6.5 PRC Ridgeline...tack driver, sub MAO in my experience. Hornady 143gr.
For what it's worth, I do recall (if memory correct?) reading that sub Moa for Christensen rifles only guaranteed with 'factory loads'.... referenced too many variables in handloads to guarantee sub MOA
What's the recoil on that 6.5 PRC? I am debating a Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC or 7MM-08

Goon - sure there is a list/chart of recoil specs in pound of pressure etc., for comps...but it's much lighter recoil for sure than the ole 30/30 or 30/06. I do shoot with the muzzle break included, but not sure how to quantify the recoil for you in comparisons to 7MM-08, guessing the 6.5PRC is less but that's just a guess. The PRC does have just a tad bit more recoil than the 6.5 creedmore but the PRC shoots flatter and has more punch downrange.... all with less recoil than other calibers.
