I've used the 6.5 PRC for a long time, as have my stepsons, and we have had stellar results on deer with it. We have found it easy to load with no issues so I'm pretty sure you're gonna grow to love your set up. It's definitely a shooter out of the box.

I've had mine for about 7 months, and it has been one of the best investments I've ever made for shooting/reloading gear. It's super easy to set up and use, plus it takes up virtually no space on a bench. It gives me all the data I need to evaluate ammo and create drop charts.
I think you would...
Kinley, in 1995 I was sent to Sig instructor school. One of the things taught was to disassemble your pistol, then use the barrel to chamber check every round of your duty ammo to make sure it would fit correctly. When reading this story, that came to my mind.

Man, that was close. I've never hunted anything that bites back (not counting coyotes) but after reading this story I believe I would check every round of ammo I took to make sure it would feed and chamber correctly.

24605, I said that and worse. We did not see the decline in numbers the way we usually did after peak (Holiday) season and income tax time. After covid, people learned they could order stuff to their houses so it continued after the covid thing ended. Beds, other furniture of all kinds...
After working for FedEx the last 4 1/2 years I'm leaving for a new job. FedEx was good to me but it has definitely taken a toll on my body. I have a shoulder that has some damage and I'm hoping to avoid any surgery, etc .
Starting next week I will be an assistant to the county sheriff, doing...
Before starting a new job next week I wanted to make a trip to a 500 yd range about 40 miles from my house. The wind lately has been horrible but was relatively calm yesterday.
I was shooting my Tikka Super Varmint 6.5 PRC and CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor. All shooting was done off bags and a bench...
CTD, after I had to put my dog, Frankie, to sleep in September I got another one named Buddy a short while later.
He is half Lab and half, I believe, whitetail because he runs and jumps like a deer. He is not an aggressive dog, he is just full of love and affection. He is just past a year...
Yesterday (4-18-24) we had to put our old Lab, Izzy, to sleep. She had developed a cancerous growth on her rear leg that encompassed the bones. The vet was nice and tried to offer alternatives, but the end result would have meant her mobility issues would have gotten worse. Rather than having...
I bought some Ginex LRs early on in the drought from Global Ordnance. One thing to bear in mind is they are ever so slightly larger than the "normal" Federal, Remington, etc and will take a little more pressure to seat . This was in commercial brass not staked military style. They're not...
I was at Scheels in Overland Park, Kansas, on Saturday and found the same thing. IMR 4350 was the same price, essentially $10 more per pound than the Hodgdon equivalent. Winchester, Accurate/ Ramshot, and Hodgdon powders were cheaper than IMR even though all are Hodgdon items.
I did...
Salmonchaser, actually today was the first time he'd ever seen one. He REALLLLLY wanted to keep one to play with for a while but his owner had other ideas.

Today my stepsons and I went on our pheasant hunt. The guy who runs the site said he was one pheasant short of the promised number so he substituted 3 chukars. This suited us just fine as none if us had hunted them before.
We had an absolute blast! We used a chocolate lab named Echo who was...
