Interesting 6.5 CM Peak comparison with 6.5 PRC

[Joel]

From the Vortex guys. Yeah, I agree there is a lot of room for biased "interpretation" lets say, but at the end of the day, they are shooting it over a chrony.

BLUF: 20" and 22" barreled Tikkas shooting 6.5 CM Peak ammo outperformed a 24" barreled 6.5 PRC. Velocity gain was about 230-250 ish fps.

Recoil was stated to be notably less than the 6.5 PRC although thats subjective. Would like to see it tested mechanically.

No guns exploded in the shooting of this ammo

If the PRC gets a similar load I will finally get off my ass and buy one. 147grn at 3300fps? Something like that if the gains are similar.

I’m shooting 143 at about 3100 out of a 20
Should peak at 3500

Interesting, especially if you have a 6.5cm, similar recoil, and from what they say less recoil than the prc, so a win win?!?

I always hear about velocity? Where are the targets with 1/4" groups?!

If you watch it. There is one, one hole group for the plus peak

Im a fan of the 308 with light barnes bullets, but...A .350 BC TSX vs a .530 BC Terminal Ascent

Totally apples to apples there! Lol

All of the rifles blew up after the first shot, so there really aren’t any.
