    I blew up my rifle!

    What's the twist rate of the barrel? Also, I know you mentioned it was the first shot, but were you shooting Berry's before this round? I ask these questions because, Berry's has a max twist rate rating of 1:7 and a velocity below X. These rounds will start coming apart with a faster twist...

    Lowest recoil viable PRS caliber

    I present the 95g SMK. ;) And if you want to stay in TAC, use the 75ELD.

    Most accurate Vihtavouri powder for heavies in 223 Rem?

    I can confirm. I used both for F-Class and PRS when I shot 80s and 90s. I got a bunch for a steal when my local range changed management and decided to no longer sell components. If I remember right they were selling the VV powders as low as $5/pound by the end. I bought 30-40 pounds of it...

    Member Link Up shooting at manatee gun range, Florida

    I would expect some sort of "qualification" with every rifle, optic, caliber combination you intend to shoot 600/1000 given the old requirement to do so when they changed layouts years ago. I haven't been since they shut PRS and F-class down, so my knowledge may be dated.

    Where is Lapua .223???

    I've used sorted LC and WCC interchangeably with Lapua for PRS and F-Class at times. No appreciable difference between them for my purposes.

    Case volume vs case weight

    I did this testing when I shot F-Class. After far too much time and effort I came to the conclusion that I can't shoot the difference caused by any volume variation at 600 yards. Try it yourself and see. Pick X number of cases with the smallest case volume, then X with the highest case...

    85 grain 223 in a bolt fun?

    I first tried 95g SMKs in my F-Class 1:7 Shilen throated for 90g SMKs. Worked pretty good. Groups averaged under .5". typically .3". Velocity was pretty low as I worked up slowly. After a while I made a dedicated Bart PRS barrel. 28" 1:6.5 throated a mile long to accommodate the 95s. If I...

    Suppressed 300 blk destabilizing bullets

    I was going to ask this myself. I have a Rattler (1:5) and never had any issues until I used Berry's (plated). I didn't realize until after buying them that they have a disclaimer of not using them in anything faster than 1:7. Worked ok-ish without the can in place, but that defeats the...

    PRI Mk 12 Mod 0 or Mod H

    I did. Base was a self etching primer from auto zone. It came in OD green and rust brown. Then just krylon or whatever for tops coats.
