The 6.5 Creedmore was designed with bullets for longer range shooting. Recently attention has been given to .308 bullets to increase their BC. The Berger Juggernaut BC is .55. The Lapua 155 gr Scenar is a more efficient .308 bullet. Comparing the two calibers should be done with modern high BC bullets. The 6.5 undoubtably holds the edge but with modern high BC bullets, the .308 can work at 1000 yds negating the need for a new rifle. 1000 yds is also not a hunting distance, just a target distance.
How is the shrapnel making other marks on the plate? because it hits the plate then has to bounce backwards, how does it have any forward momentum? or is it because the plate moves?
@@tylerschneible584 Barrel Heat-Thin-contour “sporter” barrels WILL change point of impact as they heat up. When testing loads for your hunting rifle, take your time and don’t let the barrel get hot on you
Why is nobody calling this dude out on his distance? 1020 yards? Bullshit. You’re a fool to think this is 1020 yards. Go to 5:45 and just use your eyeballs people. Then go to Texas Plinkers 1 MOA challenge and you will actually see what 1000 yards looks like. If you can hit a 5 inch 6 shot group at 1000 yards we would all know who you are trust me. I will give him props for fooling all of you commenters.
I have the vortex SE on an rpr 6.5 with a proof barrel, the scope is super viable at 1k. Really like ebr7c reticle. I'm starting a christchensen 300prc build. Do you have any feedback good or bad regarding that action.
Their actions are decent, they have some slack but overall not bad id say. CA barrels are totally different story, the one that came with my MPR fell apart after only 250rds!
I picked up a 7 PRC a couple months ago. I’ve only shot it a few times but it’s a sweet cartridge. I’m wondering if I should have gone with the 300 PRC but I’m not sure. I also have a 338 Lapua that I shoot long distance.
No question, the Creedmoor round is better at long ranges. As for the .308, the bullet isn't all that different from the 30-o6 I competed with back in 1963, and we used 165gr boattail bullets. Oh, and iron sights! Custom machined to a smaller aperture, but still iron sights. Rifles, match grade M1 Garand for the first few matches, then match grade M14s, the first time to my knowledge that the rifle was used in competition. We used Fr Riley KS ranges, and after a full day of shooting my right cheek was swollen and my shoulder was seriously bruised!
For me if it’s a choice of 6 mm up to 308 cal out to 600 yards I pick the 6.5 x 55 in 140 or 150 gr factory load , sweet shooting round , very similar ballistics to the creedmoor out to 600 yards
Nice. I have a DD5V5 in 6.5. Im surprised the 308 did so well. The differences between the two are not THAT drastic. 308 has a few hundred more ft-lbs of energy and the 6.5 has a few inches tighter groups. Boths very comparable in close and far range performance. Im staying on team 6.5.
Hi, you are getting velocity of 2950 fp/s with 28" barrel, 184 grains bullet and 66.5 grains of H1000 powder. Can you please tell me: 1) what is the pressure in psi that you are getting? 2)do you think that in 7mm PRC with 26" barrel, Berger 180 grains, 67.5 grains of H1000 powder I would get velocity of 3000 fp/s and would the pressure be to high and what would be the amount? Best regards!
Yep that's my load there, not sure about the exact pressure numbers but looking at some data with similar powder charges it would be around 66k psi. You should be very close to 3k ft/s with 67.5gr.
Useless comparison. 2 different bullet designs, totally 52 gr difference in weight, 2 different velocities, 2 different rifles. Kudos to you for good shooting, that's about the best I can say about wasting my time on this video.
The weight and velocity differences are understandable. They are different calibers and cases. But the bullet difference is what throws off the results. If he had used a 180 ELDM and a 225 ELDM, we’d be looking at a more apples to apples comparison
You should try a 300 WSM with the 230 Atip. I ran H1000 with a full case with an SD-3fps and 2748fps….routinely shot (in no wind) 10 inch groups or better at 1000. Most of the time we just shot clay pigeons with it at that distance.
I have four 7PRCs - love them. I considered a 300PRC but chose to get a modified reamer made by JGS in 300WSM. I followed the Alex Wheeler concept and how he improved the PRCs with a larger body by 0.002 and a bit more freebore. My 300WSMs will need long actions but that's what I wanted. the 300WSM is well known for its accuracy. I've got 180, 190, 210 grain bullets with the heavier bullets being Berger VLDs.
@@onerahtokonmc7703 In my tikka 300WSM I've got loads for 150 TSX over Superformance, 168 TTSX with Staball 6.5, and 180 Accubonds but can't remember what powder. I'd have to check
Man berger bullets are just good. They seem to be quite a bit more accurate than the hornady or smks etc. Are you able to load up any bergers in the 300 prc and shoot a group?
I’ve got a model 10. With your .308 what setup are you using, scope (moa or mead), 20moa picatinny rail, and what are you dialing in elevation to reach out at that distance (are you dialing and using holdovers as well)?
That’s the scope I bought a bit ago viper pst gen 2 5-25x 50 ebr7c in moa. So far just got it zeroed out to 200 have yet to reach out any farther. Thanks for the reply!
7mm prc isn't no joke i can shoot 1.5 inch groups at 300 yrds with a factory rifle most accurate cartridge i have ever shot and they are not picky they will shoot almost anything
