Purchased an RPR in 6.5PRC in December last year and worked up a load for it using 147g Hornady. I had it in its first LRP shoot the other week. Pretty happy with how it shot at 600yrds.

One spanner on the nut ,one on the Brake, loosen them from each other then just screw them off and put on the new Brake. I used an o-ring against the shoulder of the barrel to snub the brake up to. Easy to locate top dead center for the brake and never had a problem with it moving. Just tighten...

Re: 155g to 1200yards Ya I hear ya lol. Nope after the results from this little experiment, I wouldn't use them in a match unless the conditions were ideal as the do become a bit hard to control at the longer ranges on windy days. I think when this barrel wears out and comes up for...

Re: 155g to 1200yards [/url]Image Editing Made Easy[/img] Well here it is the plot sheet from the the 155g test.Unfortunately I didn't get time to test it from 1200,only 1100yrds will try it from 12 next weekend. Although the wind played havoc with the light projectiles and sprayed them a...

Re: 155g to 1200yards Here in Aust we have 4 main types of large rifle comps. T/R, Plain target rifle. Generally shot from 300 to 900yrds. Restricted to .308 155g and the .223 projectile and I think they have to use either 80 or 85g pills. the powder is also restricted to a few types...

Re: 155g to 1200yards Hi Emouse Our law makers here in Aust. must have taken a leaf from your book as that rule sounds very similar to our gun ownership laws. The rifle I'm working the load up for which is my F-class rifle, I wish to use as a spare for our Match rifle comp here in Aust. The...

Re: 155g to 1200yards Thanks Greg, Running a 30" barrel with 1:13 twist. So sounds like it will do the job. Have made loads up as far as 48g using varget and the pressure signs were minimal when I fired them off.So sounds like I will be able to back them off a bit which will do just fine...

Re: 155g to 1200yards Shooter21, Try an 8" plate with a 223 and 3 directional wind at 3-11 kts from 1k Something else to have a crack at when I get good enough to have constant hits at longer ranges Tom, 155's will perform flawlessly at 2900+ fps, Am I better off to keep the velocity...

Re: 155g to 1200yards <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tom Sarver</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Shooter21, I have a theory on this. But I will not hi-jack the man's thread. All in all the 155's will shoot looooonng range with accuracy if pushed a...

Re: 155g to 1200yards Thanks guys for all the responses, The projectiles I'm using are Dyer HBC's with a BC of .462 and they were fired from a 30" Tobler barrel. I made some up with Winchester cases @ 48g of Varget/ADI 2208. The projectile had 0.150" contact between the bearing surface and...

Hiyas, I was going to try and make a load to shoot my .308win 155gHBC projectiles out to 1200 yards accurately. Can anyone tell me what velocity I would be aiming for to keep them accurate to that distance. Cheers

Re: 1000 yard hits I think I get it, from this discussion what I have come to understand is that if I hit the same spot more than twice in a row it basically comes down to more arse than class. If I manage to get a group at long range that seems to reduce in size then I'm reaching the maximum...

Re: Hiyas this is my obsession Hiya sorry didn't get back straight away. I've been away for a bit shooting. Its not so much holding my breath, more prolonging the pause at the bottom end of my natural breathing cycle.the pause would last for about 3 to 5 seconds if I haven't got the shot off...

Re: DIY Snapcaps Ahhhhh I hadn't thought of that cheers. wouldn't be far off the same size anyway and easily replaceable. the only reason I hadn't gone to silicon in the first place was I wasn't sure if it would stand up to the constant pounding of a firing pin.... Will give both a go and...
