    Brass Work Hardening Analysis by Alpha Munitions

    In absolute terms, @straightshooter1 's un-annealed versus annealed brass raw percentage difference numbers are pretty striking. At 100 yards, SS's data shows a 47+ percent increase in group size in un-annealed brass (.34 * 1.48 = .503) SD of un-annealed brass increased 76 percent (9.6 * 1.76...

    Use CAUTION after ultrasonic brake cleaning

    Buzzing three brakes in my ultrasonic cleaner for 90 minutes removed most of the carbon, but there was still a bit of it in tightest angles of the ports. I had one of the brakes on my 6BR this past weekend, first time out since cleaning. One of my buddies was standing about six feet to my left...

    Rimx with ModX conversion likes Vudoo mags better than RimX Mags

    Please post back with your results - I'm interested for sure. My feed failures with the extended magazine are frequent enough that I wouldn't even think about running the rifle in a match with "normal" par times. I did use it in a little monthly match series in 2023 which had long par times...

    Rimx with ModX conversion likes Vudoo mags better than RimX Mags

    It's the original bolt face... although my point stands. I suspect that the original spring isn't quite strong enough for the height/weight of the additional cartridges.

    Rimx with ModX conversion likes Vudoo mags better than RimX Mags

    Try taking the extensions off, assuming you have the original floor plates. I only experience feeding problems with my RimX with the Zermatt 5-round extension in place on one magazine, and it can happen anywhere in the cartridge stack. The round pops off the stack in front of the extractor and...

    PRS Talk Binos

    tl;dr: For .22 matches (at least the ones I shoot), if I was starting from scratch, I'd buy a pair of decent 10x42 binos for $300-500 and be done. Light, compact, no tripod needed. ------- For the rimfire PRS-style matches I've shot, my decades-old cheapie Nikon 10x50s are just right. For NRL22...

    Muzzle brake or suppressor for 300 WM?

    I hate to rain on your parade, but I think you're making a huge mistake thinking your rifle is in any way suitable for "general use," "training and fun." Putting a 20" .300 WM hunting rifle into the role you describe is, in my mind, like buying a Ford F350 dualie to learn to drive and cruise the...

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll keep the -400s for .223. Trying them in 6BR seemed like a "thing to try" last night; glad I checked in here first. I've got enough -450s for a couple of years. I've just got even more -400s....

    CCI 400 for 6BR class?

    My supply of -450s is depleting much faster than -400s. Does anyone have good data on 400s in 6BR (or similar) using stick powders in warm weather? I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens, but would welcome input from the community.

    PRS Talk New shooter timing out a lot

    Which yields a better score: fire four times and get three hits, or ten times and get zero hits? I've watched so many newbies spend their practice time trying to shoot little groups or little targets from the bench or prone, doing little positional practice or ignoring it altogether. Then the...

    Strelok Pro

    I don't remember seeing any iMazing option for a free trial, nor did I come across any instructions from Igor. Can you clarify for the community? As for me - I made the jump to Applied Ballistics Quantum a few weeks ago. The level of support via YouTube videos and forum posts helped me...

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    There are a bunch of Youtube videos detailing how various features, including DSF, work. Watch them, because some features probably don't work exactly the way you expect. "Understanding Ballistic Calibration in AB Quantum" gets into DSF, including subsonic/rimfire starting at about 17:45. I...

    PRS Talk carts

    I use an old jogging stroller with unnecessary belts and such cut away. Ammo, kestrel, etc. go into a smallish range bag with side pockets that fits easily in the seat, with room beside and in back of it for other bits like cookie bags, knee pads, etc. Game changer bag rides just right in the...

    Long range 22 LR

    This should have been emphasized earlier: what do you want to do with the rifle? And what ammo are you using in your 452? Full disclosure: my input is based on competition-grade accuracy. I expect a near-100% hit rate on a 1/4" dot at 50 yards or 1.5" circle at 100 with good ammo (ammo is the...

    Long range 22 LR

    tl;dr: Unless there's some additional reason to go with the T1X, aftermarket support for CZ is better. ------ From what I've seen at the range and at matches, CZ rules the factory-rifle space. The only T1x experience I have is through a guy I used to shoot with; he bought one of the early T1Xs...
