Consensus on 156 Berger’s?

Safely, high 2900’s or 3,000 even with N570.

Gotcha. One of these days, I’m thinking of doing a “heavy” gun lol. Something like a 6.5-7, or a 280AI shooting 162 ELD. You know, for the times the 6 PRC just ain’t enough

Hahaha nothing wrong with having another gun!

We got our PRC before last season and so far we've taken a mountain goat, black bear, mule deer, and two antelope. Performance has been amazing from 40 yds to 490 yards with a MV of 2910 in a 24".

Update: I shot a mule deer buck last Friday and was the longest range I've had on game with the 156. Range was 892 and impact velocity was about 2000 fps. No exit but dropped on the shot. Once again I'm pleased with the performance of these bullets. Next week will be hunting whitetail and most of the shots are 150-250 yards. Hopefully I'll have a few more opportunities with this bullet combo.
