Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 6.5 GAP 4S vs 6.5 PRC

Tag

Off topic, but the 300 PRC is gaining traction too. Many factory rifle options coming out chambered for it.

North American Ammunition Co has also released 6.5 PRC ammo loaded with 130 Swift Scirocco II bullets. Getting 3050 out of a 24" barrel. I shot a 2.5" group at 882 yards today with them out of my custom rifle. Tuebor action, Bartlein barrel, 8 twist. I have pics, but dont know how to post on here.

What kind of scope do you use to see a target that small that far away?

Leupold 4.5-14. Cds. Worked my way out after a 200 yard confirmation. 300, skipped 400 and 500 because there is a dip in the field and couldn't see the targets. Then 600, 700 and 880. Plugged numbers into hornady calculator, shot, went down and measured, adjusted for the error and shot again. By the ti.e I got to 880, I had it figured pretty well. Shot two, both low, did the math, added some moa, shot my last three rounds for the day. Could have used one more click up for 2 more inches but still kill shots. I havemt had a gun capable of that till this one. I had a 27x scope on it for work up, but moved that to a different gun because it's too big and heavy for hunting. Knocked 8oz off rig to put this scope on.

61.5 H1000 in my Saum with the same bullet is a great load for me at 3130 FPS
