First post gentlemen.
I have a fellow who asked me to load develop a 6.5PRC for his X-bolt. He offered to purchase all dies, equipment etc needed in return. I agreed as this is the perfect reason to buy another rifle. I've got 2 custom rifles in 300PRC and 300WM in waiting so this is going to start as a factory and will likely stay as so outside of perhaps a new trigger. Use of my new 6.5 PRC will be 500-1000yrd target and steel. Weight is no concern, will top with Leupold Vx5 or Mark 5 5-25 or similar. Budget is $1200 but I'd push past a few hundered if there's a valid reason for increased accuracy/reliability. This will be shot prone from bipod. Current considerations are as follows:
Sako S20
Christienson Mesa LR
Bergara B14 HMR
Sauer 100 Pantera
Ruger Hawkeye "I like CRF"
Howa 1500 TSP X
I realize there will be concessions but if I can't develop a load inside of 3/4 MOA it will be sold. I have sacrificed a long time creating a repeatable platform for shooting and I know many of you have also, this game is a lifestyle, a release and satisfying only when successful. I would be thankful to see your target performance and load developed if time permits as none of my rifles are fired with factory ammo especially with our current market.
Thanks for your time!
