Ruger Precision Rifle, which caliber?

[agtman]

and as good as the RPR's shoot, they really deserve match ammo.

That part I agree with.

Regardless of chambering, no one should buy a RPR only to feed it junk factory ammo. It deserves Match-quality ammo exclusively - again, regardless of caliber.

I am a reloader, but not at bench rest quality, yet. I used to reload 243 on my RCBS Jr. press 40 years ago but now have better, faster, equipment.

Just waiting to find a gun now.

Your reloads can be much more taylored to your particular rifle than any factory ammo. In addition to component selection and charge weight you control seating depth, neck tension and case dimension relationship to the barrels chamber. Those all can contribute accuracy performance.

Quoted from earlier post on this thread"
"The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed to shoot 6.5 projectiles from a AR style gun."
I suspect the poster was thinking about the 6.5 Grindel, which actually was developed for AR type rifles. (See Hornady handbook for history.) The 6.5 Creeds have mostly been a bolt rifle situation.

The original AR is NOT the AR 15. The 6.5 Creedmoor runs great in it.

"The original AR is NOT the AR 15. The 6.5 Creedmoor runs great in it."

FWIW, the original "AR" - the Armalite AR1 Parasniper - was a bolt action.

That would be interesting in 6.5 Creedmoor.

I was at a gun show today and there was one RPR. $1100, but it was 308, not the 6.5 or 243 that I was looking for.
