    Burris xtriii for hunting

    I have an xtr iii made in Greely and the xtr pro. Both are 5.5-30x. My wife was backpacking with 15# gun and had the strap come loose. The gun with the xtriii fell on its side while she was standing. Took it home and shot a 1/2 moa group on 6" steel at 450 yards. I was worried, but nothing...

    Nosler .243 Brass

    Not sure what load he's shooting, but 600 cases would be between 2 and 5 firings on the brass running the 2 extremes for barrel life. I have shot a lot of 243 Ackley in prs. I ran the same 400 WW cases for 3 barrels. All barrels went to 2500 rounds with H1000 before I pulled them. Some of...

    .243 ai

    No 108 eldms, but 3150 is achievable with H1000 or N165 and barrel life is decent as well if you keep up with the carbon fouling. 3050 is easy with dtacs and same powder. These are mild loads. Have shot in torrential downpours with both loads with no sticky bolt or pressure signs. I have...

    Type of competitions to get young kids started

    I will add that my daughter's have been shooting in local 22 prs style "outlaw" matches since they were 8 and 4. There is a strong push to get kids involved. There is a kids division and it is left up to the parents how much they help as long as everything is safe. When we started I would...

    Help me decide budget long range scope

    Xtr3 is damn solid scope for the money. I have an xtr 2 4-20. Burris fixed the glass to be pretty decent for price. Also have a greeley built xtr3 which was worth the $1700 I paid. They are a steal now. I also have an xtr pro that is very good for what you can find them for.

    Razor Gen3?

    I used an AMG for 4 seasons and around 13k rounds on a switch barrel gun and the markings were dead nuts on. I never had a problem. I have a gen 3 sitting here that I have not mounted yet. I'm assuming all is well with it too. ETA: I also tighten after each adjustment.

    Improving My Reloading Process - Biggest Impact on SD

    No difference in really in full length die. I just use the expander button in the full length die. It is one less stroke of the press handle. I do not dry lube the necks. I do not wet tumble. I tried it and hated it. I run my "dirty" brass through everything and only tumble in medium grain...

    Improving My Reloading Process - Biggest Impact on SD

    I used to love reloading when I shot only a few hundred rounds a year. Now I shoot a lot of local and regional prs style matches. I did not want to suck and realized quickly that you have to shoot and dryfire a shitload to be at the top of the standings. Reloading became a means to an end...

    Cleaning primer pockets, worth the trouble?

    It makes no difference unless the difference between 1/4 moa and 0 moa matters to you. At that point I cannot comment because I ha e never tried to shoot smaller than 1/4 moa. For PRS it a non issue. If you feel better cleaning, go for it. Short on time, skip it.

    .243 Win. Rifle Twist.

    You're going to need to custom barrel a 243 or like everyone else said, go 6 Creed. When I got into PRS a few years ago I put a Criterion 243 Ackley barrel on a savage. It worked alright and I still have a 28" bartlein for my TL3 chambered to shoot 243 Ackley. The longer I have shot, I have...

    jb bore paste

    I have used thoro clean and jb. Thoro clean is easier to clean up when finished scrubbing. I have not used the cameleon gel but have heard good things.

    Finding a wife

    Your Mom isn't the only person parroting that. Just about everyone in a happy marriage says the same thing. Become the kind of person you want to marry then get out of the house and find her.

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I'm going to put this here in case someone later is confused. Frank was very polite in how he addressed this above. Kudos to him. I have no business ties to this industry, so while I am not trying to be an ass, I am going to lay out my and others experience to clear up what think I read. I'm...

    2022 Tripod Help

    My 2 cents. Worth what you paid. I have several innorels and a dlow55. The rtc90 is rock solid. It is also a fucking tank to haul around. I use it at matches where weight isn't a concern. I have 2 other innorels. 1 is a lot lighter than the 90 but still not as light as RRS. It is very...

    Burris XTR Pro 🇺🇸

    I'm pretty impressed with mine. My daughter fell in love with the gen 3 razor, so I'm "stuck" with the Pro. My only gripes: I wish the elevation turret had a little more resistance, (or locking) and I wish the windage marks in the tree went out 2 mils or even 1.5 mils. I often dial the first...

    Burris XTR Pro 🇺🇸

    I received one directly from Burris about 3 weeks ago. It is cerakoted and came with the throw lever. I'm not sure if the throw lever was threaded. I hate throw levers, so it has not been removed from the box.

    223 Trainer Build

    It is about the right freebore for 75 grain bullets. I typically shoot hornady 75 bthp on 8208 xbr in starline brass. Cheap and shoots in the .3s in multiple barrels. Plenty good enough to train with.

    Chamber and throat cleaning question

    There is some sound advice above. I have not used boretech or wipe-out but many seem to have good luck with them. I have had great luck using the Speedy Gonzalez method with JB or Iosso. Lately I have been using thoro-clean from bullet central. A little scrubbing gets back to bare metal...
