That little 6.5 PRC is a dandy cartridge. I kinda think it’s one of the best all rounders to hit the pike out of the new stuff. I tell folks I think it’s the modern version of the 270 Win since it is able
To handle really slick bullets, uses about the same amount of powder as a 270 and is...
I’d love to have to eat as well. From all I’ve heard it’s a premium meat. I’d be ears for a hunt as well. I’d take a bull or cow. The freezer isn’t prejudiced.
With any animal for me after the kill I’m usually pretty elated. Some hunts come easy and some come after a lot of sweat, cold sits, sore eye balls, etc. So while I don’t get geeked up about killing per se, that is my goal or I’d carry a camera.
That’s for sure excellent speed. Pretty much 300 wby speeds honestly. I’d gun the flat spot in velocity and tweak seating depth but from how it’s looking it won’t take much. Hard to argue with how well Barnes shoot. Awesome stuff TD.
The 225 PT or Sierra is an excellent deer/bear bullet. I prefer the Sierra as it expands a bit wider leading to more blood on the ground. Either are great as is the 200 TTSX if you wanted to rip that one as well. Hard to go wrong with any of them.
I don’t have a particular pet load but Retumbo and 130 grain ABs worked really well in my rifles, I’s ask if anyone has QL they could run for you but I don’t see 3200 being any big deal with That combo. I’d the H website will also have data to get you rolling. They were 9 twist guns so...
I buy them. Used to by Montana Bullet Works but they had some tragedy and now I’ve been getting them from Mikes bullets out of Missouri I believe or maybe Arkansas. Haven’t shot any yet but on good reports they’re great.
I was going to type out a response but Jorey’s was spot on. I’m another user of slow powders in the 25-06, H1000, 7828, rl25 and 26, Retumbo.
I wouldn’t sweat the numbers either myself. Look for good consistent accurate loads and the numbers will fall in place. Also, with H1000 I seem to have...
I have had my COAX since about 2006 or so. Somewhere in there, and like if a lot Don. It’s really nice not having to mess with shellholders and it is also nice not spinning dies in and out. Once my dies are set, they slide in and out at exactly the same spot as the time before.
I don’t know...
I have always wanted one of them myself and I remember through the years you have had a few of them. Pretty big medicine for stuff at sane ranges. The Hammers shoot real well and like you said, they’re fast as heck.
Looking forward to seeing how you make out.
