Thread: N565 & R26 in 6.5PRC - anyone using it?

Shot a Fallow doe at 279 yards. Didn't dial and just aimed dead on. Sighted in for 200 yards
The person with me, using my 7-08 with 140 SST and sighted in at the same distance did exactly the same on its mate.

Both hit in the crease. Both severed the heart.

Between the 2 the only difference was that the 7.08 hit lower by about 6", and the PRC 6.5 Berger shredded the heart more. The 6.5 Berger didn't exit, the SST did.

Nothing conclusive except you can kill 'em with either.

The M18 was nice to shoot and handle. Everything works. The 6.5PRC is very mild to shoot (with a DPT magnum suppressor). I need to try it on a proper sized Red.
