    Let's Build a 6mm.... decision, decisions....

    Damn, I had a lot of typos in that. I absolutely get it. I don't have a problem tinkering with stuff. I competed for 2 years with a Savage before a career change, and I made it work. (That was a LOT of fucking around to get to work). I get that most people want it to be plug and play. A...

    Let's Build a 6mm.... decision, decisions....

    There is very little noticeable difference between the common 6mm cartridges. There are some bullets that are easier to keep in tune, but most people are all shooting the same few bullets now in matches. The difference is in the way people run the cartridges. I have not run every 6mm...

    Ultrasonic cleaning does not fully clean primer pocket

    When I went from shooting 200 rounds per year to 2000 rounds per year, I quickly stopped cleaning primer pockets. I have not cleaned a primer pocket in 5 years. Least year I shot just shy of 5000 rounds of prs style shooting and the wife shot the same. Guess who the lucky fucker was that got...

    Bergara or VuDoo

    My Rimx with a Bartlein shoots sk standard plus better than any of the CenterX I have tested. There is zero point in flushing money for worse groups and status. If I like the centerx logo that much and the status that comes with it, I will go get it tattooed on my arm. I don't give a damn...

    Rim X recommendations

    My rimx wears an 18" Bartlein chambered by Curtis Custom Weapons in Clarence, MO. I have only ever run sk standard and sk semi-auto through it. I have run 3 lots of sk standard and they have been from one hole to .3 in. for 5 shots at 50 yards. Back when I bought the ammo it was $500/case so...

    PRS Talk PRS gun Trigger

    With good fundamentals, any trigger can be shot well. I can break shots faster with a light single stage as I can feel the trigger as soon as I marry up and there is no movement at that point. Once you get past that, the follow through is the same with both. Some people try to run single...

    RCBS MATCHMASTER

    I'll pile on here and say, if you have to pay full price, get the autotrickler. If you can get it for much cheaper, it seems to work pretty well. The a and d fx120i is a much better electronic balance than the one that comes with the match master. I have some friends that bought the...

    To mix Lapua brass lots or not

    OCD reloading is for benchrest. Good components, with no sorting will shoot .3 at close range easily. No neck turning either. I have several boxes of Lapua br brass that gets annealed every third firing. I can mix them up with some freshly annealed and some on their second and third firing...

    Thinking out loud, a reticle for the OEM crew

    I feel like a majority of people that jump in here are competition shooters. I used to do really well in matches with a Gen 2 mil dot. Now there are a few small targets on separator stages that can knock you down several places. Equipment to win matches has become very specialized. If you...

    6xc

    Run light loads with 105-109s and you'll have a fast Dasher. I have a Savage action I always wanted to put a 6xc barrel on and run VV N160. I think you could get damn good barrel life. I got lucky and picked up an action off a prize table and another in a raffle. The actions run way better...

    New Reloader with a Question

    https://www.wheeleraccuracy.com/videos https://precisionrifleblog.com/how-to-measure-the-distance-to-the-lands-on-your-rifle-barrel/ These are the only two methods I have found to give roughly .002 accuracy on a consistent basis. Also, watch the video on YouTube by Erik Cortina called...

    PRS Talk Shooting lite rifle in a match

    I'm not discounting your experience, but there is a point where you can see everything and going heavier just limits mobility. It might not be at 17 lbs, but there is a point.

    New Reloader with a Question

    What you are doing headspace wise is perfectly safe. When we talk about bumping shoulders .001 or .002 we are trying to save brass life. When you resize the case the excess brass from resizing can only go up. All other directions are contained by the sizing die. You trim the excess off the...

    PRS Talk Shooting lite rifle in a match

    A lighter stock fixed the rifle balance. Having a rifle balanced in the right spot is the key to reducing wobble on barricades and canceling muzzle flip regardless of the weight of the rifle. I see a lot of people running ass heavy rifles and struggling. If you are not hard into the gun, when...

    PRS Talk Shooting lite rifle in a match

    Even the current setup is under 20 lbs. I have put a 243 barrel on it and shot 115s. The recoil is a lot less than the light gun with a 6 Dasher barrel. I can still move the gun around easily and I see trace better. Also, in windy, or shitty situations it is much easier to get rid of wobble...

    PRS Talk Shooting lite rifle in a match

    It can be done. The effort to manage recoil is more with the lighter rifle. All last year I ran a bravo chassis and a savage varmint contour prefit barrel in 243 shooting 115 DTACS. I did pretty well most of the year. This year I'm running a 6 Dasher with an MTU contour in a Foundation. It...

    New Reloader with a Question

    The point everyone is trying to get at is this: the brass probably sprung back to be slightly shorter than your chamber. This fact makes measuring from a fired case a poor way to find the length of your chamber. If you take the fire control system and ejector out of the bolt you can feel...

    Criterion Remage & 75 Eldm

    I have shot a ton of Hornady and Sierra bullets. I have had shit lots from both companies and lots that shot so small you thought they were custom bullets. I would try a different lot. I have not had a "bad" lot of Bergers, but I have just recently started shooting them in high volumes. I...

    Inconsistent seating depth. What’s my problem?

    My experience loading precision ammo says the same. I wet tumbled with stainless steel and had to lube necks to get consistent seating pressure. Velocities were never as consistent as they are now. I simply use a vibratory tumbler with medium grain sushi rice. I have been able to load many...

    Ryan Hunt @ Hunts long Range

    I have done quite a bit of business with Ryan. Zero issues and all the TL3 prefits I have bought from him have been hammers. I prefer to get him on the phone, but I have never had an issue ordering from his website either. We have also communicated via email a couple times. He always got...
