Help with 6mm offerings

So I have a 6mm CM with a 24in light varmint barrel. When the barrel is toast I'm going to switch to a 308 win. I'm thinking of trading a buddy some work, and he has a kelby atlas tactical action he'd give me for it

I like the 6CM, all I do is shoot from the bench and prone, from about 1-500 yards for groups, but I'm regretting a few things. One being barrel and maybe wishing I went with a heavier contour. After about 5-8 shots I'm getting mirage, And wishing I got a 26" instead of 24".

I've looked through the forums at length and the 6GT and dasher interest me. All I can find on the 6GT is "6 gay tiger." Which doesn't really tell me much.

Im looking for a cartridge that will shoot 107 smk and under, want something easy to load for and tune, and isn't a complete barrel burner. Any suggestions? Or opinions on what your favorite 6mm cartridge is?

The dasher interested me too because its less powder. Less powder for me means money saved to shoot more.

87,000 new IRS agents and brace rule forbearance

Random thought. I've been listening to a ton of different outlets on the details and implications of the new "final" brace rule by AFT and one guy (firearm lawyer who has a YT channel) recently mentioned something about the IRS being able to prosecute someone with up to 6 years (I think that was the number?) instead of the normal statute of limitation of 2 years if the defendant was shown to willfully avoid paying taxes? In this situation with the brace rule, the tax stamp forbearance. Is this why they want to hire 87,000 more IRS agents? Will they be transferred to the AFT to prosecute people for the brace crap? Thoughts? Am I totally off my rocker or should I stop pouring the Crown Royal tonight?

Suppressors Dissaproved-other

I’m wondering if I am fucked on this or if anyone has amended such. I efiled Form 4 on 4 suppressors In April. Just got 3 disapproved notifications in. My dealer did the paperwork on these and submitted them. Do I start over and go to the back of the line? I will call the ATF tomorrow and see what they can tell me.

Cheaper alternative to lapua 223 brass???

Looking for some recommendations for a cheaper alternative to my lapua brass? I have 500 pieces of 223 lapua that I would like to set aside for match ammo and then load some cheaper brass and bullets in bulk for positional shooting and prarie dogs. Have tons of 55gn bullets that shoot great and are cheap I just hate having the lapua brass broke up into 2 different loads/lots.

I was thinking starline if its decent, any feedback or other suggestions? Looking to pick up atleast 500 maybe 1k so I’m not loading all the time for pdogs and practice. Would be nice to have a bucket of loaded ammo.

"Diving Boards" - Solutions or More Problems (WM-LRF)?

"RAPTARs on MARS" - Weighing System Complexity vs. Workflow Simplification
[Scope + Weapon Mounted LRF] vs [BinoLRF + RDS]
(integrated azimuth/bearing to reduce glass (bino->scope) transition time?)
----------
RAPTARs et al. look cool for sure, adds weight but not too much - probably not optimally suited for PRS but more practical shooting styles (NRL/CD - "field matches") may have its benefits, but I wonder if these(WMLRF) truly are beneficial once in use (daylight) - or are they just redundancies and more-so useful fo night shooting?

A) Inside 400yd I think a WMLRF wouldn't be a great ROI - a pocket mono LRF or simply "eyeballing" distance can suffice in most scenarios, no?
B) 400-800yds with blind stages and semi hidden targets IDK if using your scope to find a target is going to help your overall speed to impact. Id guess that using a binoLRF would be the quickest way to find and range targets in that scenario; at that point what value is the WMLRF giving you other than confirming your binoLRF distance is similar? Plus you still have the issue of switching from bino to scope and reacquiring the target; even though you have an idea of targets general direction.
C) 800-1500yd I think a WMLRF would be pretty beneficial in workflow simplification (but at those ranges you normally have more time to shoot anyway...idk). Though I do think this is were WMLRF would shine, for daylight shooting - I [understand/more read a lot] that WMLRF is most useful for distance night shooting, no?
--------
The most useful (day) applications I can think of for WMLRF would be on open area stages with multiple, easily recognizable targets. In these cases you could see the targets that you need to hit with little issue, so find target area with RDS or [barrel slice], transition to scope and fine tune into target, click WMLRF for range/elevation solution, input ballistic answer into scope/hold (maybe clean up a wind call), fire - move to next target "XXXft to the right/left" and repeat.

Point being a WMLRF doesn't seem (at superficial glance) universally superior to binoLRF or even a pocket rangefinder (which I want to be wrong about, chime in with your thoughts/experiences behind rifles with WMLRF's and how your workflow is enhanced - or other intangible benefits that I likely missed). It seems to have limited application and won't replace a binocular for the [target acquisition/finding] portion in most cases.

Another way of approaching this - In your experience why/is a WMLRF 'juice worth the squeeze' given the price point on them is almost $10k?
---------------------
As a side note: A helpful improvement I can think of to increase overall speed (minimize transition time from finding target in bino --> scope on target) would be to have a compass azimuth integrated on both binoculars and WMLRF. That way you can use it as an 'indexing point' to get close enough to target vicinity during bino to scope transitions.

So I guess im wondering if 'azimuth' is displayed on WMLRF's like RAPTAR, or more likely the new Envision MARS?

Ruger RPR--live with or upgrade

I have a Ruger RPR 22 (not sure what the official title is) that I've used for 22 shooting. Its been okay, wandering zeros (probably that cheap scope) but as I grow, am I going to hit a ceiling with upgrades? One of my complains as a BigBoi(TM) is that 22s seem to all have children's dimesnions and I like a high cheek riser and fairly long LOP (My center fire rifles all are maxed out LOP--even in winter with heavy clothersr).

What are my upgrade paths and what am I getting on investment? I'mnever gonna be a national champ, but I do like to push myself to get more and more accurate and gun comfort/setup/trigger is a big thing for me.
