Is a 1 in 7 twist too fast for a 7mm prc

1 in 7 for a 7mm prc?

Thinking about spinning up a 7mm prc barrel for long range target shooting in the 22-26 inch range. Will at least start by using factory ammo in the 170-180 grain range. PVA is out of 1 in 8 barrels currently and I am wondering is a 1 in 7 would be too fast. According to the berger calculator it is good to go, but some other calculators say it will be over-stabalized. Of course, I don't think Bryan Litz believes in over-stabalization, so who am I to question it?

That said, what do you all think?

Awesome presentation. As customary for events like this, every screen on the shop floor and warehouse area here are turned to this and everybody brought food and drinks. Being the early afternoon driver today taking an empty from a morning delivery back, that means another pizza run! Twice this year plus one for donuts. I do not remember any festive moods at all during the Biden "presidency". TODAY IS PART OF WHAT WE VOTED FOR IN 2024. And seeing the great election upheavals recently across Europe, we are inspiring others to also do the same and place their countries and cultures first in their spheres.

Best corrosion protection for small steel parts?

So, this week I believe I made my final change to my primary rifle, a 20" Grendel, and historically once a gun is "perfect" I get the stencils out and paint it. Half the reason I do this is corrosion protection, and the other half is cosmetic, because YOLO and all that.

So, last night as I gathered the stencils and masking tape and began degreasing, I remembered that in my half frugal, somewhat "poors" situation of using Noveske B line parts, I had a black cerakoted handguard that would likely not accept the paint and end up looking like shit. I like this rifle black as it has some carbon furniture and I wasn't mad at it, but

I live in southern Louisiana and hunt in southern Texas near the gulf. Everything rusts in real time.

So, regarding the small parts - screw heads, and possibly to some degree safety/bolt release/mag catch/buffer plate - any brilliant suggestions other than Cerakote?

Was considering cleaning them and then applying some enamel based but figured I'd check in with the brain trust. I don't anticipate taking much apart on this one in the future but would prefer to change tolerances as little as possible.

Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

I'm mainly a milsurp guy but have put together a couple of new/commercial bolt action rifles, supressed, and thinking about going further.

My RPR in .308 is astonishing (to me) for the money. Just landed a 1" group @ 300yds wi 175gr FGMM.

An RAR in x39 in a nice Boyd's stock has delivered 1.5" @ 100yds wi 1970s Romy milsurp.

Have a sh_t ton of various 55gr backed up and three nice ARs in .223 but am bored with em.

Sooo, thinkin about a bolt action in .233. All cursory web scanning a steers my towards another RAR. It really appeals to me to use standard 10-20rd mags that I already have .

Thoughts, ideas?

No kings confusion

With the supposed planned protests today, what about the whole “we wuz kingz” contingent? Did no one think of those poor oppressed scholars? And what will be the mental gymnastics look like to differentiate them so the liberals can keep them happy?

I’m just so confused and concerned for their feelings.

Anyways, heading to DeadZero, y’all stay sharp.

Thinking about another new can.

I decided to go with the B&T SRBS for my girls 6.5 Grendel based on recommendations here in my last thread. I have a Hybrid 46M for my MRAD and another old baffle type can for my SBR 300blk. I have a HUXWRX Flow 762 that floats around my semi autos. These include a 14.5 556 piston AR, 2 x 6.5 Grendel’s DI, and a SCAR 17 SBR with DiSCARder. I would like to leave the Flow 762 on the Scar and pick up another 762 suppressor. All of the semi autos use HUXWRX devices currently. I’d rather try something other than another Flow 762, and I’ve heard the Ventum does not suppress as well. I see a lot of praise for CAT OBD suppressors, but their stance as a company leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I need something that is at least “high flow”. All of the rifles have adjustable gas and the AR has the SD charging handle. I really like the Velios LBP 762. It’s $1099 plus stamp. Unfortunately the HUB adapter for HUXWRX is like $205 when you can find them. That will be an extra cost for anything but a HUXWRX though. I’m looking for suppression no worse than the Flow 762, but I would like to try something different. The shortest barrel is 13.9”.
Thank you

Rifle Competition Events Cleaning for Competitions

Everyone and their mother has a different cleaning regime. Different products, different process and different definitions of what cleaning is.

For many years my cleaning process for precision rifles has been follow boretech instructions. Maybe do a cycle or 2. Gun shoots well again and is good for 100-300 rounds before next cleaning.

Then I got a borescope. And I realized how much hard carbon builds up in the grooves , especially in the first 10 inches of a barrel. I suspect I am not really cleaning the barrel fully each time and just adding layers of hard carbon and copper. When I clean I am stripping most of the copper and leaving in carbon? Maybe.

Now what really matters is how it shoots. Is the gun predictable? Does it hold zero , velocity and shot group size over a 250 round weekend?

I am not so much interested in your cleaning regime as in your philosophy on cleaning. I am positive with the right chemicals I can strip this shit out, but do I really need to?

And it goes without saying the accuracy demands, round count and requirements for something like a PRS shooter is much different than F class or Benchrest.

Do most of you feel like getting all the loose shit out of the bore is cleaning? Do you think you need to strip it down to steel to be clean? What have you experienced performance wise doing different methods?

I recently went back to Sweets 7.62 since its a much more effective solvent than Eliminator or C4, as well as using oversized brass brushes (6.5 for 6mm). It seems to pull more shit out but the brushes also wear out super fast. I might get 4-5 cycles of wet patch/scrub with brush before the brush is wore out and i feel little resistance in bore.

Any coin collectors?

So, I have some stuff my grandfather left me, as far as coins go. I’d like to price some of them out. Some have receipts of how much was paid for them. Some are PCGS WTC coins, various silver and gold and so on. Where does one price this stuff at? I’ve seen sole wild numbers of stuff on eBay and other places etc. but would like a legit place to find out what I should charge for some of this stuff if I decided to sell them. Yes, there are coin shops but how does one know that what they are telling them is legit?

Seekins SP10 vs SP10M

I realize this has been covered in the past but it’s been a few years.

Regular SP10s now come with (via Seekins)
-updated heavy barrel .875 (same as M)
-updated +1.5 gas
-Magpul PRS stock.

I’ve had a regular SP10 in 6.5cm on order, through Eurooptics for 3 months now. Looks like they added the ability to “Reserve” a few of the M models.

Given the price difference, roughly $1,400, is the extra QC and attention to each rifle worth the squeeze? Or is the regular SP10 the way to go, with the new upgrades, for us folk that might change a trigger, stock, etc in the future? ….and buy more ammo😃

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

Long post if you care to read

Summary = This thing is freaking rocks 🤙

I had the privilege of testing the new March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS edition over the weekend, and I wanted to share my experience with you. Upon arrival at TX Precision for a train-up day, I was immediately handed the March PRS Gen II for evaluation. My initial impressions were overwhelmingly positive.

I decided I would mount this scope in a spare mount I had with me. After ensuring my zero with my existing optic was accurate, I encountered significant mirage issues due to the conditions of the day. This is where the March PRS Gen 2 truly stood out. Upon comparing it side by side with my current setup, the difference was night and day. The March scope cut through the mirage effortlessly, even at full power, which was a game-changer for me. In a move I would normally consider too risky, especially before a match, I decided to switch my perfectly zeroed optic for the March.

Remarkably, it only took two shots to re-zero. The real test came when I aimed at a target approximately 775 yards away. Despite the challenging conditions and my initial apprehension, the clarity and performance of the March PRS Gen 2 were undeniable. NO WAY would I have been able to see exactly where I was hitting with my previous optic in that mirage without freshly painted targets. The March made this as if you were shooting in perfect conditions on a partially cloudy day. To say I am impressed is an understatement.

In summary, the March PRS Gen 2 exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Its ability to perform under challenging conditions has made a significant impression on me. The field of view and real usable magnification range is second to none. It's everything you want in a scope and nothing you don't need. From the reticle (FML-WBR) to the markable turrets (no more stickers that dont line up), this thing is a home run! I watched more bullets hit targets than ever before, especially given the conditions we were faced with over the weekend.

If you don't know who March is... You will! I expect this scope will take over a huge portion of the PRS market. You don't have to take my word for it. Next stop is the OKIE SHOWDOWN. Find me and get behind it... Seeing is believing!!!

This is going to be a game changer for you rimfire guys too… The clarity of this scope is unmatched!
