Thank-you. It's a great round, the extra case capacity of the 7.62x39 makes a difference with this cartridge vs other 556 based deviations.

Thanks Chris, I need to go back into your videos and watch some of those, that's great!! I have the Geissle SSE/2 trigger in here and that's the last place I put it and have gone with Larue MBT-2s ever since, hahahaha. Yah this was actually filmed in January when we all had the cold snap...It was like 27 degrees and it was my third video hahahha, you know how that goes.

@@triggerbarPhD I do the same thing…a lot of my videos are sometimes a couple months old….makes it easier to keep them coming weekly.

I’ve loaded a bunch of the tax and TTSX and agree, that’s more 300 yards and in to get to e velocities needed. And that’s also applies to me, I’m not comfortable out past 400 yards for a shot at this point. My longest kill has been 275 yards.

It really is a fantastic round and you hit the exact issues with it.

That’ll be interesting to see if you get better groups out of that ammo!

Yah it’s one of many that are trying to displace the 556, 6 arc probably has a better chance but likely won’t. But are fun to reload and shoot. Thanks!

It’s a fun round. Lots of other options now with the 6 max and 6 arc. But the 6.5 is a great spot for a good bc bullet and very popular because of the creedmoor. I think you’d enjoy it too!

The 6 max looks awesome for sure. Yah it doesn’t make as much sense as when the Russians were selling a lot of 6.5 grendel!!

@@triggerbarPhD how do you feel reloading for it. On the one hand it’s that precision thing that screems hand weight powder. But then it’s a semi auto screeming high number of rounds. On my .308 Win the Lee Powder Measure gets me about 0.3 grain spread in the turret, so kinda good enough

Yah there was a time when the Russian stuff was flowing…not it’s not coming in and prices are crazy. Still fun to reload for though.

All great points and thanks for adding this perspective!!

Aero Precision is far from crap, even Anderson has reviewers proving their lower is closer to MILSPEC than a Centurion CM4. I haven't used an Anderson yet, I've had both Centurion (Centurion MKXII MOD 1 SPR) It functions flawlessly, I've also built multiple Aero Precision M4E1 lower based rifles and they've all been perfect, even with mismatched uppers. The Foxtrot Mike 16" 9mm upper states expressly to NOT use any Anderson lower with their upper or it will void their warranty. Someone seems to not care for them. I see Anderson lowers available for dirt cheap all the time, even 80%ers I may grab one up just to complete one and test it out. People talk plenty of smack about the S&W M&P15 Sport II as a "crappy budget rifle" I was gifted one by my Mother after my Dad passed on special at Cabela's for $619. Personally, if that's discounted pricing I don't call that "budget" and it performs amazing after plenty of ammunition through it and I seem to have gotten a fluke as my 1:9 heavy barreled M&P is a 1/4MOA shooter dead on the bullseye at 100 yards, 3 shot groups, with 55grain NATO ball ammunition. I expect the same or similar from 62grain green tip. Much heavier and it may not stabilize them but I will try some 77grain OTM through it to test its performance later on.

Nice! Wow such a nice rifle!! Great shooting, and well said about the round!

It’s a fun cartridge!!

Thanks for this and I’ll sub you channel! Thanks for letting me know!!

Yah well I got it. 😂🤣😂. Sometimes patience is good.

Yeah if you like pigs running off, mediocre performance and terrible drop then 300 blk is the way to go

Yah it can be very accurate in a bolt action. This was one of those, “I can just buy and upper and have a 556 and grendel gun” and then I just bought a lower. Lol. If you buy uppers, they grow lowers…

That’s awesome! Which bullets have you had the best results with?

@@triggerbarPhD Hornady 120 gr ELDM does .49 groups and Hornady 129 gr Interlock do .6 groups for me in my BCA upper . Best powder was H4895 with H335 a close second .

@jamespollard1670 awesome! Thanks for that!!

Thanks! I’ll have to check those out!!

Yes for sure 350 legend would be a better deer round. But not out at distance. It has a very low BC. So it comes down to where you are hunting as to which cartridge is better. Thanks for your thoughts!

@@triggerbarPhD My hunting is 150 yds or less, usually 50 to 100...🤷‍♂

@@Disastrous.Affect yah 350 legend makes more sense.

Agreed, that’s a great use case for them!!

We do! Works great!

Thanks for that! I think I have some 20 rounders from them.

Hey that’s awesome! Yup I lived in NM for 25 years so very familiar with the west! And 300 prc is a do all for the west. Great long distance performance!!

@@triggerbarPhD tucked away in that little corner of Texas you know where. Lived in Albuquerque for a decade or so.

@michaelmcmillan2776 yup, I lived in Albuquerque as well. We probably overlapped there for a while.

Love the Southwest

@michaelmcmillan2776 I really miss it. I’m on PA now. Different and nice in its own way but I miss the southwest.

Yah that’s a bit more powerful!
