6.5 PRC - 01/14/20 01:03 AM
Anyone have one if so how which rifle and how do you like it. Ballistics seem to be as good or better than the 264 win mag. You can get a Ruger American chambered in this round which should be a quite accurate flat shooting deer killing rifle with the Hornandy precision Hunter 143g ELDX with a muzzle velocity of 2960 fps. Not sure how recoil is with this round but should be less than a 270. Anyone have an opinion on this round.

I have a Savage High Country. It has no recoil at all but it has a muzzle break. The 143g ELDX has not impressed me. I have shot 2 deer and neither bullet has exited. Overall I love the gun. I am gonna see if I can find a lighter grain bullet. The 129g SST in the 6.5 Creedmoor is a deer thumping round.
Are you sure you can get a Ruger American chambered in 6.5 prc?

Check EuroOptic they have the Mauser M18 in 6.5 PRC for less than $500
Cool. That is the first I have seen that, but it only makes sense that they would chamber it.
Buy a .264 get dies and 7828 powder 24 26 inch Barrell itl smoke the prc.
