    6.5 PRC Load Development Begins

    Picked this Tikka Veil Wideland up from James at River to Ranges Rangiora. Great service setting the scope up and trigger too.

    Starting with RE26 and 140gn Berger Hybrids. Might try some 143gn ELDX a mate has offered.

    Got 40 fired Norma brass from James and some new Lapua from Gunworks.

    Will start with CCI LRM primers.

    She is quite a beast after the Kimber Mountain Ascent so a CF stock down the track. Weight is with brake but mag out. Trigger and bolt are slick as. Love it so far.
