Tikka T3x 6.5 PRC

I just got this back last week & took it up the range yesterday in the wind.

It is an ex 300 Win Mag T3x with a T3 stock & 24" #RM Bartlein 1-8 barrel with 5/8x24 thread

I put one of my suppressors on it for load development.

I got a reamer to see how the 6.5 PRC would preform & so far I'm pretty impressed :cool: I hope the 300 PRC I have coming is the same :)

It shoots the Hornady ammunition pretty well too :)

The rifle is built & away getting coated, might have it this week :)

I took it up the range today to try some more projectiles, seemed to like the 150 SMKs :)

Pretty impressed with it :)

that's a good hustle for 150 grains. I like the look of the 300 PRC too.

I should know how that goes next weekend :)

Hey Greg, do you personally shoot all these groups prone or off a bench? Or are the rifles locked in a setup like you muzzle break testing? Excellent looking rigs, and performance regardless..

Off a bench on a bit of plywood with a spiked bi-pod & soft rear bag

I've just always done it like that, could close the groups up by using a proper rest or sand bags up the front.

I always zero my hunting rifles prone off the bipod in the dirt or grass because its closest to how they get used in the field

Good stuff[emoji106] that's basically the same setup I use.. But I can't consistenly manage one ragged hole yet!

What would you expect from one of these in a 22" barrel.
I would love a 6.5 that would do 3000fps from a 20" with 143ELDX.
As my .260 does 2860fps so would need to be 3000fps to be an improvement.

Not as yet.

On a positive note my new Labradar along with my old one constantly reads around 20-25 FPS faster than my Oehler 35P so velocity increase for nothing there :thumbsup:

Are you running a magnum suppressor on the PRC ?

I'm also interested in performance with 22 inch barrel .......your latest 284win was hauling ass and making small holes with 22inch tube.....which calibre .......hmmmmm.
