[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1821884, member: 61747"] I have a PRC and had a SAUM. It's been too long since I owned the saum to remember much other than speed and accuracy, which was same as everyone else in a 140 and long barrel. I didn't like the rifle so I sold it. My PRC is a 22" proof, so I'd expect max 50 fps slower. I use ADG/Gunwerks brass. At 2.950 length the prc will have more jump then the gap based on the reamer spec you noted. IF less freebore is desire you better go that way or go with a custom PRC spec reamer. I believe the PRC is 188 freebore so you'll have jump. My PRC wound up shooting 135 A tip, 140 vld, 140 eld, 143 eld, 147 eld, and 156 all at .5 MOA or better. Jump is all over the place at 2.950 between all the bullets. My 2 go to loads are the 135 A and 156 EOL. 135A - 3100 fps 156- 2910 FPS You can use those numbers I suppose to get an idea of what to expect from a PRC. Personally I am liking the 135 due to the blend of speed and high for bc weight. It seems to be a good all around performer in this PRC. I may look at the berger 144 at some point too. [/QUOTE]
