Thread: Some thoughts on 6.5 PRC

well said Mikee..well said indeed
130grn 270w loads USED to be loaded to 3140fps that got dropped to closer to 3000 some time back
folks have been poking 140 and lately the 145s out over 3000fps for ever
some 150grn loads are getting up there too,but its been knee capped forever without fast twist rates to stabilise heavier pills unless they are blunt

reinvent the wheel comes to mind.

I recall reading article from older NZFS culler working at mt cook shooting tahr with a .222 in a oddball rifle,BSA I THINK was a 308 action with altered mag n bolt...10 shot mag.. but because it was such a strong action he was loading waaay hotter than normal....
always stuck in my memory and now there are some bizzare new ideas out there to up pressure limits via different case designs.
