    6.5 PRC

    Sounds about right on the recoil. I shot less than 100 rounds of 7saum using h1000 and the buildup was insane. I was breaking large chunks off. I had almost zero build up after more than 1000 rounds of creed with 4350 and a variety of 223 ammo with varget and 335. Never again unless I’m just...

    6.5 PRC

    That sounds like what I’d expect the cartridge to do. How did it shoot though? My biggest complaint with h1000 is how bad it gunks up a suppressor in a hurry.

    6.5 PRC

    The WSM action is the same size as 223 and 308 short actions.

    6.5 PRC

    Which factory ammo? the 143 is what is being talked about as slow. Its a hunting load, advantage being that it would be faster than your typical creed. The 147 loads sound like they are pretty quick, haven't heard anyone here quote 140 speeds.

    6.5 PRC

    Guess I should clarify 143's vs 147's since the 143 was what was mentioned when I responded. Did not try the 147's. 2942 is pretty quick. The 143's shot right at 2900 out of a 24" barrel over a magnetospeed. Had to plug 2875 as velocity in the calculator to make hits when we were shooting at...

    Valkyrie undergassed with +2 system and factory ammo?

    You betcha. Good place to be a redneck and live close to a major metropolitan.

    Valkyrie undergassed with +2 system and factory ammo?

    Now I know what the problem is. You don’t have a suppressor.

    6.5 PRC

    The hornady stuff is surprisingly slow. Barely 50fps faster than a creedmoor. Shoots good though. Copper creeks loads spit them out around 3075-3150 though. They just weren’t amazingly consistent and they were on the hot side causing sticky bolt. This was all shot out of a seekins havak. Rifle...

    Valkyrie undergassed with +2 system and factory ammo?

    I bought the 52s as well hoping I can get them smoking. Already got a ton of 75s from my ai. Really hoping those 52 will smoke because the 60gr factory stuff is too slow. I need a reason to ditch my 20 practical, just haven’t achieved that yet.

    Rifle Scopes Question - Larue QD Mounts, Use On Bolt Guns, and Return to Zero

    I received a larue mount in trade at one point and it was garbage. Would not trust it. Like said above, I had better luck just moving seekins rings.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I got to play around with my boss's 6.5 PRC Havak. Action was rough like most have said when he first got it. I cycled it about 100 times and it fully smoothed up. It runs pretty smooth now. The bedding on the rifle was better than I expected for the price point. I figured it would be just...

    224 Valkyrie or 6.5 Creedmoor Build

    I like mine so far. Not super impressed with factory accuracy or speed, but its got potential. Gonna play around with 75eld's for fun and 50-55gr for coyotes. I think I can get a lot better speeds reloading. Just waiting on dies to come in stock. Barrel is X-Caliber and length is 20"...

    Valkyrie

    No, just straight stainless. They did my 20 prac and it shoots 1/2 moa, so im not too worried about it's potential. Good to know about Alliant. I was going to play with the hodgdon data for the 22 nosler to start. Hoping varget with the 75s can produce good results.

    Valkyrie

    I finally got to shoot mine today. Xcaliber 1-7 20". Fgmm 90s averaged 2645fps over a magnetospeed. 60s averaged 3275fps. 60s shot about .75-8" and 90s shot over an inch.... Looks like I'll be doing some reloading. I think I can get some 50-55gr bullets moving alot quicker for dogs. I need a...

    Suppressors Omega 6.5 flat end cap

    Has anyone fired a 6.5 through the 556 endcap? I looked at opening it up, but it's already at .300"... That's more wiggle room than my SAS Eadrom has for 223...

    Need some SUPER quick answers please on Mossberg MVP LC

    When those MVP's first came out and I was working at a gun counter still, they would break just from customers handling them. I could care less if they shoot ok. The bottom metal snapping, the stocks cracking and the bolt binding before the gun leaves the store are more than enough reason to...

    Rifle Scopes RRS Shipping and Tax Charges Are Really Ridiculous

    My rrs shipping was like $9. Pretty reasonable compared to triad and a few others with $20 shipping even if you're buying a sticker.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    you need to lower your expectation for Cabelas if you think one of their gun counter associates would know anything about a new precision rifle they might be carrying in the future... Even if they were half competent or kept up with new releases of firearms, they most likely are not given...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5xi 5-25x56

    Hmm, you may have some legit issues. I thought you had issues at 100 as well, but looks like you're good to go there. I have the 3-15 that gets me a crisp image at all ranges. As far as total image quality, it will suffer compared to your Razor gen ii for sure. It should be as good or maybe...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5xi 5-25x56

    I've got no clue who you are or what kind of experience you have, so forgive me if you just neglected to put it in your post, or I missed it, but did you mess with your diopter at all? The parallax is marked in meters and you didn't comment on the diopter, so I'm just wondering if you had it set...
