[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2672728, member: 10"] Wait until the PRC rounds get popular enough that all ammo makers start making this ammo, say, remington, winchester, federal, nosler, berger. Do you honestly think then that the consisteny will be there. No, every different bullet will fit the throat different and have varying degrees of accuracy. Then when more rifle manufacturers start making these rifles, the variation issue will get even worse, if gain that level of popularity. Right now its simply lack of options that results in factory consistency, not fine tuned specs. If these rounds gain the popularity that the 300 win mag has, in 40 years it will have the exact same issues, downloaded so that its lawyer proof in any rifle that chambers it using any ammo made for it. What is happening now with the prc rounds is not groundbreaking, they are good rounds, no doubt but simply the limited number of options resulting in some degree of consistency. that said, i have been horribly disappointed with all the hornady factory ammo and how badly it consistently misses advertised specs, often even in barrels longer then it was tested in. All factory ammo generally falls short but hornady is famous for missing their add numbers. have guys contact me all the time asking why their rifles do not match listed specs, tell them to buy a chrono and likely take 150-200 fps off the listed add velocity and they should be pretty close…… [/QUOTE]
