I only asked for first hand experience, I worded it that way so I wouldn't get a bunch of , well,,,,,, watcha neeedta or watcha aughta, and ya shoulda BS. Other than one (there is always at least one) asshole, most of my discourse was somewhat helpful. It's not my rifle or my money, I actually suggested several different options. Why should I tell a multi millionaire or some asshole why or how he spends his money. His family has owned a 10,000 acre ranch in south Texas with huge Whitetails for a gazillion years. He respects my work and requested my help and I feel very honored that he did.
I am very thankful for all constructive comments and the people that provided them.
At this point I guess very few people have done this.
I put together a 6mm Creed w/ 16" barrel years ago and people were saying why not a ,243 or 6mm rem? I dropped a Mule deer @ 360 yds dead in its tracks a few years ago, along with many whitetails, prickly pears and varmints before and since.
You never know what you might find when you start messing with different loads and rifles.
Barrel was ordered before I even made the first post.
Once again Thank's to the people with constructive or related suggestions.

You're welcome (happy to be the "asshole", with first hand experience BTW). We all know that multi-millionaires know EVERYTHING about rifles, and that nobody should EVER question them...(y):oops: Especially if they own a 10,000 acre ranch. I bet the fact that his ranch has whitetails on it makes him an expert in just about everything there is. Non sequitur much...?

Your thin skin will not serve you well here, or in life...

Suppressors Will suppressor impact the POI?

I've seen poi shifts sure but not group size increasing at all with my personal setups and I have 20 something barrels with mounts on them. Had a buddy who seen his groups increase in size with a yhm mount system. 1-1.5moa to around 3moa.

I'd say the can/mount is loose or the bullets are just grazing the end cap.

It could open up depending on the setup and how much crap is in the suppressor too. On my 300NM initially I had my Hybrid 45 on the rifle direct thread. Shot fine, no issues. Then I put the brake and Keymo mount on the can and the groupings went to shit. Put everything back to direct thread and it shot fine again. Have since abandoned using that suppressor for that caliber and now run a TBAC Gen 2 338 Ultra SR. I also recently had 300WM start to shoot a legit 5-6" group. Swapped scope, barrel, moved the barrel to another gun, still had the same issues. Had TBAC look it over, checked internally for any strikes, none to be found, they ran it on the lathe to check for run out and within specs. Had them clean it and was also doing a upgrade on another one of my suppressors. The cleaning fixed it. I'm thinking with the years and years of shooting the Ultra 9, the carbon built up enough to effect the harmonics to start effecting the accuracy of the rifle.

Also had another rifle that I put on a Fat Bastard brake on the end of the barrel and the accuracy went to shit also.

Ranchman's Ponder Steakhouse in Ponder, Texas (north of Dallas.) BYOB. Call ahead to reserve your baked potato. Not kidding. Also, see the pics of celebrities on the wall who have made a special trip to this restaurant when they are in the area.

Statistics and such can be cherry picked, and manipulated to say pretty much what ever a skilled manipulator wants them to. Notice they didnt ask "Would you approve of....." They asked if it should disqualify the one who said it. It seems a fine line but I'd guess a very small, lunatic fringe, would actually approve of murder. And they made it as inflamatory as possible...that shit sells copy reading about Mother Theresa doesnt. And I hear on here random talk about needing to kill the Dummycrats. Nothing incrimating of course but....

Rifle Scopes School me on Magnification between brands. March PRS

oldrifleman
To follow up how much of a difference it makes is likely very subjective. I am a 67 old shooter with glasses. Some one with you eyes may not see things the same. I know I am talked alpha or near alpha glass here but I would bet the same exists with lower priced glass as well. It REALLY helps to try it out for yourself. Either find a great shop like CST or hit a busy range and snoop and ask to try the scopes ( most people will let you).
