I picked up a couple of them from B&H camera a couple of years ago. Super handy and do a great job especially on hunting trips when you are a mile or more back to the truck.

Somebody here has to has a PRS Gen 1 stock they would like to sell. I need one for my Ruger PRS so it will match my other 3 EBR rifles.

Use an AC type Magpul magazine, allows single loading through the port, won't hold the bolt open and presents the cartridge exactly as if it was loading from the magazine. Why not use only one device that will load cartridges or act as a port loading "BOB SLED"? K.I.S.S. is a good thing...

6.5 Grendel was designed to run in an AR (5.56) The cartridge base is NOT the same, the bolt will not work. The 6.5 Creedmoor is the same parent case as the .308, so yes, it will work in either.

The velocity you get from your gun is just that. YOUR GUN. Just a few things that can change the velocity are barometric pressure, temperature friction coefficient of the barrel, length of the barrel, twist rate, temperature of the barrel after firing a few shots, etc...... I would be greatly...

I used an electric paint peeler heater (looks like a hair dryer but gets really hot), Quickly heat the brake but not the barrel, the metal will expand slightly. With a punch inserted through the brake and an end wrench on the nut, apply some torque and counter torque to it. Add a few taps with...

I can see why. There have been rare weather events where I wanted to check loads under extreme temperatures with a cold bore. I hunt, sometimes at longer distance on small game, and that can be critical on first shots. At the range, after the first shot, I have to wait for true cold bore...

Unique idea. I was told by a friend that MAGNETOSPEED had one available as well, but was very pricey for something that gets used so little. I just load an extra 5 rounds of each load I am testing, shoot those sets, record the data. Then I go back through and shoot the other 15 of each...

I had to share that one with the guys over on the black powder forum. The last of the muskets were made some 150 years ago. Not counting the replicas for the folks that like antiques. Modern black powder fueled RIFLES have barrels with match grade rifling that will match or exceed most off the...

Good enough for me. Just curious though, why do you come to this forum if not to gain knowledge and insight about your hobby? Changes to any rifle can and probably will effect it's performance, maybe a little, maybe a lot, maybe good, maybe bad. That's something I would want to know about and...

Was tooling around the PRS sites earlier today, found this: Scan down the page and find the most popular barrels and lengths used by the top PRS shooters. No 20" in the pack. Group is split into 8 cartridges, all but one the most popular barrel is 26", with 24" in the one cartridge that was not...

Heavy hitter for sure... I have not tried the 190's in my LONG .308 barrel. But the logic is all there. Heavy holds it's energy longer. I'll order a batch on the next restock and bench them to see what they are doing. The 175 SMK runs very nicely in a 26" barrel. (But we should not talk...

LOL, don't get all wadded up cause you have a short barrel. What I state is my personal experience with my personal firearms. It's not personal. As to 26"+, I only have one rifle with a barrel that exceeds 26", and it is a 34" barrel 36 caliber that you pour black powder down the barrel and...

Simple physics, longer barrels have higher muzzle velocities. Higher velocities have flatter trajectories. Flatter trajectories will yield better accuracy over longer distances. I have riles in 308 in 20", 24" and 26", the 20" needs 10.7 mils at 1,000 yards, the 26" runs 9.8 mils with the...

The weight of the rifle is one of the factors that help make it accurate. Larger mass means less recoil. Heavy is not a bad thing. Shorter barrel has a high chance of not being as accurate as well. Maybe you need to consider a set of barbells to use when you are not out shooting??? :giggle:
