
Arc mounts are different than conventional rings, hence the "unusually high" torque. I've got several proof barrels, steel and carbon, and they all shoot. I've got a steel proof on an ai in 6.5creed that is wicked accurate with 140 and 147 eldm. Try some handloads with the eldm .025 off rifling and report back. Your rifle has alot of nice components and shoot fantastic. I also second shooting without can/bare muzzle. That will atleast rule out harmonic/near baffle strike or disruption of projo.

LOL. They will the ones making it happen.
I think they were onboard when they didn’t have any say. Now they are in front of the camera and being taken seriously “it’s my turn”.

All politicians know they get 1 maybe 2 shots at it. AOC isn’t giving up her spot and wasting all the political cap she gained the last 6 months.
