Idk I'm picking it up in 11 days, Vesper, McMillan mountain tracker LR, 20" Lt palma 7.5tw, scythe ti. I'm gonna shoot first 100 rounds for break in with H1000 then switch to N565 or RL26.What’s your recipe for the 6PRC?

Be sure to post your results. I have been contemplating building one.Idk I'm picking it up in 11 days, Vesper, McMillan mountain tracker LR, 20" Lt palma 7.5tw, scythe ti. I'm gonna shoot first 100 rounds for break in with H1000 then switch to N565 or RL26.
Are you still on board with the HBN coating on these or no?
Looking at some other DTAC posts from Form, 2500fps and above fragments and below that could frag or tumble and frag or expand like a harder bullet.They seem to work over a huge velocity spread. Up close they seem to fragment like a cross between a ELDm and Berger target. At distance, 1400-2000 fps they tumble and make a mess. The PH in Africa said “that little bullet is hard to argue with”.
6wsm sounds like the natural choice here!Looking at some other DTAC posts from Form, 2500fps and above fragments and below that could frag or tumble and frag or expand like a harder bullet.
They shoot good out of my 6XC @ 2850 and going to eventually load some up in a 7.5 twist 240 Wby. With the 6XC, may buy a box of deep cut for lower frag velocity.
To keep this on topic, I have a Tikka 270 WSM that I need to either sell or convert to a 6 UM or PRC. All I need is another project
Quit putting ideas in my head! Gotta be a 6 UM for this thread6wsm sounds like the natural choice here!
David Tubb advised the 8tw in his 6xc for a long time, he was typically shooting them at 3k fps from long barrels. I've shot them in my 8tw havak 6cm without issue. 2950-3050fpsI have seen people say that the dtac will shoot fine out of an 8 twist at moderate velocities, like 2850-2900.
Anyone know if that's true?

yesRyan, so would you say the benifit of the NR-DTac’s over bergers would be a wider velocity range for desired upset?
