How far could you hit a 19”W x 24”H target with 100% certainty?

No aids. No kestrel. No range finder. No dope cards. No buddies to coach or spot for you.

Just you, your scoped rifle with bipod, and a rear bag (Wilcox turned off)

Target distance is unknown. Wind is 5 to 10 MPH shifting from 7 to 10 o’ clock. Target is unobscured, not moving, freshly painted white, and it’s daytime.

How far could make that hit, cold bore/shooter, with 100% confidence?

what's the go to caliber for PRS

So Im coming off of shooting a 6.5 for PRS. Distances are 600- 1300 yds. I choose that as I could buy ammo and didn't know how to reload. I have learned to reload and have someone willing to help me continue to learn load development etc. Whats the next best option? Was going to order a new barrel/caliber over the winter and start working up something. Was considering a 6 creedmoor or a 6GT. Whats everyones opinion. I prefer not to have to tinker with mag kits and or having feeding issues. Currently H4350 is plentiful where I am which also plays a factor.

Primer Material Failure?

I shot at a match today (took home 4th) and experienced my first blown primer.

The load is 41.3gr of H4350 behind a 140gr ELDM, CCI 450 primer, brass Alpha OCD 6x reloaded brass, and the barrel had been cleaned roughly 90 rounds before this happened.

On this shot I made impact and all following 8 shots were impacts. All brass fired after the blown primer show no head stamp markings due to the pits in bolt face, damage, etc.

Did do some pitting damage to my bolt face. Thoughts on this too?

Midterms - lulz 😂

So folks couldn’t be bothered to vote and the Dems buck one of the most predictable trends in politics as a result.

Il Douché Trump throws a fit as his grip both mentally and metaphorically loosens. Hopefully the enema of the Republican Party continues and we can get back to pushing actual conservative policies instead of dumbshit Donald fantasies. Oh, and I’ll even pop a bottle of bubbly if that useless piece of gash Beoburp losses her seat. Fucking embarrassment to humanity and very idea of sentience.

That is all. Go back to your ‘stop the steal’ mewlings and how you’re ready to fight for freedom one bag of Cheetos at a time.

Flamethrowers

Yes, flamethrowers. They do have practical applications. AFAIK, they are still legal in most of the free states right now. With that said, I'll post something new that I found to light up this thread.

Durable Hardshell Jacket for Hunting/Heavy Brush

I am looking for some real world feedback and advice on a good DURABLE hardshell jacket. I spend a lot of time in the South Texas brush country (cactus, mesquite) and the high alpine Colorado back country. I would like to find a good hardshell jacket that I can use as a do all outer shell. Money is no object. I just don’t want to buy a jacket that will snag an tear.

I prefer to buy something from one of the major brands they carry in store. REI, Academy, etc. I don’t want to mess with sizing through the mail.

Any advice?

2024: What are you thinking now- other than Trump.

The predicted Red Wave is becoming an expensive disappointment, even the squad was re-elected by a landslide.
and I don’t see Trump as electable, he’s burned too many bridges on all sides.
so…..
What are you thinking now on the presidential race, where the Chinese sock puppet may run again?
Anyone you like in particular, other than the Donald?

85 grain 223 in a bolt fun?

I have a sweet Remington stainless 23, one of the nice older ones with jeweled bolt. and a great break, bery low recoil. I find the heavier the ammo the more accurate. Ive been shooting 77 grain bthp. Another member mentioned getting great groups with 80 grain but i cant find any. There is some 85 grain available at a decent price, I was thinking of picking up 5 boxes to try, but is that ammo for specially throated match guns and would damage my Remington? Knowledge appreciated
