PRS Cartridge change advice

New PRS shooter here, went from a 6.5 Creed shooting 140’s to a 6.5x47 shooting 123 Scenars now looking at the 6BR/A. I got to shoot someone’s BR only at 300 yards but really liked the recoil impulse and accuracy, never owned a 6mm so have a few questions for you all. Would it be worth it to move away from the 6.5x47 to a 6BR/A? I like the idea of the BRA getting alittle more MV and using 109’s. I hear it’s easy to fire form BR to BRA, and like that idea since I want to keep things as simple as possible if Iam going to fire form. I currently have Varget and CCI 450’s from my x47. I like the idea of the BR/A because of the Lapua brass, ease of tuning, longer barrel life I hear about. I really like the 6.5x47 but wanted to hear from the guys that have switched and see if it’s worth the change. Again Iam fairly new to PRS but want to make sure I spend wisely if Iam going to make the change. Thanks

China - something is up?

I’m seeing social media reports of Chinese military units rushing to their capital, a freeze on flights into and out of the area, and a news blackout with rumors swirling about coup attempts or (more likely) an internal house cleaning of political figures who oppose Xi. Anyone have a good read on what’s up? Official propaganda sources such as bbc, fox, etc are all radio quiet.

Accessories WTS lathe supplies and True Bore Alignment System

I had a lathe on order but due to some health issues with my wife, I had to cancel the order.

I have a brand new still in the box Straight Shot Gun Smithing True Bore Alignment System. I was waiting on a precision Matthew’s 1440GT so this kit has a D1-5 spindle attachment and comes with a Gator 6 jaw chuck. Asking $2200

I have some indicators and a JGS floating reamer holder as well if there’s any interest.

I didn’t post pictures because everything is in brand new in the box but would be happy to open them up if need be.

PRS Talk Backpack for PRS matches

I shot my first two PRS matches this season and I made a list of needs and wants of items to buy going forward. One item high on the needs list is a backpack. Right now I’m using my Midway USA range bag to carry my gear but with the addition of a tripod I now can’t move everything from stage to stage in one trip. A backpack will be much easier to transport my gear leaving my hands free to carry my rifle.

What packs are people using and seeing at matches? Im looking at options from Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier, Eberlestock, Kifaru, and Kuiu. I currently run a Kuiu Pro system for my hunting load out and very much like it, but I don’t like to mix my hunting gear with other disciplines. I don’t think the pack needs to be very big. Somewhere in the 2,000 cubic inch range should be plenty.

SOLD WTS / WTT: 2 RCBS Chargemaster 1500s with Area 419 Inserts

Both of them work perfectly fine and are accurate.

'She and I go back a long ways. She was 12, I was 30.'

FJB recognizes a face in the crowd at a Teachers Union, leers and stops his speech to tell the woman 'You better come say Hi to me. We go back a long ways. She was 12. I was 30...(She) helped me get a lot done.'

WTF??

Whats even worse is the teachers cheered and clapped. I'm beginning to believe grooming and pedophilia now earns extra credit in the teaching profession.

When did Americans become so F*cking Stupid?

In hindsight, I started noticing the beginning of the end in the late 90's,early 2000's. Then it accelerated at breakneck speed during the Obama years. With the election of our current mentally disabled President, I realized we're done, finished. Seriously, how did our population get so fucking stupid so quickly? Just look at the current political situation. The Democrats have basically destroyed our economy, increased crime 10x fold, energy costs are through the roof, mentally disturbed freaks that can't decide what gender they are are setting the agenda, we are being invaded by illegals at the border, etc. Yet, unbelievably, at least 50% of our population will still vote for these idiots. In my mind, no sane person would elect a single Democrat ever again. Yet they have a real shot of keeping control of Congress. How the fuck can this be? A lot of it is these stupid fucking women (and pussy beta males) who are incapable of thinking critically about anything other than abortion. They can't afford to eat, drive to work, their rent, aren't safe in their neighborhoods, and their kids are being indoctrinated in school by leftists. But the the most important thing for these cunts is that they can have an abortion every few months. These women are controlled by their vaginas, and by god they will vote to protect their right to be sluts even if the country is falling apart around them. I don't fucking get it :(

Take a look at Pennsylvania for example. You have a candidate for Senate, John Fetterman, who basically looks and acts like a dirtbag thug with his goatee, hoody and tattoos. The guy could be a spokesman for Antifa and fit right in. He can't even speak since he had a stroke a few months ago. Yet this guy is going to win the race, mark my words. Are Pennsylvanians really this idiotic? Apparently yes. Then you have that bald fuck in AZ, Mark Kelly. The guy has done nothing but support Biden's agenda. He supports open borders in a state like Arizona. You would think this guy wouldn't get 10% of the vote. But he is going to win, no question. Then you have that twat Hassan in New Hampshire. A leftist whose only campaign promise is to keep abortion legal for the women in the state who get pregnant every few months. She has no other agenda, none. But she is going to win the election. These are just a few examples.

I honestly and truly believe the best years are behind us and they are never returning. It's all down hill from here. And it's all due to the utter stupidity and lack of common sense from our fellow Americans. Most of whom are dumber than a fucking tree stump and have no business voting. Rant over and no apologies from me given or offered.

I'm sorry for posting this....DO NOT read or go to the link if you have thin skin.

I'm usually pretty laid back, not much gets the hate flowing towards someone or topic. I don't mind conversation, I enjoy hearing both sides of the argument.

With this shit I just don't know anymore....I can't even FATHOM the conversation people have gone thru to get to this point. I read thru this article just to end up speechless.

Does anyone park on train tracks?

With a hand cuffed 20yr old woman in the locked in your car, then when a train comes instead of risking your life to attempt to save her from your idocracy, you yell “stand back”


I’d wager if I did this I’d be spending the rest of my life in jail and my estate would be liquidated, guessing they’ll get a paid vacation and maybe not make their next promotion, and the taxpayers, who did nothing wrong, will pay her family

Is my barrel shot?

After a few months I took out my Sons CZ457 Precision Varmint trainer. It used to group sub MOA but started throwing fliers and shooting really big groups. Checked bore thru a scope and saw brass filings. Cleaned it and shot it again with different ammo and it did the same thing. 5” groups at 50yrds. Checked the bore again and see brass shavings and pitting.
It has about 1500 rounds not enough to shoot out a barrel. Confused to what the issue might be

Thanks in advance

Best factory 308 win?

Will soon receive my first 'precision rifle' build, and am looking for ammunition for it to get things going. Looking to buy a few thousand rounds to start. It's an origin action, with a Bartlein 26" M24 barrel with 1:10 twist. I do not have a reloading setup and am in the process of preparing to move so won't be getting one anytime soon. So, I'm looking for the best factory ammo I can get in the meantime. Was wondering what you guys reccomend?

Thanks!

‘Just Good Common Sense’: UK Confirms it Will Lift Fracking Ban in England


The UK government has removed a ban on the use of fracking in England, with the country’s Energy Secretary telling the house of commons that the move is “just good common sense”.

A ban on the use of fracking in England that has been in place since 2019 has finally been lifted in the face of the ongoing energy crisis, with the UK Energy Secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg, having said the decision makes “just good common sense”.

Speaking in the commons on Thursday, Rees-Mogg outright dismissed any suggestion that fracking posed any danger through seismic activity, saying that such notions were bourne out of a total misunderstanding of how earthquakes are measured.

"We know that shale gas is safe," Jacob Rees-Mogg tells MPs as the government lifts ban on fracking
The business secretary says "bringing on this supply will bring us cheaper energy which we need" adding "it is sheer ludditery that opposes it"https://t.co/xrsTay3Jvg pic.twitter.com/9gCqkRxWF9
— BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) September 22, 2022


“It is safe. It is shown to be safe,” the long-time Brexiteer said. “The scare stories have been disproved time and again.”


Going to be interesting to see how long "good common sense" prevails.
