Sorry. 156 Berger, Ramshot Grand.

Awesome. Good data!

Would a 6.5-7 prc reamer clean up a factory 6.5 prc chamber? after I finish toasting this howa carbon prc barrel I was thinking if this would or could clean it up I might get a little more life out of it before going full rebarrel.

By the time you TRULY shoot out that 6.5 PRC barrel, I don’t think the extra 1/4” of clean chamber would do anything. It would be an absolute waste of money in the grande scheme. Just get a new barrel and start fresh. Regular steel barrel is about $450. It’d be money well spent at that point.

Here they are side by side. 7 PRC is .258” longer than 6.5 PRC

The shoulder of 65prc is same diameter as a 7prc shoulder, but the 7 shoulder is further forward, so it should clean up, but it won't be by a lot. Overbore fire breather? I'd get a new barrel

Has anyone tried Retumbo with this cartridge ?

maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the point. It seems really inefficient to push a 147 200fps faster than a 6.5 PRC with 10 grains more powder. Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze

Some just like to tinker. For others, campfire/cartridge ego is a thing. Largest 6.5, largest manbun?

Same comparison as a 6.5 CM vs. a 6.5 PRC.

Looks like most people are running a 22” barrel, has anyone run a 20” barrel? If anyone has, what have the pros/cons of the 20” barrel been? Is the 20” barrel too short for the horse power?
