New here to the forum and I have some questions. I want to really reach out to the far limits with this little Howa Plinker that is new to me. I reload and have a good selection of .264 bullets, as I also shoot a 6.5 PRC out to 2k yards.
I just wonder..... for you benchrest shooters, what is the highest ballistic coefficient bullet you are pushing, out this tiny little case?
The Hornady 147gr ELD Match, that I shoot with my PRC is a bullet I would like to try, as it has a BC of .697. I know it will have to be pushed into the case, hence taking up some room for powder. But has anyone tried it?
If I could get 2,200 fps out of it, I should be able to get over 1,000 fps at a mile (1,760) at my elevation of 5,000 feet. It would be super-sonic at 1,400 yards.
Who has load data and experience for long bullets with high BC's with the Grendel?
