6.5 PRC Load Advice

Greetings all,
This is my first post here; I have searched high and low for answers in the forum and have only partially found what I need... so my apologies if I have missed the answers for my questions... but I don't believe they exists on this forum just yet.

Behold my pride and joy. A gun I do not wish to blow up...😜
It is a semi-custom Tikka t3 with KRG Bravo chassis/stock and a 28" heavy profile 6.5 PRC Barrel screwed on. This action has seen 2 previous barrels (chambered in .308) so this time I have decided to go with a cartridge which can do everything the .308 could do and then a little extra as I intend to occasionally shoot long range 1000m+ (1100 yds+) at steel in windy conditions.
462562790_564284022764032_8605480824627219691_n.jpg
462550977_878283067406799_8250635756105857947_n.jpg


The primary purpose for this rifle will be vermin control on a large sheep and crop farm. Vermin include Foxes, Pigs and Kangaroos. Due to the nature of the terrain at this property shots on animals are usually fairly 'long' range (200-500 meters) so a flat trajectory (with a good MPBR) and enough energy to drop pigs cleanly at these distances is needed. I think this cartridge will do the job nicely.
Now the show and tell is done onto the load development...

The components I have chosen to test initially are;
135gr Berger Classic Hunters
H4831sc (It's called AR2213sc here but I believe they are the same powder)
Into virgin Norma brass.
Primers are surplus Indian Army LR made under contract for the US Military. They are not my first choice but I am led to believe these are good quality so I took what I could get at the time...

The best online load data I could find was from Primal Rights website. He tested this bullet/powder combo from 52-59 grains. He is using Alpha brass which I know is good stuff and can tolerate high pressures compared to Norma brass.
You can find that here

I began testing at 54 grains, bullet seated 0.020 off the lands, and increased the load by 0.5 grains to monitor pressure signs.
6 shot groups due to barrel weight and still having a good 5 shot average if there was ever a flyer...
Shooting at 100m (109yds)

The most accurate loads were at 55.5 and 57.0 grains. I pulled the last shot pretty badly on the 55.5 gr group so if you ignore that one stray it is not a bad group. Red aiming circle is 24mm or just under an inch for reference.

At 55.5 grains I recorded an average speed of 3133 FPS with an ES of 39 fps and 14 fps SD measuring in at 0.511" 5 shots
I did notice slight a "click" on bolt lift but otherwise the case extracted smoothly and had zero visual high pressure signs.
462563282_1309284396727497_7717839510277213290_n.jpg


This "click" did get progressively worse at 56 and 56.5 grains, but with zero visual pressure signs on the brass still I decided to continue with testing.

57 grain was at 3223 FPS with an ES of 20 FPS and SD of 6 FPS. 6 shots came in at 0.472"
Obviously I was stoked at this group and es/sd combo... however I decided to halt further testing because the bolt click had gotten unacceptable. The brass still looked good to me, although there was very slight flattening of primer with no cratering around the firing pin mark. I did notice some marks at the web of the case, not cracks or obvious defects but more so a mirror image of the inside of the chamber? Im assuming the case is expanding excessively at the web and sticking inside the chamber? Hence the click..
However after measuring fired brass and unfired brass the expansion seems within acceptable limits?

Sorry for the abundance of information so far, but I appreciate it if you're still with me. Now onto my questions...

-Is the bolt click that I am experiencing a sign of high pressure? Considering the lack of visual pressure signs on the brass.
-Do you consider these speeds to be within safe tolerances in a 6.5 PRC given bullet weight and barrel length?
-What kind of speeds is everyone else getting if they are using a similar load?
-Is the bolt click normal? I know that some chambers are on the "tighter" end of tolerances than others and this is a known issue with some PRC cartridges, with the "solution" being a modified reamer which opens the rear most portion of the chamber up slightly.
-Does this reamer actually fix an issue or just mask bolt click as a pressure sign?
-Is 3200 Fps+ too fast for a 6.5mm barrel?

I am not trying to load for absolute speed here but I want to find a happy medium between precision, bullet energy, maintaining a high MPBR and utilising the potential of the cartridge hence the long barrel. If having that extra 100fps velocity comes at too much of a cost such as flogging the barrel out way sooner than necessary then I will settle on the slightly slower and larger group. Having said that the rifle and cartridge have proven to be high performance so far and I want to use this performance but not at the cost of safety or drastically reduced brass and barrel life. (That shits expensive and getting a new barrel here isn't that easy)

I understand there are so many variables at play so feel free to ask for any more information if you feel I have left some out. I don't have any photos of the fired brass on hand but can take some if you think that will help.

Cheers
Bongy

Aero Precision customer service sucks

I bought a Atlas S-1 handguard. Go to install it and it does not fit over my superlative gas block (gas block groove too narrow on the atlas). Well during the install it got scratched due to it not fitting so I can not return it to the retailer. The superlative is a low profile gas block. Nowhere on the Aero Precision webpage does it say it won't fit. So I called them up and the guy tells me it will not fit and there is nothing he can do and tells me to sell it on ebay or armslist at a loss.

You would think they would support their product and try to keep a customer happy. I asked if they would take this one back and send me a regular handguard. The atlas costs more so this would be to their advantage as they could sell it as a blem for the same money the enhanced handguard costs.

Buyer Beware the atlas will not fit all gas blocks.

Tightest Lockup Receiver Set

Looking to spend $300-$500 for a matched receiver set for a precision build. Okay with both forged and billet.

I've run tension screws in the past, they're fine, but I'm looking for a bit more solid lockup.

I've looked at centurion and JP for forged. Rainier for billett. Haven't looked at much beyond this.

What are your recommended matched sets? What has solid lockup? Please specify if it was forged or billett.

Are ALL navy veterans SEALs or just the ones I meet?

Are all veterans now SEALs? 🦭 🤔

  • Yes and thank them for their service and buy their book

  • lol. Yeah, sure they are.


Results are only viewable after voting.

Holy Phuck balls. Maybe it’s me but it seems the last 5 guys I’ve met have all claimed to be NAVY SEALs. I’m not even asking, I’m not displaying ANY military stuff. They just come right up to me and it starts off.

Oh blah blah blah told me you were in the service. I just wanted to come over and tell you how I was a SEAL and I got blowed up so that’s why I’m 260lbs of man flab.

I’m like “yeah man, I served as a nothing, doing nothing, I just needed money for college”

Then I let them talk, oh how they talk. They talk about EVERYTHING name dropping names like I even know these people. Idk anyone. Like I said I didn’t do anything, anywhere for anyone.

I just tell them I pushed a muffin cart at the Naval Hospital 😏

I usually thank them for their cervix then laugh about it with guys I know who were on the teams.

Here’s the rub, they guys I know who were 100% on the teams never talk to ME about anything and they don’t need to. I’ve heard a few stories about the training. Enough to know how to spot a fake.

I used to think it was a horrendous crime against our brothers who stood up, raised their hand and willingly sought that life. Turns out they are VP material not criminals.

If you are a stolen valor Phuck like VP hopeful Tim I hope you stub your pinky toe today, tomorrow and the next day.

Next SeAL I meet telling me silly stories I’m posting your pic online.

Rifle Scopes Bubble level for ZCO

What are people using for a bubble level on a ZCO. Making a chassis change and will need to add a bubble level. Not sure if I want to stomach the cost of the electronic SendIt but have seen how great they are, also not sure if I can get away with a rail mounted option like a HopticUSA that is low profile and can be adaptable on different rifles and different tube sizes.
Been out of the bubble level game for a few years and not sure what to be looking at!
