What's everyone's thoughts?
It'll shoot mint. Inherently accurate caliber, famously accurate barrels.
Yep can't go wrong with a tikka.
Go bigger, ive got a 6.5prc but with the lack of components i wish i got a bigger magnum with better availability
What can't you get seems to be plenty of 147 ELDM and Adi powder around.Quote:

or the option to go 300 PRC
A friend tells me the 6.5prc seems to shoot slow speeds compared to others . Maybe they might wear in . Who knows

Only really ADI now because Steve just landed a bunch. That won't last long. Not too sure on cases but the primers are the hard part. Basically no Large Rifle or Large Rifle Magnum primers in the country currently.Quote:

Dies arrived today, projectiles coming tomorrow, powder I have fron my rem mag loading days, primers in the cupboard.
Just got it back from the smith, shortened to 20 inches and a Hardy suppressor on the end.
Somebody posted a little while ago in the reloading section, along the lines of shoot what you can get hold of and not to get caught up in only shooting your favorite stuff.Quote:

I am okay currently, primers on the other hand!Quote:

Mines going good, just a typical tikka. Like the calibre a lot, have shot over 40 deer with it now out to 550 metres.
Definitely slower than stated with factory ammo, which I am still using as I have a lot to get through before I start reloading.
Hey what of the 150+ grain projectiles are performing best on deer?? (In factory or reloads)
