6.5-7PRC... the first one!

Fair-ish

No update to this a year later? I've got a friend thinking of chambering one of these and there's little info I can find out there

I'm assuming his velocity expectations were exceeded..?
Plenty capacity there, especially for the heavies.
Wicked setup!

this looks like the perfect 6.5!
might have to rethink a few things.....

Why hold back - someone has to be thinking about a 6.5x300PRC 7 twist.

WTO is doing a 25x7prc and it's a little faster than a factory 257wby.

6.5x300prc would be a little bit slower if not the same as a 6.5x300wby.

I'd like to see a 22x6.5prc with a monolithic bullet that has a big hollow tip.

I know Greg at primal rights is doing an improved 6x6.5prc.
His 20primal looks pretty cool also. It's a 22creed necked down with the case blown out and 40° shoulder

I'm thinking 6mm-7PRC!!!! Why not I was thinking of a 6mm saum AI?????

The "need for speed" can be very addictive. But ... it's certainly not new. Over on Accurate Reloading, Saeed had a 22Middlestead (IIRC) launching a 30gr Berger well over 5,000fps. I was shooting a 22-243AI for a while and was going to see how fast I could get one of the light monos going but then remembered that my LabRadar wouldn't record above 4,000fps.

Have one. Running the 156's right around 3165. Believe I could push them a bit faster, but accuracy wins.
Left to right - 6.8 Western, 6.5prc, 6.5/7prc
Left 6.5prc, right 6.5/7prc.
Still playing as it is not fully broken in yet

What are the barrel specs and powder used? 3165 is plenty cookin!

26", 1in8, 64gr. RL26
YMMV- start low and work up.
