What Caliber For PRS Style Matches

[Harvey_NW]

25 creedmoor is my vote! In love with mine, does everything I need it to without anything unnecessary. Easy to load for, easy to get components. 6cm would be another good choice with 25cm getting the edge for hunting use IMO

25 creed hammers. Mild dose of 4350 behind the 133 Elite folded 2 deer in 2 states in 14hrs in the hands of an 11 year old girl, 1 shot each.

I have a 6 dasher and it's a wicked little cartridge. It's way too easy to load for. 32-33 gr of Varget, SRP's, and 105/109 hybrids.

With the new berger 25 cal bullets, I would like to do a 25x47 someday. The 6 XC is also up there on the list..

This also would be a cool one. What kind of speeds are you getting??

Right now only 2620 avg but 20" tube with only 50 rounds down and first firing on brass. Waiting on a can and once I get it broke in and sped up I'll pour em strong and see what happens.

6mm dominates in PRS. 6BR, 6BRA, 6 DASHER are the go to calibers. I've shot all of them in comps. 6BR is very easy to load for and amazingly accurate, 6BRA is faster and still amazingly accurate. You will have to fireform lapua brass. 6 dasher is the fastest of the bunch and factory brass is out there if you can find it.

PRS hot calibers change like underwear. Pick one of those calibers, stick with it, shoot lots of rounds.

I’m shooting the 135s in a 26” going 2940 which is fairly warm but not trashing brass. Pretty dang efficient. I think I’m up to 10 animals with mine now.

Dasher, BRA, or 6.5x47. No fussin with load dev or concerns about consistency or accuracy.

I built a 25x47 and love it. Want to build a 22x47 next.

Man........I have several comp rifles. 25cm, 6gt, 6bra, 22gt, and getting a 22br built currently. Honestly the 22gt with 90atips at 3100 bucks the wind better and is flatter than the 25cm with 135s at 2900, WAY ledd recoil too. 6bra is bar far the easiest to get shooting small, I'm talking tiny. I've shot a lot of groups at 400y in the 1s and 2s. The gt and creed cases feed great from bout any setup with minimal to no tuning, br variants however require a lot of tuning on reliability for feeding, especially once you get in funk positions with pressure on magazine or the mags get dirty in elements. Want to run factory ammo? Shoot the 6 creed with Berger ammo, it hammers, especially if you throw a muzzle tuner on it. My good friend who I shoot matches with regularly, runs a dasher, also extremely accurate and dead simple to load for. Personally id go with anything alpha maked ocd brass for, that stuffs the shit.
