    Suppressors Opinions on Rugged Alaskan 360

    I am running the Alaskan 360-ti on the end of my 6 creed. The tone is quiet low and pleasant. I shoot it without earpro. Low round counts) and don’t notice the weight at all on the end of the rifle. I use direct thread, hasn’t changed the accuracy (.5ish) good fit and finish

    I’ve found a bunch of the matches out west a double pull is super useful on many stages. That said if you already have a triple, bringing that and using a single most of the day would probably work.

    Rifle Competition Events Cleaning for Competitions

    No I exclusively run a brake now for competitions and training. Back 6-7 years ago when I ran one I don’t remember it being much different (I still didn’t clean) but I wasn’t as data focused so it’s more just anecdotal.

    Rifle Competition Events Cleaning for Competitions

    I am one of those guys that never cleans. The only time the bore sees a patch is if the gun has been out in the rain or snow. I have seen no perceptible change in group size or speed, over a weekend or over the life of the barrel, i see bigger changes switching lots of powders than from shot...

    Questions on 25GT

    I went from 6.5 creed to 25 creed to 25 GT. In the same rifle I went from spotting barricade impacts/misses at 400 with the 6.5 to 350ish with the 25CM TO 200ish with the 25GT. I improved my recoil management but there is definitely a lot less recoil in 25 GT than the 6.5 creed. (I was running...

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    A lot of good advice here. The biggest thing I tell new shooters is not to pick a .308. If your looking at PRS style competition in the future, it is all about spotting you shot. You can do it with a .308 but you will learn slowly, and you will be frustrated. Most shooters that quit after 1 or 2...
