6.5 PRC Ammo Test [CVA Cascade XT]

[@darrenbowers3267]

I am impressed you can shoot those kinds of groups on that lead sled rest as loose as everything is on it. Good shooting rifle for.sure good job. K love my 6.5prc! Please tighten that rest lol. Darren

[@mikewalters1980]

I'd like to see another group test using bags instead of the Caldwell rest.

[@linescum444]

Scam

[@tikkamarksman]

I agree, this flimsy seesaw does not aid to precision ,get a good wide bipod and rearbags

[@edwinbrandon538]

By that logic I guess the eldx would have all been in a small hole.

[@masone4589]

Premium Hornady ammo and a Bergara barrel. Hell yeah that thing will shoot! Good stuff man, that thing will be a deer killin machine

[@Tisbeef]

This is crazy. Today on my lunch break I was looking for a 6.5 PRC accuracy test but I couldn't find a good "all in one" video. Then only hours later, this video drops. Couldn't be happier at the moment!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Appreciate you watching Carter

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Wow, those Hornady 143 gr ELD-X's are an awesome match for that slanger!! See ya next time Brother!! 👍

[@pepsiccolausa8857]

The Tsx bullet is a full copper monalitic bullet. A harder bullet= usually not as accurate but has more penetrating and more open wound cavities on game compared to the two hornady lead core bullets that you used.

[@johnlayne5485]

Very cool dude great job shooting rifle looks really sweet with that can on it

[@shaggytitz7325]

Damn missed the live show so I had to catch the rebroadcast! Good shooting there WTW!

[@austindillon3041]

Enjoy watching the videos you put out. This is about the only video I can find on this rifle in 6.5 prc to this extent. Keep on keeping on!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching!

[@DaRougaroux1]

I dont know about others but I have NEVER had any good groups with anything Barnes puts out on ANY of my rifles. From .270 to 6.5 CM. The CVA Long Range Hunter will be my next gun when it comes up.

[@josephmedeiros5770]

Great shooting, WTW. Awesome that the match and hunting round have the POI. Would like to see a bullet drop video with the 6.5 PRC. Keep up creating the awesome content! 👌

[@linescum444]

Scam 🎁

[@kevinkp7779]

Just ordered the same gun this past Saturday. Looking forward to slinging some lead down range.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I love it

[@jasonnull2248]

🤘🎸heck yeah. I have the Bergara premier rifle in 6.5PRC and love it. Good stuff man.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome!

[@jameswatson4110]

I really enjoyed this since I have a 6.5 PRC. Those 147 ELDM’s really start to shine after 500 yards-Love to hear that steel BAP!

[@khalidhissy3140]

Again another great video!!!! Thank you!!!!! Had two 3 shots group at 100 yards using my Browning xbolt long-range Mcmillan. Using Hornady precision hunter 6.5 prc. Both group measured under .2 moa. not surprised to see your results.

[@joshclemons9975]

Im definitely thinking about buying this rifle in 6.5 prc I think its been out on the market long enough now and is super popular and it's going to stick around and its the perfect whitetail caliber and i just found tons of 6.5 prc ammo for 28 bucks a box 😊

[@WHOTEEWHO]

That's a great deal

[@CB-ck6ze]

I found with my 6.5creed that the 140 eld-m and the 143 eld-x shot same POI. Was great to be able to shoot the match bullet at the range and take the hunting bullet to the stand. Seems the same thing happened here with the 143 and 147 offerings.

[@Rowdy_Bikes]

Wow impressive! .395” with factory ammo. My best hand loads are .41” with my 6.5 PRC. Fine shoot’n brother!

[@chrisrayburn]

Hornady is one of the best for sure even the eco line still high quality. Like American Gunner

[@Rickkari7]

No doubt you found your hunting ammo. Hornady is a consistent factory load maker.

[@linescum444]

Don't reply its a scam

[@garrettforchrist2700]

Excellent shooting! My favorite is the group you got last time with the hot barrel! 🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲 Revelation 1:7

[@linescum444]

Scam

[@jeanhaney2203]

I always gave issues with copper or brass solids grouping well always better withlead core

[@michaellane1661]

Pretty interesting round. 🤔 Thanks for sharing brother!🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@robertpowell2746]

Who T Who I think you and heavy metal ought to build a new shooting bench that old spool is about wore out.

[@georgegaiennie3747]

Gotta love it.

[@cowdog786]

Cool gun !!! I got a tikka t3x veil 6.5prc and it done same thing with the barnes. Mine likes the Hornady's too !!! Try the norma's also if you can find them they shot just as good as the Hornady's out of my gun. You gone make me buy a cva.

[@travisnorton9097]

Crazy the precision hunter shot so well. I can’t that to group very well at all out of my 6.5 prc.

[@mickeeand1969]

Glad to see you got the minimal scope to barrel clearance you could have gotten. All jokes aside, you probably could have gone with some lower ring height. I do like the Cascade though.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

That is old Fudd Lore. 😝

[@chrisgabbert658]

👍😊 you can’t complain about those groups.

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Such a fine looking bing bang, this caliber would hold up to bout anything a hunter could want to chase. Scope and all this is the tool that would last a lifetime. Thanks WTW. 💪🏽🎥💯👍🙏🏻

[@oldcrackadated]

I think the more solid recoil from the heavier bullets is keeping you from moving the rifle with your hands , watch the video you may be able to see it

[@bradenstuart4074]

CVA with another BEAST! Nice video, WTW!!

[@randalbigirvirvin1153]

That CVA would be a great candidate for the ORYX chassis.

[@alraybaca6235]

Awesome shooting

[@charlesmullins3238]

I shoot the carbon waypoint and pretty well duplicated the 143eldx cause it’s the best shootin factory ammo I’ve found…I have the nosler 140gr BT and the few I shot stayed together and the bullet design I bet will do good on these ol Ky whitetails….have both 135gr and 153gr A tips and the lighter ones shot incredible…

[@garyk76]

The match are good hunting bullets for long range from 150 yards and beyond the work really well and expand good just wouldn't recommend for up close because they fragment more than a eldx but at longer ranges the eldm expande really well is a bullet or snipers are in here

[@scruffyarms]

My Mossberg Patriot Predator in 6.5 PRC average group is .82 at 100 yards with all the ammos with 1.2 being the largest and .334 the smallest. Love this caliber super sweet.

[@devlink2777]

Which ammo do you run? Just picked 1 up

[@scruffyarms]

@@devlink2777 Sorry for so long to get back to you. Hornady Precision Hunter hit a .19 group with it. Averages .74 at 100 yards.

[@brandoncoates7860]

The Norma match 143 has been the best and most consistent out of the 3 6.5 prc’s that I have owned.

[@richardh3540]

Try stapling your taget paper a little closer to your bulls eye. Will cut down on the ragged holes.

[@linescum444]

I use a metal frame and magnets for paper to keep a few inches infront of wood ,nice clean holes no blow out.

[@280AI]

Nice shootin dead eye. Great group with the ELD X

[@raiderrich2513]

I won a Weatherby Vanguard from a RMEF raffle in 6.5 PRC. I have yet to shoot Hornady ELDX but it loves both Nosler AccuBonds in 140 grain and Norma Bonded Polymer Tips in 143 grain.

[@TheJohndeere212]

I heard that the rifle you have are great guns and very accurate. It is making me think about purchasing one.

[@lucasmartin7496]

Good shooting, but I think you could do better if you got rid of the lead sled, and just use bags.

[@TheTonygong]

Great caliber

[@davidmackee8575]

Nice shooting great video once again 👍👍

[@Dwayne7834]

Nice shooting. Thanks for the video.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching Dwayne

[@OutsidetheEchochamber]

Really want to tryout that Norma bondstrike in the 6.5 prc

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Me too

[@ExcavationNation]

Great video bro I should be back soon my friend very busy.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Good to be busy sometimes

[@ThadJB]

My Stag Arms Pursuit Bolt is a 1/2 MOA w the 143s.

[@MauserM18]

Will be great if you try 127 Barnes lrx and 130 hornady cx

[@nikos6220]

Would be interested to see what your experiences with the ELD-X are with this rig 200 yards and in. At 100 you‘ll be at 2900 ft/s and the weight retention might be well below 50%.

[@messagesystem333]

Would like to see some shorter barrel threaded models for us suppressor guys.

[@micahthacker7425]

CVA Cascade XT or Ruger American GO Wild edition in 350 legend? Which do you like more? Awesome videos as always.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Cva is better.

[@garyk76]

Is this the rifle we was waiting to find out you took that mule deer with or is it a upcoming surprise

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Nope

[@owenrecore8475]

Should try the Norma golden match 143gr. I just got 3 boxes for 24.99 a box. Extremely cheap for the prc

[@estright9293]

Need to tighten up that sled. Things wobbly

[@Wickedtrucker75]

Are you planning on getting the 7 mm prc

[@n8o8n]

Has to now haha.

[@diggernash1]

He will really like it. I have one of the cheapest rifles in it, a Mossberg Patriot, and it is under 1" with factory ammo. I have the first round of solid copper reloads worked up and I can't wait to try them out.

[@Wickedtrucker75]

@@diggernash1 I am waiting on the Ruger American gone wild to be released

[@mrmongo6722]

That rifle shoot’s great with the Hornady ammunition why would you want to use anything else.

Could you chrono these to see what the velocities are from your rifle?

[@timothystrang1794]

Hornady is some of my favorite ammo

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

What camera do you use to show your target? Do you like it?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Just an old Canon sitting right next to the target. Nothing fancy

[@jeremiah7855]

Great groups

[@neilbuckley6293]

I think if you clean all the fouling out of your barrel the barns soil tighten up my 48 year old model 70 did and I went from 1.3” to .73 in my hand loads.

[@Thetankguy308]

The XT and the regular cascade have a number 5 barrel or just the xt??

[@Gokywildcats11]

I would love to bring my new 25/06 down and let you fine tune it and sight it in. Man you can shoot

[@eddiehuff7366]

Love to see that one at 300 yards. Good control sir!

[@user-cl7jw7td5q]

Probably firmer paper be better…. Non the less WTW, good vid…..

[@sappysiggy2351]

Hard to argue with that

[@toddmiller8854]

I have never had any thing that would group with Barnes.. my 6.5prc does better with eldx than eldm.. but just made load with with serria game changers same hole results an nolser ballistic tips as well.

[@jaydunbar7538]

Copper is a fickle beast, it doesn’t obturate like the lead core so it takes a perfect fit to get the same accuracy. There are a few coppers out now that seem to have got around it with new drive band designs but I’ve yet to try them myself.

[@toddmiller8854]

@@jaydunbar7538 I have not reloading any copper bullets by hand so that maybe the trouble with Barnes. I have a friend that is all he shoots in 2506 it does great groups an he hand loads. I have shot 300rum in Hornady gmx that extremely accurate and the new cx in Hornady in a 7mm08 youth model that is .5 group. Only copper bullets I have ever tried has been when found deal on them just to get the brass.. I guess to have been more fair I should say I have no luck with Barnes factory loads.. but if I find deal on just the bullets I'll give them try hand loads.. I also should add that I use Barnes in my muzzleloader with great results

[@adarshasokansindhya]

😍😍😍

[@jodyspencer433]

Yeah buddy, I think you found your rifles fav load 👍👍

[@cameronwright5042]

I just bought an xt in 6.5. I am having issues with the magazine kicking out two bullets. Are you having any feeding issues from the magazine?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I have not seen that issue with mine

[@nickglyptis1860]

I told you the precision hunter would shoot awesome out of the PRC didn't I...To get even better groups take the can off it and yous the factory muzzle brake and it will shoot even better,the reason why is because the factory muzzle brake is specifically tuned to the rifle and Hornady test the rifle with the 143gr with the muzzle brake on. 🙂

[@MR_Garage]

My results mirror yours with my ruger M77 6.5 PRC. For off the shelf, Hornady 143 shoots tight. I also have a blackhound, but an older genesis. Looking to upgrade to the evolve lineup soon!

[@timshelley8635]

Nice shooting! I also think you've found your deer catching booluts

[@petercha2278]

What brand and model is the picatinny rail? I want to get one

[@MrBoostin18]

Norma makes a golden target in 6.5 prc

[@tylermurphy7597]

6.5 prc vs milk jugs!!

[@letstalkturkey883]

I just recently bought a savage Stevens 25-06, was curious which one would be a better long range rifle the 25-06 or the 6.5 prc?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I'd have to do the numbers side by side. Both get the job done.

[@charlesmorgan1879]

Very nice groups ! Gotta go vote gundies !

[@davidreinhart-bj2li]

try hornady outfitter 130 gr. CX BULLETS didn't shoot very good groups here..compared to other hornady fac.

[@hellyeah6987]

I'd still go with the barnes for hunting. Much better booolatt than the eldx in my personal experiences.

[@jeverett10051980]

Looking at buying that exact setup (CVA Cascade XT and the Banish30 suppressor). Curious to know what that rig weighs? (your rifle, suppressor, scope, rings, bullets)

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Not sure on the weight. I never really pay attention to weight

[@ssswdon]

Well I was expecting straight holes but it seems that those are kind of looking like key holes

[@jeffreybean5363]

Great Ammo test 👊🇺🇸

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching Jeffrey

[@JiggyjarjardoM77]

👍 👍

[@chadperry4021]

Since your taking a lot of different rifles and cartridges to longer distances, could we get a scale or rating system of how hard or easy a particular cartridge or setup is at long range?

[@Sourdough444]

I do noi know if the nut on the trigger is goofy or not, but that flip floppin rest sure is. Good shooting

[@ears1620]

That rifle just looks proper with a suppressor

[@Nick-bp7jf]

CVA not available here. Are they 'just' a re-badged Bergara? If so, it is not surprising they shoot so well. Ed Shilen was a consultant when Bergara built their Barrel facility.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Great video. How do you like the trigger on that rifle?

Love it

[@terrydodson7637]

WHO-TEE-WHO, that is a nice rifle and you're a big man. Does it matter the the rifle you are using is getting, heavier and heavier as you're getting older? Not criticism here just keep that thought in mind.
