So Robert what is your ideas on a 300 PRC we talked about the 7mm 300 300 Wm but if I am going to add a 30 cal into the mix and factory ammo for it now .. if the data I looked up is correct 1000 lb mark is out near 1250-1300 Now that does what the 300 WM does and better as well staying with the 30 cal bullet new loads will be coming for sure and in lighter bullet weights as well .
Still looking back the 6.5 PRC is yes going to roll that 1000 mark back to 900 however much less recoil in a ultra light weight rig . and not sure when I will get the chance to hunt beyond the 1000 very often .
I know waffle waffle HA HA HA

just a suggestion, Robert will put out the official order form as soon as he in convinced these rifles will do what they are supposed to do. He WILL NOT build anything unless it will go out of the shop with the Alamo Precision Brand on it.
as far as cartridges, Go to these forums, join them and ask questions. Accurate Shooter.com, Long Range Hunting.com, 24 Hour Campfire.com, Snipershide.com You will learn all about EVERY option out there. Give Robert time to make these rifle's shoot like we want them to.
This is MY opinion only but I would stay with the more common calibers re: 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm mag.270, .300 Win Mag, again in MY opinion only, the RUM Magnums, Big, Heavy calibers might be better built off a different set up. Discuss this with Robert when the order sheet is put out.
I'm super excited about the Texas Bowhunter Group Buy !!!!

It went good overall. I didn't get through all of them due to a meeting yesterday and the rain today, but made some good headway earlier this week. Will resume next week and hopefully finalize everything. The "wrap" itself is pretty much solid and final. I do have another internal contour inbound that I think will be it based on results from the other ones. My other tester put a 40 round group through one of the 6.5's non-stop and it never walked. Probably killed it, but it stayed put. I did have one of the 6mms open up, but we were testing a contouring method and pretty much expected it to have that effect.
