6.5 PRC in a shortie?

Look, build the man his rifle. It doesn't matter at all to me. I asked two questions, and your response pissed me off. It's that simple. Does that make me immature? Perhaps, but I don't care... Then your further responses were fairly illogical. Just a pet peeve of mine, like fingernails on a chalkboard. I do have experience with what you're proposing. That's why I have an opinion. Will it shoot and kill stuff? Sure. At 200 yards, it's just like buying a diesel Ford F450 as your daily commuter... Different strokes... Good luck, I'm sure it will be a hammer.
Again, the asshole.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

I don't use red dot sights on my "life or death" handguns. I do seem to shoot a bit better with them, but I've also found that it's one more thing to deal with if you have to quickly pull that gun in an emergency and quickly acquire a target. Yeah, you can make sure the battery is good and the button is pushed everytime you walk out the door. But, if you are like me, you might not even touch that gun for a month, and you don't have time to worry about whether or not the sight will function. But, when you draw it, you want to be able to quickly acquire a target and deal with a threat without having to push a button or move the gun a certain way to activate a sight. Not to mention, it's one more thing that can get hung up on clothing, or the inside of a computer bag.

What is the general consensus on using red dots on "life or death" handguns?
Dont turn the dots off, ever.

Austin Tx

Have been in Georgetown, TX for 21 years now. Absolutely stay away from Austin. When family comes to visit and say they want to go to Austin, I offer them a weapon to take with them but refuse to go into that shithole. Love Georgetown but even it is getting too big for my taste. Real estate prices here are insane, so be prepared.

Accuracy International Picture Thread

Looks like fun.
Most .308's can be very accurate, it's worth the time and trouble to work up a good load. Ask what the local winning Palma/Fullbore shooters are using and see if the helps.
What size are the 9, 10 & X rings?
Spoke to the guys I was shooting with, and they were using a variety of different bullets: 208 ELDs, 200.20x Bergers, 155SMKs, 155.5gr Bergers.

I didn't want to go down the reloading rabbit hole with 308, was just planning to shoot factory ammo for practice and develop a load for shooting animals out to 400ish meters (hence 16" barrel), which this load should be good enough for.

If I do decide develop the load further I'll get some better dies and brass, and probably try some 155 ELD-Ms.
168 ELD-Ms at 2500fps, in the 1:12 twist are probably at the edge of stability.

The 168SMK ammo at 2430fps looks like it's very near transonic even at 600 yards. Maybe I'll get a proper length 308 barrel at some stage.

Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

My pistols without red dots don’t ever get shot. My carry, bedside and whatever other pistols all have dots on them. I’m not sure I will ever want to shoot a non-dot pistol again. I’m doing research to find where to send my MK23 slide to be milled so I will enjoy shooting that again.
