Stinkin' Light Bulbs

Hate to say it, but the long-term fix is going to be replacing the actual light fixtures with something (or a system) that has integral voltage regulators. LEDs are great, but more sensitive to the power fluctuations we see in our average power feed coming in from the city, and those bulbs just aren’t made to handle that wide swing.

When we did our site (before I retired a second time) we tried the bulbs in 1/2 the warehouse, but had the same issues. In tne end, we wound up doing a complete system swap and wiring upgrade; including work to the main feeds into the facility.

Do y’all have your own power plant?

338 Lapua Magnum

You haven’t mentioned which rifle this Is in?
I have my suspicions especially when you mention that you have been fighting it for 15 years but I’ll wait for your reply.

I’ve only shot Lapua brass in my Savage 110BA without issue.
It is in a Desert tech. Both in an original and an A1. 2 different barrels. Apparently chamber is too tight.

Most likely going to have a custom die made or buy the roll sizer. Seems to be only fixes.

Firearms LWRC 6 ARC and 224 Valkyrie

I have 2 LWRC rifles for sale.

1) $2,250 - LWRC 6 ARC with 224 valkyrie barrel. Started off life as a factory LWRC .224 Valkyrie rifle base on the Six8 receiver size. I swapped the barrel and bolt for a Craddock Precision 18" 6mm ARC barrel. Rifle +1 gas length and a SLR adjustable gas block. will come with extra 6 ARC bolt, factory 224 Valkyrie barrel and volt and gas block, and 4 Six8/224 Magpul mags. No muzzle device. Have not shot it.

2) $1700 - LWRC 224 Valkyrie rifle with short 11" rail. My plan was to build a 12.5"-14.5" 6 ARC rifle, so I traded the factory 14.5" rail for the shorter one. Decided to go with something else. I purchased this gun used and has approx 80-100 rounds in it. I have never shot it since I got it recently. Will come with 3 LWRC Six8 Magpul mags.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Out of context it sounds like the same thing but in context Ecclesiastes 1:9 has a different meaning than the intent of the Twain quote.

Twain is talking about nothing being new and everything "new" is just something old recycled or reconfigured, not meaningless.

The teacher in Ecclesiastes is elaborating on the idea that everything is meaningless.
I dont see that much difference in the end result, but its not worth arguing over.

Don’t Eat the Meatloaf! Or the Burrito!


Well, that had to suck!

Never liked burritos anyway…

PRS Talk New shooter timing out a lot

I've been to two matches and I have a big issue with time. I just ordered an Area 419 RCX which should hopefully cut down on the amount of bag handling I have to do.

That said, should I be focusing on moving through a stage faster, or should I focus on trying to get as many hits instead of rushing?
Which yields a better score: fire four times and get three hits, or ten times and get zero hits?

I've watched so many newbies spend their practice time trying to shoot little groups or little targets from the bench or prone, doing little positional practice or ignoring it altogether. Then the timer beeps in a match and they implode.

Find a way to emulate whatever props you can, and practice transitioning across them WITH A TIMER running. Even doing that, you will need to gain experience knowing how to set up and run the stage based on "eyeballing" props immediately before. For example, my favorite match venue has a collection of concrete culvert pipes 2-5 feet in diameter that the MD rearranges every so often. One of those pipes will usually be pointed straight downrange; it's a solid modified-prone prop - except the "downrange" end will be several inches lower than the near end, so inexperienced shooters often plop their rig down and find their scope looking into the dirt a fraction of the distance toward the closest target - but if they set the bipod high enough for that position, what about the other pipes where the bipod might be too high? I also remember a match where the course of fire specified the sequence in which a set of targets was to be engaged from stacked tires... shooter could choose which tires to shoot from... and the shooter better realize up front that not all the targets could be seen from all the tires.

Ya just gotta get on the bike and pedal.

Here is an earlier post I made to a new competitor's thread that may be worth your while. I'm in my 7th year of PRS-style competition, with at least three dozen or so matches behind me. Still learning.

Good luck; enjoy the journey.
