Let's talk about youth packages and training

So as I'm building my precision build I'm also looking at getting my kids into it.

What are people putting together for their kids? I've kinda been just waiting for a good sale at sheels/cabela's and was going to go find a savage or Ruger 22 but I'm also seeing stuff from keystone? and start there. But if anyone knows of other packages/ starting points that wont break the bank ( I'm thinking sub $500) i would love to hear it.
Also what's out there for youth precision clubs / organizations? When I Google it I keep coming up with either trap / skeet or air rifle so I'm not having much luck finding much organized stuff, if it's not there that's fine I was just curious if I'm missing something.

SOLD PRICE DROP LMT Enhanced Bolt Carrier

FS/FT are the following parts available from an upper I parted out:

Just painted it with krylon flat black, so it'll come off easy if you don't like that. Comes with a tightly fitting Geissele Super Gas Block and gas tube. Was previously pinned and welded but removed cleanly with zero damage to threads. Asking $SOLD shipped.



- LMT Enhanced Bolt Carrier (bolt and small parts are sold). Has about 50ish rounds on it. $SOLD hipped

Of all the parameters that must be met when reloading, what do you think is most important?

When we reload, we have to ensure that we meet several parameters. We have to make sure the charge weight is correct. We have to ensure we're using the correct primer and powder. We have to ensure that the OAL or, in my case the BTO (base to ogive) is precise. We have to make sure the jump is just right. There are probably more I haven't thought of - but of all the different variables that go into a good load, which one do you think is most impactful to a good load.

thanks in advan e.

Hide Aviation

A fair amount of fellas here involved in aviation. Post up pics of equipment, experiences (there I was upside down in a thunderstorm 😊), you’re daily lives burnin’ 100LL or Jet A, etc... Whether you do it to pay the bills, just for fun, or just interested. We all file a flight plan through a ballistic calc or Fltplan, it’s the same, but different. Post away.

Firearms Sako TRG-22 308win updated with extras ($2300)

Don't want to, but need to free up some funds for another project.

Selling a Sako TRG-22 in 308win with a 26" barrel. I bought it used, original owner said they shot it around 200rds. I put 15rds through it. Shoots great and with the muzzle brake it's very soft recoil. Will come with a Cadex MX1 muzzle brake. It is the phosphate version and should have a ton of life left. I took it out today and tried a group at 110yds with what I had left of a partial box of FGMM 168gr.

Asking SOLD

Different Brass (Accuracy Effect)

For PRS style matches, how much does different headstamps of brass effect accuracy. I'l thinking of running a semi-auto and they tend to shred brass or at least beat i t up fairly regularly (I might run an M1-A--which itself is an inaccurate rifle compared to a bolt or AR platform). I was thinking of just buying some bulk brass, loading and go. Because its PRS, 1 MOA accuracy is fine--its hit or miss and I ain't winning anytime soon. What is the effect of having different brass on your accuracy? Anyone have quantifiable results or studies?

6.8x51277fury

other than the sig cross and their speer firearms rated for/up to 80k, has anyone reloaded for tis cartridge in a firearm up to 65k yet? just bought some hybrid cases, dies and some 27cal projectiles for an upcoming ar barrel (plans on not going over the 65k mark). been using ql to runs numbers although i don't have all of the needed info to get safe results (case capacity, exact projectile(s) being used and known velocity). i haven't checked if xxlreloading or loaddata yet for possible numbers.

Firearms Accurate Ordnance 6XC

Asking 2500
Accurate Ordnance custom built rifle bolt action. The receiver is a trued Remington 700 short action RH chambered in 6XC. The build sheet below is correct for all of the parts and components listed. I had this rifle built for PRS and never used it. The Manners T4A accepts AI mags and I also added a 4” arca rail. The round count is no more than 400. It has a badger bolt knob. It just sat in the safe for a long time. The sale is for the rifle alone it will NOT come with the NF scope bipod or the muzzle break I have a thread protector. I can split up the barreled action and stock.
