Yeah, I own a 6.5 PRC and I can't shoot it. Maybe.... I'm just too cheap, but I refuse to pay $100-$150 a box of 20 for ammo. So... it is sitting in the gun safe and because .308 is stacked very deep on the shelves, with my local gun store having ammo on a pallet, four feet high..... I picked up a .308.
It is a Ruger American Hunter, 20" heavy barrel, ported, and a Magpul stock that is fantastic. I took the Vortex off the PRC and mounted it on the Ruger.
Purchased three boxes of Winchester FMJ at $19 a box for the 'break in'.... Then I purchased a box of Hornady Match 168's and a box of Federal Gold Medal 175's... to see how it shoots those two rounds. If neither of those pan out, I will continue looking....
But to get Hornady Match and Federal Gold Medal for $36 and $38 a box.... beats the hell out of Hornady PRC at $150 a box.
I think this will be a fun little gun to play around with and it will be much cheaper to shoot than the exotic rounds.
