6mm ARC bolt gun for competition?

I'm really enjoying the 6ARC for PRS. Granted this is my first season and I'm a shitty enough shooter that it's more about learning than being competitive.

Tried reloading it with 103 eldx's, 107 SMK's, 108 eldm's and 112 match burners. In a stock Savage bbl I haven't been able to get anywhere near Hornady's advertised speeds without hitting pressure signs. I've spent the most time shooting 107 SMK's at 2615 with 27.9gr of LVR and 112 match burners at 2525 with 27gr of LVR.

I have a Rock Creek bbl from PVA on order that I'm really excited to try for both a better rifle balance and hoping something will be different about the chamber and I'll be able to get another 200fps out of it.

All told I'm having fun with it, and the throat is holding up amazingly well for having 1300 rounds through it.

Hello AKM, been playing with the 6ARC on a savage with a PVA Osprey 26" bbl attached is the velocity data with LVR from the Garmin with Barnes match burners 105's. Is just an idea on velocity versus powder charge with LVR on this particular bbl. None of the primers were flattened just a little cratering on the last 2 high loads.

I had the wrong dates when I posted that I couldn't come but I see that the signing in link shows registrations closed would very much like to come even if it was an audit status although I would liketo try to shoot after everyone is finished if possible for experience I could even help out with odd jobs. I would be driving from new your, I would not mind company but I would like to travel up to lower Cody and Lower Montana and back 90 I participate this would be about 2 weeks. Please advise me of what is possible

I'm not sure but I think pop is used in the midwest. Some people say Coke. I don't care to learn much about my enemies. There's no point.

When I was in school in upstate NY, we had a distinct "Pop/Soda" culture. One of my best friends was from "Pop" land. Best we could tell that the "Pop" line went from Ft. Drum through Utica and down in to Wilkes-Barre. From there... no idea. But West of that line... Pop. East was Soda. New England was all Soda.

Later, in North Carolina, I learned that everything was "Coke." You could have Orange Coke. Root Beer Coke. Ginger ale Coke.

When I lived in Texas everything was called Dr. Pepper because that's all they drank. And Jarritos.

But it seems to have changed in 40 years. Here's a map.

'Soda,' 'pop,' or 'coke': More than 400,000 Americans weighed in, and a map of their answers is exactly what you'd expect

Americans have different words for soft drink depending on which region of the United States they're from. The three most popular terms are soda, pop, and coke, according to data collected by the site Pop Vs. Soda.

I thought that too. Someone's career in the military is over.

I see retirement in the Commander's near future as well..

If it was some Chief who wanted to torpedo a commander he didn't like.... noone will find out a thing or touch him. If it was some swabbie... well, my guess is that they don't hand full auto weapons to their Captain. Just a guess.

Commander's career is over. You don't survive being made a meme on the next step in the Ziggurat to full captain. The fitness report will be... all 5's (as usual... then again, is it still done with all 5's?) But everyone will know he is going to get axed. And he will get outed as a mere O-5. And go to work for Raytheon.

How normal is a $12,000 property tax bill? I mean, it looks like her property is $2 million. That is not normal property even in Montana in 2024.

What is the median value? Hard to find, since most stories either list average value or sales - and properties that sell may not represent median home values statewide. So I am guessing more like $450k? What is the tax on a more median property like that?

A lot of "talk" last fall. But, nothing came of it so the property taxes went up in a State with a bulging surplus fund. Go figure.

How to spend a $2.5 billion surplus? Lawmakers have no shortage of ideas.​

I would have absolutely loved to have found a 1200 sqft house in a nice neighborhood, but you can’t in the Dallas area. If you’re over 55 maybe, or willing to live in a town home. But then you’re paying $5k plus a year in HOA fees. The neighborhood we live in has 3k plus sqft homes. Most of the people are older with no kids. It is ridiculous to heat and cool that much home for 2 people, but if you don’t want your house or car broken into, I guess you deal with it.

The "Work From Home" era allowed people to find affordable 1,200 sq ft homes. That era is winding down. Those that returned to the office are making 20% + more than those that are holding out, working from home. But, many simply had enough of the big city and will scrape by to remain in smaller towns and own a home. Property tax in Montana is soaring due to the influx of people wanting a home.
Honestly I don't know how many of them can afford the house note. They must be getting some financial help... somewhere.
