New 300 PRC

A few months back I got the wild hair to order a new Masterpiece Arms 300 PRC. I know there were some mixed reviews on here, but I went ahead and did it. It finally came in last week, so I went out this morning to try a few loads. So far I am very pleased with the rifle. It seems to be well built and the chassis is perfectly fine for me.

The following loads all seemed to be pretty mild based on what others had posted. I just arbitrarily selected -.030” off for a starting point. I think the Berger 215’s will shoot much better once I have time to work with them. I might go back out tomorrow to do some more work and stretch it out. All in all happy that nothing shot over 3/4”. I think it’s going to be a shooter.

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.

Was mounted on a rifle that only had 50 rounds ran through it. The camo paint can easily be removed with citristrip without harming the original paint underneath.

Small engine carb cleaning question

I think I used some old gas that had a bit of water in it in my lawn mower. I've drained the remaining gas from the gas tank and removed the carb, drained and removed the bowl. I then cleaned it up with a rag and some compressed air. I'd prefer to not further disassemble the carb, but do want to make sure it's clean.

What would be the best bet from here to clean it out and make sure there's no bad gas or water left in it, aside from pull the float and jet?

Also...any suggestions of cleaning the tank? I thought I could perhaps flush it with rubbing alcohol, but not sure how much to use or how long it'd take to dry after draining (10 minutes?).

Engine is a Kohler XT650 fwiw.

Rifle Weight and Fundamentals

So I've been a cheating lil bitch and shooting 6GT braked and suppressed in a 25 lb race gun.

Today I took my backup rifle in 6.5 Creed--basically a Howa + KRG Bravo--super light more of a hunting rifle and I REALLY had to grip that SOB to get it to shoot well. I know some PRS and F-Class guys do free recoil, and I can see that with these light cartridges. 6.5 Creed is hardly a magnum but I saw a HUGE difference today . So how is free recoil working on this "big" cartridges like a 6.5 PRC and 284 Win. It seems so counter intuitive to what I just experienced. Is it really the rifle weight having that much of an impact?

Otherwise, got some fundamentals practice in and a new load. (Good practice for stepping up to magnums--can't hide from recoil)..took me a bit and I forgot how loud an unsupressed rifle is.

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😃
