Ep. 146 - Rifle Setups | 18 INCH 6.5 PRC |

[@jcprecisionrifle]

Love seeing your Rifles! Keep them coming!

[@quintonhays371]

Love these rifle videos. MAKE A HEAVIER 6.5 ELDX FOR THE PRC to compete the 156 berger

[@Godfryness]

I really appreciate you guys doing this podcast. I have a lot of Hornady products and am happy.

[@hornady]

Glad you like them!

[@markinaction1]

Very nice rifle! Thanks for the idea. This will work good for stalking the swamps, power lines and setting up on fresh cutdowns in Florida.

[@RoxVrod]

Preston you are being very practical with spending the money on just the capabilities you need for the targeted mission of the weapon platform. It sounds like you have a mule deer (and down) rifle that you can shoot well out to 600 yards but focused on 300 yards and under. Good podcast!

[@masonmcneill3969]

We missed Preston, thank god hunting season is coming back around so we get to see him more often 👍

[@clintivy623]

Seth! Let's see your hunting rigs too!

[@ccfdmd]

Good job. Appreciate all the answers to the why questions Definitely want more content like this

[@jamesmooney5348]

Very cool. Appreciate you sharing this build. I wouldn't do it, but it's still cool! Keep'm coming

[@jamesmooney5348]

It looks cool and handy!

[@hornady]

Thanks, will do!

[@cdavis0145]

These are great; they really help to break up all the super technical podcasts you guys have. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing so much information.

[@hornady]

Glad you like them!

[@orsonbroadbent3453]

I have learned a lot. From your podcast thanks 👍

Thanks for listening

Always enjoy seeing these.The budget build would be cool. I really want to see Jason’s go to for this hunting season. 🎉❤keep it coming guys

Video came at just the right time, my 18" 7prc is coming in the next week and so hyped to start load development!

[@HarvestAlaska]

I love seeing others setups keep them coming

[@Clark8435]

I run the 2020 Waypoint in 6.5 PRC and I use your CX bullet. Works every time.

[@d.g.1620]

How many grains? Barrel length?

[@mikem4011]

Love the build vids. Have a 24" Bergara in 6.5 PRC that I've been running. This vid makes me want to build out an 18" next.

[@MrHuntermikey]

Have a Bergara rifle in the Wilderness Ridge. Really good shooting rifle. Especially with the 143 ELD X bullet

[@HuskerHunting]

That's a nice setup. Great to see the action from another Nebraska manufacturer!

[@Meh-hr7gq]

Hornady!!!! Please start loading your ammo to advertised velocity!!!!! My friend is getting tired of reloading my ELDX to spec!

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

You know they test with 24” barrels, right? Your 20 or 22” barrel isnt going to hit their numbers.

[@Meh-hr7gq]

@ yes. I’m aware. Their numbers don’t hit in any length barrel. This is not a secret.

[@Steve-m7c1g]

I shot their factory 7mm prc 175 eldx thru a 24" and it got 2780 fps and thru my 20" shot 2680..... bax said 2900 from a 24" i belive my hand load shoot 180 eldm at 2900 with n565 and cci 250. 1/4 moa and absolutely deadly

I really like the salmon River solutions full length ARCA.

[@adubzalicious]

these are great, just add a gun show and tell to every episode/interview!

[@felixrochajr83]

Really liked. Yes Budget rifles. ❤️

[@TyScott85]

These videos. Keep em coming. Just because we don’t always want to see $4k guns. Doesn’t mean we need ultra budget Ruger Americans. I’d love to see Tikka, Savage, Bergara aswell.

[@JamesClark-lw6sw]

Fook Tikkas.

[@jerrysmith9935]

that is a all around set up 18 in 6.5 prc light wt short action 0 -500 yard getter done set up . love that set up in hunter mdt chassis.

[@dustyprevette3364]

Antelope tastes good if prepared right at the time of kill and depending on what they eat. Elk where I’m from makes the best burger.

[@juliusbaker8731]

Do more! Good podcast as always guys!

[@hornady]

More to come!

[@daveknowles3055]

Great video. Up here in Canada we are not allowed to use suppressors so I would go for extra barrel length and maybe a short hunting muzzle brake depending on the caliber.

[@davidlaroche8928]

Handy short barrel package truly get it done. My go-to is a 19inch 6.5SAUM running Hornady components filling our freezers every year. Once you have Roosevelt elk you may change your mind towards Antelope being the best game meat ......and im not guessing 😊

[@hornady]

Would love to try!

[@jaydunbar7538]

I’m betting you couldn’t tell the difference if both are prepared the same, plenty of organizations have did blind taste tests and NOBODY beats the odds of flipping a coin.

[@jonenlow8490]

We need a 22 and 6 arc builds

[@fattigla]

I'd love to see the 6mm ARC bolt action rifle setups the guys have put together.

[@heathadams1274]

I would love to see Judd's Ruger build. I'm mostly done with mine and would like to see if he went similarly to mine or a different direction.

[@charlesmullins3238]

I put the 22x lht on carbon waypoint that’s similar to this one. Love to have a manners..have many 6.5prc handloads

[@jonathanneese7743]

Love it!! Absolutely do more

[@hornady]

Thank you! Will do!

[@chadperry4021]

I’d love to see some howa mini builds from you guys.

[@Greyzonecompliant]

22 arc to 338 arc 18 inch I would watch that show 😉👍

[@sunlifekm41]

Great video! Would love to see some builds with in house cartridges that might be less well known (17 HMR, 375 Ruger, 450 bushmaster, 300 RCM)

[@hornady]

Great suggestion!

[@loganhallman]

Any chance we can see a 300prc hunting rifle next? Did a 7 and 6.5 so far

[@NickGerring]

Maybe some hints as to what new products or cartridges you may be debuting in the near future. 1 to start the buzz for shot show 2. So we can plan budgets and builds haha

[@fattigla]

The little bit of antelope I've had has been really good. I've never harvested an antelope, but I've heard from several people that you can't care for your meat like deer. I'd be interested to hear experienced antelope hunters weigh in on this.

[@hornady]

I like to get the hide off as quick as possible to get the meat cooling. That seems to help.

[@rodneywilliams2458]

Great podcast, Great cartridge. I have a question. I have a 300 wsm that shoots 150 grain interbank bullets. (Handloads). About 3000fps at muzzle. Will pthis combination handle bullets elk out to 300 yes with a good broadside side . Groups my landlords very good.

[@hornady]

Wouldn’t see why not

[@daltonkuehn8140]

I wanna see Joe’s .300 PRC mountain rifle!!

He is! And he's a great guy, we should!

[@gman4785]

Another great and interesting podcast! One question about your wall covering in the background. Why are those bullets seated so deep in the powder space? It drives me nuts looking at that.😂

[@TBJCrawlerz]

I could really use your guys help on figuring out what cartridge and rifle i should look into getting, im looking for a rifle to get me back into the hunting seen and need a 1 and done rifle and cartridge for both mule deer and elk i have 2000$ budget for just a bare rifle. Will be hunting in Washington state.

[@websant8299]

it would be good to know if, by virtue of your employment by Hornady, you receive any discounts on the products you discuss.

[@jamesmooney5348]

Seth seems to know more about Prestons rifle than he does.... 🙂

[@hornady]

He's nerdy in that way - Preston

[@markmtbrider]

Is the prc as accurate as the creedmore ? I am wondering if the extra 300fps is worth it for deer and smaller critters and long range steel ringing .

[@kbowen2251]

Let's see some updates classics! Anyone have a rebarreled Remington 700? Also... Any muzzleloader builds y'all wanna show off since it's almost those seasons?

[@keithsutherland6876]

I have a genuine question… Why does Hornady refuse to make a 165gr or 170gr .277 bullet? I like Hornady bullets but I primarily shoot a 6.8 Western and I’d really like to have an SST or ELD to load for my 6.8

[@jrhunt414]

I’ll stick to my 26” creedmoor. If I’m going short barrel, I’m using 308. I’ll never understand short barrel small projectile magnums. I guess I’ll also never understand owning $200 stamps either.

[@mryang3644]

I want a 18inch barrel pushing 2900+ fps...... what can do that accurately...

With what bullet?

[@flynnryder7798]

22 creedmoor

[@mryang3644]

Highest BC for its Caliber

Don't think 22creed with the heavies gonna reach 2900

[@flynnryder7798]

@@mryang3644 it will. it runs around 3300 with a 24 inch barrel. Youre not going to lose over 400 fps by taking off just 6 inches.

Do some tikka budget builds plz

[@buckhenderson1788]

So basically a 6.5 creedmoor

[@hornady]

Yep

[@TheNutzandBoltz]

Antelope is the sole reason my wife won't eat wild game. She was 5 months pregnant and that mature buck was eating sage brush and he stank up the entire house.

[@jaydunbar7538]

Not an antelope, it’s a pronghorn. Antelope are closer related to cattle, buffalo, and bison in the family Bovidae where as pronghorn are the last member of the Antilocapridae family.

[@Atticus1354]

​@jaydunbar7538 Antelope is a perfectly fine common name to use just like pronghorn.

pronghorn is better than elk 100%

[@REDNECKROOTS]

Yea let's cut the barrel to 18" and Rob a pile of velocity off the projectiles. Yea that makes sense. 😒 🫢

[@jaydunbar7538]

Velocity versus portability, it’s been a compromise since the first musket was ever made and the question hasn’t changed. For running can a shorter barrel is nice and that’s what he has it built for so it makes perfect sense. I don’t run cans on hunting rifles so I run 26” barrels on my magnums for that velocity, both work it’s just a personal preference question.

[@FC2ESWS]

Put a 8" suppressor on it and it makes sense.

[@AZFarmFun-hp1cu]

The title makes me cringe. Chopping the barrel neuters the entire reason behind the 6.5 PRC. It’s like mounting tires from a Honda Civic on my Ram 2500. I love your 6.5 PRC, but mine comes out of a proper 24” Tikka barrel.

[@hornady]

The content explains it. Maybe a better analogy would be having a hemi in it instead of a cummins :)

[@Josh-uf1rv]

False

[@flynnryder7798]

Yeah, it’s only getting about 100-150 fps more than an 18 inch creedmoor would get.

[@RedOctober5]

​So 18" 6.5 PRC is real close to a 22" 6.5 Creed.. ​@@flynnryder7798

[@Deuceblank]

Thumb says 18 inch 6.5prc, i just LMAO!!!! I like the prc but u just neutered it. Not even watching the whole video on how you justify it. 308 or 6.5 creedmoor, DONE. Dumbest rifle i own is an 18inch 25-06 😂😂😂😂

[@FC2ESWS]

My 18" PRC shoots 143 ELD-X at 2800 fps which is about the same as a 24" Creedmoor. With my 8" suppressor on it, they are about the same length. Putting the same suppressor on a 24" barrel makes it really hard to hunt with.

[@MTCKIE68]

Stupid rifle build. Basically, you have a short barrel 6.5 creedmore. I will never understand all of these light short barrel gun builds. If you can't carry 15lbs, don't go hunting, and if you don't know how to carry a 24in heavy barrel gun, don't go hunting. Absolutely pathetic !!

[@warnniklz]

Sounds like you're trying to get invited on a mountain hunt.

[@hornady]

Interesting take 🤔

[@loganmorton9304]

lol clown

[@mryang3644]

A 18inch build, for me, should be pushing 2900+fps

Love to see you pack your 15 pound rifle round the southern alps in nz for a week lol

[@terrycalvert7812]

This era of chop your barrel off and drop your rifle a whole class in velocity all to make room for a silencer is so stupid!! People turning 6.5 prc into 6.5 creed 300 win into 308 and 28 nosler into 280 AI is so dumb to me!! Your only going to fire a shot or two hunting and your worried about the loud bang from the rifle but the same people drive their cars with the radio blasting!! If your worried about noise don’t put a brake on the rifle buy noise canceling ear pro this silencer carp is all just an excuse to neuter a rifles velocity!! Everyone thinks these silencers have a cool factor to them but there not cool at all they hinder accuracy and if it didn’t F class shooters would use them and they don’t!! Its a fad that will come and go and everyone that chopped there rifle barrel will regret doing it when the fad is over!!

Everyone has their preferences. None more right than the other. Tinnitus is a real problem for some. And some like to avoid it. Thanks for the view and comment and good shooting!

[@jaydunbar7538]

@@terrycalvert7812talk about a completely lopsided take with zero thought process. Suppressors have only ever gotten more popular, and are so well liked by those who use them and the others around that it’s considered rude in places in Europe to no use one. I don’t have any of my own, but I entirely understand why people do. Sounds to me like you can’t afford one so need to make up excuses why everyone else is wrong for having something you wish you could afford.

[@terrycalvert7812]

@@jaydunbar7538 ya got me!! You’re right I can’t afford one I have two!! I never said the suppressor was what I had the issue with the issue is people cutting there barrels down to 18 and 20 inches because they think they need to to run a suppressor and loosing hundreds of FPS!! All these people that cut their barrels talk about is shooting game at 300, 600, 900 yards so explain to me where in this country can you take a 300 to 900 yard shot in the freakn woods because the only place I could even see where a suppressor might be an issue on a 26 inch barrel would be in the woods your not taking a 600 yard shot in the woods!! But think what you want buy into the Hornady marketing because I’m sure your one of the ones ran right out and bought the 7 prc thinking it was going to best the 7 rem in velocity with 7 less gains case volume and after you did your 100 shot load development that Hornady said you had to do you blamed the chronograph not reading your shots properly!! People just fall for what the hell ever these guys say and 99% of it is bullshit marketing smoke and mirrors false inflated velocity hyped up BC figures and until you learn how to test these things for your self and stop listening to everything they tell you your going to be just as wrong as the fake info your eatting up!! Hell how long did they let people think they was still getting 3000 fps with their factory 7 prc load that they knew was only doing 2800 fps but they let y’all believe you were still getting that 3000 fps didn’t they!! Thats the kinda people I want to take advice from or buy products from!! Have you ever measured a component bullet from Hornady next to a Berger?? Bet not!! Well if you did you’d see who is out to build the most accurate bullet and who is out to just make sure there shit is on the shelf!!
