    6.5 PRC - What's everyone doing reloading wise?

    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 ?
