Browning HCS in 6.5 PRC . Took some work for sure with 3 powders and 4 bullets but finally got some positive results today
A couple of .5 MOA groups at 200 yds
57.9 gr of N565 with a 140gr Accubond at 2980 fps. Going to do some seating tests tomorrow

Was thinking about building a custom 300 prc but I can get the HCS complete for the price of an action for the custom and if both shoot .5 moa...... hmmm

Dang, was thinking that would be a 1/2 moa with factory ammo. But good to know a load that is!

My 300 wm in HCS is .75 moa with 200 gr Partitions at 2980 fps. Both took some work for me but I'm happy with results. I think they are pretty decent guns for the price.
I should have mentioned the 6.5 PRC is set up at .010 off the lands

I will be doing the same soon. Can you share your results? Powder, charge, jump, etc. Do you use a spread sheet?
Are you asking me or Magnum Willey

This is for my Browning 6.5 PRC HCS
I ended up using N565
57.9 gr with 140 Accubond with my best group at .010 off lands at 2980 fps. I have not tried any other bullet with this powder but will try some Partitions but I would rather use them
I was showing slight pressure signs at 58.2 gr of N565 at 3005 fps and slight pressure signs at 58.4 gr of RL26 at 3045 fps
