Hey all,

I decided to hit the range with my reloads and see if I was good enough at both shooting and loading haha.

I took my 18" grendel, 20" grendel, 6.5CM, and 223. Although for the 223 I just shot factory ammo so I can get once fired brass.

Somewhere along the day, my garmin ran outta battery so I decided not to shoot my loads for the 18" grendel. I got to shoot and chrono all CM loads and most 20" grendel loads.

On the CM my first group of 5, which is the lowest charge weight, I had my turret still dialed for 700 yards from the match I shot yesterday. Damn it! So the shots didn't print on paper, but I did get the chrono reading. I shot a different charge weight in its place as there was grass covering the dot I was supposed to shoot though, so pardon the confusion.

The 223 shot amazingly well and I think is becoming my favorite riflrle. I had shot a 10 round group that looked alright. So I said "fuck it" and did a 20 round group right after. Both the barrel and can were HOT! Still managed to get a 10 shot group under an inch and a 20 shot group at just over an inch. With FACTORY mass produced ammo.

Here are some pics





I had a custom Taylor made target stand.

None of my reloads had any sign of pressure. The factory grendel ammo I shot was a different story. Sticky bolt lifts and some primer flattening.

The S&B modified ammo is sellier & ballot with 124s that I pulled and averaged out the charge weight to evenly distribute it across the rounds and seat the bullet 20 thou off the lands. The factory stuff jams.

The 18" grendel I have never been able to get it to shoot. Hopefully once I shoot the reloads it proves me wrong.

The 20" grendel had decent numbers but poor-ish group sizes.

Overall, had a kickass day! If anyone cares to give any feedback, I'll take it. If not, it's ok, enjoy these few pics.

Yes, I shot under a PINK tent!

Well, I have some Titanium brakes and Ti mounts on the way, so I go to remove one of my steel- YHM- phantom mounts from my Nomad Ti, and that thing will not budge. It has nothing accept possibly some copper antisieze on it (though given the situation that's doubtful).

I tried heat, I tried putting it in the freezer. I don't want to mess my can up but I'd really like to get this thing off. Sending it back to Dead Air is a no go for obvious reasons.

I guess I need to invest in a good strap wrench? My last one broke and I haven't replaced it so, if that's in your suggestion, what's a good one for this purpose?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am considering purchasing a .308 caliber French PGM Precision Ultima Ratio rifle and am wondering if it is worth the price tag. I know it was chosen by the French elite police RAID unit and supposedly outperformed Accuracy International rifles in cold-bore accuracy.

What caught my attention was that I was quoted $11,077 for the rifle kit, which includes an additional custom 70 cm 6.5 CM barrel for $1,500. So, I guess the rifle kit itself costs $9,577. According to the dealer, the kit includes the rifle, a custom Pelican transport case, a 20 MOA action pic rail, 2 magazines, a maintenance kit, a bore guide, a user manual, and international shipping and import fees. However, the dealer would not give out itemized pricing for each item, so I am not sure how much each one costs. Is this really worth it for a SA precision rifle?

I currently own an Accuracy International AT rifle with .308 and 6.5 CM, which I am extremely satisfied with in terms of accuracy and consistency, but the surface/importer practices leave something to be desired. I have a weak spot for niche French rifles (I know, I have a problem that only waving a white flag in my face could solve).

For context, the PGM Ultima Ratio has been discussed in several other amazing threads:


Thanks a bunch

What do I need to do to post in the post exchange?

I have a used S&B PMII 3-12x50 up for sale. The scope is in solid condition and comes with all factory accessories included in the box. Not looking for trades at this time. $2400 plus shipping with rings. 2250 with no rings. Venmo or PP F&F

I picked this up last year from a forum member and have shot one box of bullets through it in preparation for deer season last year. It is a fantastic shooting rifle, but definitely overkill for me. I rarely shoot my rifles since I almost always take the bow out. I’d like to trade for another 6.5 PRC or similar rifle of lesser value. I’m thinking Bergara, Tikka, Seekins. Does not include scope. Feel free to send me offers. Cash price is $2200.

My first post covered what you need to know so now I'm going to add some things you may want to know.

The classes:

I realize this is old hat for many readers but perhaps there are some that do not know about IR 50/50 classes.

The IR 50/50 Sporter is the most evolved RFBR rifle we shoot today. Many believe it rivals the accuracy of our much heavier rifles including the unlimited rifles.

The sporter cannot weigh more than 7.5 lbs. including the scope. The scope cannot be more than 6.5 power. It has to have a wooden stock, and the forearm cannot be flat, or more than 2 1/4 inches wide. It must be shot off sandbags front and rear. It has to have a clip that will hold at least three rounds. It cannot have a separate tuner or muzzle device.

Even with all of these restrictions you will be amazed by how well some guys can shoot these sporters.

The 10.5 lb. rifle is only restricted in weight but also must be shot off sandbags front and rear. No scope power restrictions.

The 13.5 lb. rifle cannot weigh more than 13.5 lbs. and must also be shot off sandbags front and rear.

Most guys use their 10.5 lb. rifle for the 10.5 lb. class and the 13.5 lb. class. It has been debated for years if doing that puts you at a disadvantage.

If the rifles you own don't meet these restrictions don't worry.

The unlimited class is just that unlimited. Basically, if you can drag it to the bench, you can shoot it.

The factory class: Is not covered in the current rulebook but
I received this from a Match Director friend, so I think it is accurate.

Factory: Rifle must be of a factory produced action with a matched factory stamped barrel, and a factory stock. No custom manufactured actions, barrels or stocks. No Vudoo or any other custom barreled rifles. Two-piece rest setup required. Rear Rest must be full rear sandbag. Rear bag needs to be 3X3" minimum and filled with sand or heavy sand. No thin sandbags attached to a hard material. No mechanical rear rest, sandbags only. Front rest may not be attached to the bench. No tuners. The barrel must be made out of one piece of metal with no attachments except for the action. , a nut to secure the barrel to the action, and the factory thread protector for threaded barrels. Factory sights are allowed and do not have to be removed. Use of electronic or remotely actuated triggers is prohibited.

Did I just hear that right? That Kamala talked about "Strength through Joy?"

Either she is brain dead (my bet) or they are literally invoking their true colors as Nazi Fascists.

Doesn't anyone know what the "Strength Through Joy" organization was? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

The NSDAP? Which took over every organization in Germany in the early 1930's? And actually made a rather nice people's car favored by Hippies... but also turned about 10 million people into air pollution.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. These people are telling you what their plans are... just as clearly as the screwball Austrian Corporal failed-painter did in his "My Struggle" bullshit book. He told the world what he was going to do. The world ignored him.

Kamala literally just adopted the slogan of the Nazi Party. I tend to think it's because she is too busy sucking cock to open a history book. But then again... crazy like a fox. Millions of 'voters' so brain dead (or literally dead) that they will still vote for her. Maybe they are so confident that they are just saying "Screw all of you.... we're going to throw this crap in your face and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Wow.. back when I was getting my history masters... they talked about how historians end up as sort of Cassandras. I am now getting the picture!

Cheers,

Sirhr
