Anyone planning on a race this season? I'm taking my twin daughters to Vegas in Nov. for the 21th birthday they Love the F1 too..
Just waiting on the tickets.

I was thinking about doing Vegas too but I have too many big money plans this year so I will probably plan on next year. Used to go to Indy races as a kid. My dad always got Long Beach and Fontana pit and suite tickets for those through his work. Its what got me into racing.

I like ideas of the growable stock! That is the biggest disadvantage with the small rifles. Fortunately my 2 kids were far enough apart that when it was time to introduce my son to shooting, my daughter was ready for a bigger rifle. That repeated itself when my son outgrew the scout, my daughter was ready for her own next (Kidd).

You do the best that you can. Save what you can. Don't fret about it. Improve your career and income when the opportunity presents itself. Don't get caught up in the materialistic things that you don't have. Everyone has bills, aspirations, and the other things you mention. Keep things in balance...enjoy your life.

The one thing that I would do over again if I were young is to spend more time with friends and family and enjoy their company. I spent too much time climbing the corporate ladder and missed out on a lot.

That's the only advice I can offer that is worth a damn.

It’s hard to make up for lost time in the market. You have to figure out your goals and proceed from there. You either have enough to do all of it, or you don’t. If you don’t, then you have to look at your priorities.

I wish I had an answer for you, but I will say that you’ll never be able to buy time or missed experiences back. My friend’s dad had great plans for retirement, but he died at 55 and did none of those plans. That has always stuck with me.

Thank you! Very solid advice. Definitely trying the best I can but feel like I’m failing in some capacity every day. There is always room for Improvement.

Well, the *one* thing the super spiller has going for it is the large tube. It’s much faster and dispenses powder much better than the big black V4 tube.

I tried Staball HD in 300 NM and the SDs just weren't good. I was trying 230gr SMKs. I ended up using N570 and the numbers came together without much of an issue.

I am using Staball HD in the 7 PRC with 175gr ELDX with good results. Staball seems to perform best near compressed loads. It wasn't looking too stellar for the 7 PRC either right up until the last 2-3 powder charges I was testing. With the case mostly full the SDs came down into the single digits.

Thanks. The more I have been thinking about it, the more the 6.5cm makes sense also. It seems like a good starting point. I will be running a Nomad on it. Would you still go with a 26-28"? That would be a long boy.

Do you think I would see a huge diffrence in being able to spot my misses between a 6.5cm and the 6mm options?

I like running my 6.5 Creedmoors at 24", but it's all personal preference.

How do you envision a V5?

I would go at least 26” personally but up to you. Don’t go below 24” is my advice though. Below is a pic of my 28” .308 with my B&T SRBS 762 on it. No problem getting around with it at all match.

You should be able to see your misses with either. Obviously a small 6mm like the ARC will recoil less but the Creedmoor is not bad and will do better ballistically for you. You choice though. I have both personally. You can always get a 6ARC barrel down the road easy enough.

I had a '70 Buick deuce and a quarter. Convertible. Gold with wire wheels and a beige interior. It was my life.

'70 was the fastest of GM's. Electra 225 had the large 'stage 1' valved heads.

New site does suck! The password reset worked first try, most of my history from the past few years is still there as well as industry account/pricing.

It will depend on the barrel throat and ammo dimensions. 100 rounds seems low but it can happen. That line appears to be the very start of the ring (early on in the development).

So is there anyone planning on getting anything new this year? After shot show and a few new rifles showed off. Anyone planning on getting something new this coming summer.

That actually looks like a carbon ring, the barrel is not welded

I doubt anyone getting hit by a 6.5creed or. 308 in COM or the head is going to notice the difference. It's going to be an instantly incapacitating kill shot either way.

Shooters on these guns aren't typically tasked with direct action HR.

They are going for a center mass anchoring as fast as possible.

Perhaps a head shot could be had if that's all that is exposed to a direct flight path but it wouldn't be something they train for like other US LE.

Thanks for looking. Up top for a small firing pin 338 bolt. All comes to worst I’ll settle for a large firing pin model.
