Hey thanks for that, yep 1.6" for scope but usually makes little difference.

Changing BC to 0.571 and keeping 3130fps gave same result pretty much, dead on 10MOA for 600y.
Sorry Hornady states 0.604 for that speed range and if you use that and 3130 you get bang on 10 moa in strelok.
They've got the expanded bcs here

Yes sorry I meant 608y.
Great work , the Mtn gear bipods look really good. Are you happy with it ? I’m currently using a carbon premium nz one but it doesn’t have the range of movement that the mtn does.
Yes, can't see how it could do more than what it does now. Had the backlanz and that is good too, but I prefer the mtngear one.
Looks like Litz is spot on with my real world test at 608y.

Reshot the Tikka 6.5PRC in 24 degrees today with a Swaro Z5 on it. Reloader 26 is proving very stable from the single digit winter weather when last shot.
A mate had his new Tikka in the same caliber - different model - and it had been bore sighted by H&F Timaru. Photo shows his first 3 shots, not far of 0.5MOA. He is shooting Hornady factory 143gn ELDX ammo and from his 22" barrel we got 2800fps. It will speed up as the barrel breaks in.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d21e0df618.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...787310f743.jpg
Here's a 9rd group I got with mine a couple weeks back. Shooting 130gr VLD's over AR2217 at about 3150.

More 6.5 PRC questions.
I'm going to have a chance at Samba deer in the next little while, ranges could be up to 300 yards and as close as 20 yards.
I have a good accurate load with the 143 grain ELDX already, should I sort a mono load for Samba or will the ELDX be fine for shoulder/quartering towards and away shots? I have only shot a red spiker with this load so far and the bullet performed well.
