I don’t know how it took me this long to find this video. I have a Christensen MPR in 6.5 PRC. I walked it out like this for my first time ever shooting 1,000 yards. Absolutely love this thing, I’ve taken a white tail at 500yds and an Aoudad at 650yds, neither one took more than a few steps. Great video, loved it
The first thing I noticed with this video and your previous reloading video is the bipod and preloading the bipod. I bet if you had this set up while doing load development your groups would have been tight. Great shooting out to a mile man! Glad I just found your channel.
This rifle was very problematic. Too damn light. But, I have a new rifle in 6.5 PRC and it is much heavier and there is almost no muzzle jump at all. But you are correct about loading the bipod.
Nice shooting. Would be interested to know your make and nodel of rifle and what your load and bullet weight were. Also, how big was the target? Thanks!
Absolutely! I live in Wisconsin and get down to Texas every year. They are always #1 on my list of places that I have to go! #NETT is always top notch!
@@mattsreloadingbench Janesville here. What part of Wisconsin are you in? I can shoot out to 500 meters at the Beloit Rifle Club, that is the best that is available to me at the moment. I plan on going to Texas or Michigan for one of those long range hunting courses this year. Nice video.
Ed Srettin, I live by Lake Michigan. Sorry, I'm not going to get specific. But I do almost all of my shooting at the rifle range in Shiocton. They have targets out to 550 yds and gongs at 567 yds. I would love to get into competitive shooting, but with my job and the fact that there is no locations within 8 hours for a mile shoot, it is not going to happen any time soon.
Yes I did have to true it up. I edited that out. This was one of the first shooting videos that I ever did and there are some things that I would do differently now.
How long is the barrel you're shooting out of and what's the twist rate? Nice fkn shooting man. I've got a browning xbolt 22", never attempted to shoot that far, but you're inspiring.
I've been interested in this cartridge but that's definitely gone up now lol. Me and my dad took our creedmoor out to a mile but it was fairly inconsistent that far out. Might have to pick one of these up for a "dedicated" mile gun lol
60.8 MOA I did not have camera capability for impact visuals. Shortly after I was at this range, they installed target cams that you can connect to with your smart phone. So maybe next year when I go back! Thanks for watching!
Great shooting! Do you have any problems with the base of the 6.5PRC case's after about 6 reloads? Would have been great if you would have been posting elevation MOA on the screen with each shot for comparison...look forward to see what's next camera on target maybe
So far, I have not gotten to 6 reloads on my brass. I would have loved to have a camera on the target. A few days after I shot at that range, the range master installed one that you can connect a wifi device to to get your shots on target in real time. The MOA was an afterthought. Maybe if I have time, I can redo the video and add that in.
SAAMI I believe at the case web is .532 Many smiths are now using custom reamers which are plus .002 at the web. This solves the sizing issue and the well known “bolt click” problem.
Amazing shooting, guy! Nice, consistent loading up of your bipod, too!...Matt: Do you prefer your phone/Strelok to a Kestrel? I only have Strelok Pro at this time...saving for a Kestrel....
Thank you for the compliment. I had a blast at this range and i am beyond thrilled that everything worked out as well as it did! For ballistics calculations, I use a combination of a Kestrel and the Hornady 4DOF Calculator. I like the combo that I use and as you can see, it works for me.
Hey man awasome job. I recently build a precision 6.5 prc and haven't got to take it out further than 500 yards and was curious how big of groups you are getting at 100 yards. Also what recipe are you loading them to I am not having the best luck I'm getting about .5 moa groups at 100 and feel that it should be a bit better. There are a few things I'm not doing yet with my reloads such as turning the necks and I need to debur the flash holes but other than that I think I'm doing everything decent enough.
Check out my previous video in this series.... studio.ruclips.net/user/video_zkkZSzF6wo/edit I was able to get just under 1 MOA. But, when I went from Wisconsin to Texas, everything changed. The round performed better in the Texas atmosphere and I was getting about .75 MOA while there. I will be doing some more development with my 6.5 PRC. I hit the mile. Which was my ultimate goal. But, I want to see if I get bring down my group sizes and see if I can achieve sub 1/2 MOA. Have fun in chasing your goals! Thanks for watching!
@@mattsreloadingbench thanks for the reply man I can barely find 1000 yards here on the Oregon coast but I think I found a mountain I can shoot across.
@@mattsreloadingbench I need up reading comments and seen your other reply...I just got a prc and going to load for the first time ever...im going to dial this thing in... never heard of the atip and seen hornadys video... thats on the list now too...going to try a few but sure looking like atip is going to be the answer... theyre double the cash but be well worth it after I play with some others...thanks for actually sharing your info...have you tried retumbo?
@@G8ergator1 i have tried Retumbo. With my 1st rifle. I would definitely try it again. The results were good, but group wise, not what I was looking for. But now I just got a new barrel for my 6.5 prc and it is going to be a whole new journey for me.

What vortex scope are you using? Just picked up a prc and scope shopping...do you have 20moa rings?
Vortex Viper 5-25. THE RIFLE HAS A 20 MOA rail and the cantilevered mount is 20 moa as well
Just bought the same MPR! I can't wait to break it in. Nice shooting!

Thanks for watching
And the target was 3 MOA with a 1 MOA center bullseye.
Most excellent. NETT is a very professional range and the shooters there are the real deal. Way to go.

How were you off one moa at 1200 yards, yet you went right back to following you app out to a mile? Did you true the app before continuing past 1200?
Yes I did have to true it up. I edited that out. This was one of the first shooting videos that I ever did and there are some things that I would do differently now.
Good work mr.matt

what bullet? how many MOA ? which powder? wind?
Hornady 153gr A-TIPS, Retumbo, 6mph left to right, 62 moa elevation

Right now, I am doing load development with a new rifle in 6.5 PRC. IT OUTSHINES THIS RIFLE BY FAR! Check out Seekins Precision Havak HIT!
Thank you sir but I would of like to know the moa an seen it hit.
60.8 MOA

Is that a seekins rifle ? Looks very much like it
The rifle in this video is a Christensen Arms MPR
I’m shooting a 6.5 PRC have you shot barnes TXS in any of the Prc I cannot get any decent groups with any that I have owned or set up for other people
I have not heard much good about those. Check the dimensions of the bullets. You will see a lot of variances.
I myself have not used them.
What ammo and gun you using
I was using the Christensen Arms MPR 6.5 prc. I was using hand loads with Hornady 153gr A-Tips
