    Thank you jus. I’ll be looking for some bergers one the buy sell opens up to me. I’ve had great success with Berger EOL in 6.5 and great accuracy’s. So I’ll be looking to find some of those 175s

    Range day

    May some time today to get out and try the new rifle out.
    Using factory Hornady 180gr match
    Shot my 1st group at 200 which I’m pretty happy with for factories
    Average 2930fps over 13shots
    Standard deviation:11
    0.408 moa
    Have just over a hundred rounds factory rounds to shoot then I’ll look at reloading and try tighten the group and std up

    Good shooting with a group like that in your rifle… just work out a drop chart, test it, then go hunting with your remaining ammo as that’ll see you right for a while before you need to focus on reloading.

    By then you’ll have a better idea on what you want out of the PRC and hopefully the shortage on reloading components come to an end.

    Thank you,
    Yea that was the plan to make a dope chart test it and use the factories up. I was lucky enough to get 5 boxes of 180s and primers and plenty of powder which should keep me going for a couple of years

    Hopefully it’s here by the time I’m reloading for it.
