Sweet looking forward to shooting them. Have you had much experience with them on deer and tahr? I’ve never shot the hornady match. I’ve shot alot of Berger target loads and wouldn’t recommend on game

The 180s hit like a brick, was punching holes through the gong at 200y and seem em sack heaps of deer.

Thats a nice rifle.

Funny, I have loads of rifles shooting heavy pills and I have a hankering for a 6.5 shooting lighter pills now.

A couple of my rifles are based on T3s and they make very good actions for semi-custom builds. Mine have the small transition on the front of the receiver machined off about 100 thou' and a recoil lug fitted on the barrel shank with the same profile as the receiver, which makes bedding much easier.

My riflesmith in the US told me that he has never seen a T3 action that needed truing and he doesn't know why they are not more popular for non-factory builds.

Enjoy shooting yours. My 7RM shoots the 180s at 2840 fps, which I think is fast enough with the BC they have, with a mild load and they flatten whatever they hit.

175 elite hunter Berger’s leave a fist size exit hole out of my 20” 7 prc, 2830 fps. Shot deer out to 460 yards with them. Very dead, very quick very accurate
