Hey Guys,
Soon to be new to the 6.5 PRC family, just waiting for Auckland Level 4 to cease so I can go and pick up my rifle!
Went with a Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Long Range because I wanted a rifle with a stupid long name (not really why I wanted it, but it is a stupid long name)
I know my first limitation is going to be mag length, as this X-Bolt is a Short Action (Browning made some modifications to the Mag so that these rounds would fit.
However, it does have 1-7 Twist 26" Barrel, any benefit ? No idea!
I used my smarts and went on a component buying rampage, knowing that stuff is scarce and the last thing I wanted was a rifle I couldn't use.
I have for starters secured myself:
1x Box of Nosler 140gr Ballistic Tip Ammo - Idea being to start barrel break in, zero and confirm that the rifle is working out of the box. Should in theory be able to confirm sub-moa before moving to reloads.
200x Hornady 143gr ELD-X
50x Virgin Hornady Brass
20x Once Fire Hornady Brass
100x Federal GM210M Primers - Need to find more! Or maybe I just switch to standard 210's.
1kg ADI AR2217
What are others using reload wise ?
Anyone else using this combination of components ?
What results has everyone been getting ?
