Right now the only thing holding the rifle back is me. Building up the brass so I'll soon be able to start developing loads

[Magwa]

well hope you can get components up there hard to find here .....

[Cunuckgaucho]

To get brass I'm buying loaded 147gr rds(lots of 6.5PRC available starting at 140gr) powder is coming back and 6.5 bullets are readily availible.

Only thing not in ther stores are large rifle primers, I have several thousand fortunatley,  

[Magwa]

what bullets are available? Berger 140 grain Hybrids?

[Cunuckgaucho]

Local guy has Berger 140 Match Hybrids,144 Long Range Hybirds along with Hornady(140 to 147gr)

Absolutely none of those suck.  You can't go wrong if you buy all of them.

What twist is your rifle? They have 

BERGER 6.5MM 144 GR LONG RANGE HYBRID 1:8" TWIST, TARGET BULLET / 100 BOX

$104.99(US$78)

At 140gr they have 

BERGER 6.5MM 140 GR MATCH LR BT, TARGET BULLET / 100 BOX

$97.99(US$72.80)

They aren't listing 140gr hybrid now so will talk to them on week when they are back. I'll call around to some other scources and get you some prices.

[98Z5V]

8-twist is the most common for these things now, just to handle the heavies. 

[Magwa]

Yeah I am 1 in 8 twist and only interested in Berger 140 Grain Hybrids..... thanks

[Cunuckgaucho]

!40 gr it is then, I'll put out feelers along with finding out on Saturday what happened to the ones dealer had listed earleier/when more are coming in

[98Z5V]

147s are better for 6.5s.  I'm just sayin'....  Compare BCs. Run all the math on those projectiles. Your goal is distance, so don't handicap yourself early on, when there might be a better projectile out there.

My $0.02. 

 

[Magwa]

For the difference in what gains I could get and even if I could find them I will stick with the 140 grain Hybrid and low and behold I found 3 boxes yesterday  . I would have to find a new node and charge weight with 147's

I just ran this 6 shot string on the chrono and checked my zero I have a match Sunday here is what I got

1. 2975

2.2966

3.2966

4.2966

5.2970

6.2968

ES 9

SD3.6  all in a group of 0.32 that is why I just can not abandon this combination .......

[shooterrex]

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[Sisco]

That is one badass rifle, Gaucho!👍🏻

[Magwa]

So any updates are you shooting the new baby? are you looking for components ?

[Cunuckgaucho]

Works been pretty busy last month and a bit, I'll get out this Sunday. Still shooting factory ammo to get brass.

Componetsaren't an issue, bullets readily avalible and I have powder and primers.

The paperwork is filed so soon she'll be able to go south of the 49th( added pistols and some other stuff to the list). Might find myself in Idaho  later this summer
