Couple of quick questions?
What do you consider long range?
And if it's purely for target knocking & you'll be dialing anyway, why go for such a fast chambering? It does nothing the Creedmore () doesn't, at the added expense of quicker throat erosion.

Kinda fishing right now, waiting to see if a rifle deal comes off......
I need 50 rounds of pretty much anything i can shoot to fireform. I'll be reloading it, but i only have neck sizing gear suitable

5.56/.223 with a GOOD bullet is exceptionally good for deer.
I'd be looking for a Ruger American in .223 (or an AR) & load it up with 77gn Sierra tipped Matchkings. 65gn Gamekings if you can't find TMKs.

I'm guessing there's a mixture of everything from 125gn to 180gn. Some milsurp, Barnes, Winchester & Remington. Some FMJ, some SP. All carefully packed in a 5 gallon bucket. It's a damn good bucket though! Lowes branded & everything!
There's 150 rounds total & all i know about it, is that it's all factory stuff. NO RELOADS.
If anyone can use it as range fodder & brass, I'd take $120 for the lot.

I'm giving serious consideration to buying a sorta dream rifle of mine.
I have had a years long hankering for an M1a/M14 & I'd really like to see what, if anything, is out there & current values/prices.
I guess this is a bit of a fishing thread....
My only must-have is that it's got to be a wooden stock. I know there are different models available, in different configurations & barrel lengths, but as long as it has a proper stock, I'm probably ok with it.
I do have to move a few things before i buy (unless it's an honest to god bargain) so there's no guaranteed sale here, unless you're open to trade.
If you have something that fits the bill, please let me know!
Thanks.
EDIT: OK, I've raised the funds (very productive morning at the gunshow!) & I'm now ACTIVELY looking for a Scout Squad. Preference is still a wood stock though...

I need 17 pieces of brass. PPU would be ideal but I'm not picky.
I've got 183 loaded & my OCD is pinging like crazy when open that 4th ammo box.
Anyone? -
Sorry, misread the post!

6.5 PRC barrel life ??

Yeah, in your situation i would 100% go another way. Honestly, as vanilla as it is, a .30-06 will do all of that. .300WM/WSM the same but a bit quicker.
Here's an incomplete list of chamberings that'll do everything you need without killing your barrel in a year (deep breath......)
.270 (wsm/rsaum), .280, .280AI, 6.8 Western, 7-08, 7 mag (wsm/rsaum), .30-06, .300 mag (wsm/rsaum) 6CM, 6.5CM () .260, 6.5X55, .284, 7X57.......etc.
Pick the right bullet & they'll all work admirably.
