Malinois Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I was watching a series of videos on YouTube about the ROR in 6.5 where they were saying it definitely needs a brake or a mod. I am just deciding what to buy. A stock and barreled action or an ROR in 6.5. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just deciding what to buy. A stock and barreled action or an ROR in 6.5. Ian Based on my own personal experience (limited at the moment since its quite new), I would have no hesitation in recommending the Ruger PR, in fact; subject to a variation I may eventually purchase a Ruger PR in .308. The only issue with the PR in .308 for me was the 20" barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 In 70 degree weather I get 2740 fps with my RPR using a mid level charge of IMR 4064 in military brass using a 168 grain bullet. A twenty inch tube doesn't hurt it any, trust me. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A twenty inch tube doesn't hurt it any, trust me. ~Andrew In the Ruger (6.5CM) I am using Lapua cases, 140gr Hornady Amax and 43 gn Superformance powder (need to buy a chronograph), I am most impressed with this combination (at the moment). In the AI AT (.308) I have used Lapua cases, 185gr Berger and 41gn IMR 4895 (also recently made a batch of 39.2gn for testing based on mid point in the book for 180-190gr bullets - not tested these yet). Subject to a variation (you will know what I mean if you understand the UK firearms legislation), I may eventually purchase a Ruger PR in .308. The Ruger will probably end up like my 10/22 and become modified. Lets see a picture of your Ruger PR Using factory ammunition in the AI AT (26" barrel), Sellier & Bellot (147grs FMJ) = between 2767 - 2776 fps and using FIOCCHI (150GRD. FMJ) - 2723 fps.

Mike I have had that problem previously, but it was the whole thread not the post. I started a thread named "Show your Accuracy International" - people posted pictures (as you may have guessed I have an interest in AI's), then the thread disappeared! Also a similar problem with my "Show your Rimfire" thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengo Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just a quick question...... Has anybody else had a problem with the RPR 6.5 Creedmoor not being able to accept the AICS magazines? Mine shoots like a dream with the Magpul magazines supplied with it, but it just will not accept any of the AICS magazines I have tried. And as far as I'm aware, these should fit!!! Any ideas as to why this might be? Cheers. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
