Long time lurker around here. I've been going back and forth about getting a new competition rifle in 6.5CM to start participating in PRS and similar rifle games. After a bunch of research I decided to go with a MPS BA PMR Pro Rifle II in 6.5CM. I was mentioning this in a group of shooters I know and one of them commented that unless I reload I'll never get to the full potential of this rifle. To him it was a waste of money and I'd be better served with a lower cost option like a Bergara or something similar.
I've tried to reload before and owned a Dillon 550B, but it just wasn't for me. I didn't enjoy it and in the end I sold the entire setup during Covid for a profit. So for me I'll most likely be shooting 140gr or 147gr ELD Match ammo out of this Rifle. I'd try a bunch of brands to see what works best as a start.
So my question is whether people agree with my friend or would you feel confident using factory ammo in the MPS and be competitive?
Thanks
