[QUOTE="N.Scott Nail, post: 1729053, member: 104399"] I just rcv'd my 6.5 PRC and took it out for a spin with Hornady 143 ELD'X Factory ammo....OMGosh!! It's for real!! I only fired 10 total shots (for a base line) Hope I can get these type of results but plan'n on better,go figure!! :) first two rounds at 25yrds to zero scope third round to see were it hit at 100yrds (4" high) adjusted at ran 1st rd @ 7o'clock in button!! ran 2nd and third shot thru each other @ 11o'clock in dah button!!((0.385)) then it was two at a time (with warm barrel) shot outside button but not by very much. call it 0.650ish............Then I let barrel cool down to try a cold bore shot with a quick follow up shot to end a 10 shot "get to kno her" dealio...... first round up and left @ 10o'clock outside button. second shot was again down and left,outside button as well @ 8o'clock !!! gonna call it a 0.750 ...... I kno I was a bit excited while doing this zero and firing of 10 rounds but GEEZ,come on. I'm just a retired guy with time to shoot a couple times a week for fun. Man o man, I can hardly wait and begin to start loading for this bad boy!! Oh,BTW....... I'm a light for caliber guy and these 143 ELD-X didn't jump much at all. I shoot breaks on all my rifles, regardless of caliber and was think'n I was gonna get a kick'n but to my surprise,not really!! I'm guessing that down the road I'll thread it and put a break on it,but for now,LOAD DATA first to see how it goes after a couple hours behind her. I will surely be run'n 120 & 130's as soon as I get going. I hope these few lines help some one on the fence with a decision weather or not to try one. I'm sooo glad I did and hope to follow up with some Data to help others out who may not have the time to find a node or two with at least 3-4 different bullet weights and manufactures as as well.
