Anyone have the speed on Hornady's 6.5 PRC ELDM out of a 24" Tikka?

 

[Vandy321]

This is just a WAG based on ballistic trying, but 2640fps from a 24" tikka 7RM w/ 168 Federal Berger Hybrid Hunters. That's 80 deg and 5300' elev.

Norma Whitetail 140gr @ 2650 fps

How’s the accuracy with that Norma ammo Txx?

How’s the accuracy with that Norma ammo Txx?

They do well in my Tikka. Here are 20 rounds at 100 yds that I put through it pretty quickly.

A week later I shot 5 rounds in a sub moa group at 500 yds.

Shot this pig the same weekend around 150 yds

Buddies 24" CTR was shooting the factory precision hunter 143s at right around 2600 FPS this summer. Barrel probably had 500-700 rounds on it at this point.

 

[jeffdvorak]

I've got a CTR 6.5 creedmoor that got a 24" Proof Stainless barrel in 7.5 twist and getting 2798fps with the 143's. Shoots lights out!

 

[slowelk]

Factory 24.3” barrel. 77 rounds through. This was factory 143 eldx. SO SLOW.
