6 PRC

[alf]

@alf was getting 3400-3450ish with 105s I believe in his 6PRC 24" barrel.

I'm not 100% sure on specifics but he might be able to chime in?..

Favorite load in my 24" Bartlein was with R-26 and 108 ELD-M's at a hair over 3400.

Tested some 105 Hybrids with Retumbo this morning.

57gr. 3230fps
58gr. 3280fps
59gr. 3330fps
60gr. 3380fps

Super faint bolt click at 59gr., so I loaded up 4 at 58gr. to see how they'd group. Looks pretty good.

For Sale - 6 PRC Benchmark for Lone Peak

Brand new. Not really a prefit because it was chambered the same time as the barrel that’s currently on my gun. Chambered by Travis Stevens For Lone Peak Actions 6 PRC 24” Benchmark Med Palma 1-9 twist 5/8-24 threads on the muzzle Cerakoted black $615 shipped

www.longrangehunting.com

Actually posted that second barrel up for sale

I ended up liking this little cartridge enough to sell this rifle and do a full build more geared towards hunting, and with added freebore for the 108 ELDM's.

I ordered a custom reamer from JGS that has Alex Wheelers 6.5 PRC body dimensions but with a .279 neck OD and .200 freebore instead of .130 freebore. Should put a 108 ELDM at 2.92" .020 off the lands.

The build will be:

Short Action Bat Vesper
Peak Forty Four Bastion
26" Spiral Flute Benchmark #6 1-8 twist
Hawkins Hunter DMB
Bix n Andy Tac Sport trigger
SRS .760" 4 port brake
Trijicon Tenmile 3-18X44

Should be around 9lbs scoped instead of this current rifle, which was 11.5 lbs.

This is that Peak Stock. 24oz supposedly

Well my buddy got in a little bind and won't be buying the 6 PRC. So it will be for sale for a pretty fair price. Before I post it in the forums, I'd like to offer it on this thread for anyone following along.

The rifle, the second barrel, and 100 rounds of once fired Lapua brass for $4300 shipped.

Gun has 212 rounds through it

Huntnful….how have I missed this topic? Just now seen it. I've been pondering 6mm saum and debating internally to do it on a prc casing or not. Great info

I'll take it if the PMs haven't grabbed it first

Hey dude! If you want to talk more about it through PM shoot me a message and we can go more in depth! I have gathered a fair amount of data on it now and a sweet little cartridge for sure!

She's sold to QuietTexan!

 

[haisardao]

Do you have a reamer print for this beauty? Might need to build one!

Nice snag! About the most interesting rifle I've seen available lately.

The reamer in the gun that is sold, was cut with a .130 freebore for the 105 Hybrids.

This print below is the reamer that I ordered for the 108 ELDM's. .072 more freebore.
