    .22lr and max wind

    I don't like to true dope in those conditions, but will shoot in them if I have the chance. It is much better to train in harsh conditions. As was said previously, if there is no wind, you might as well check your dope and then dryfire.

    Adjusting elevation vs holdover/under for NRL22

    I agree with this 100%. There is also the other side. No amount of training will make you infallible. We are talking about one mistake. I will agree 100% that this is a mental game. I am an average to barely above average trigger puller, but have somehow managed to minimize mental...

    Bushnell Forge 15x56 vs Vortex Diamondback HD 15x56

    I bought the 15x Forge as I could not afford the Swaros. Later, I had the fastest clean on the prs barricade at a local rimfire match and won the Diamondback HDs. Vortex is a great supporter of our sport, but my Diamondback HD will be used by my kids to spectate at centerfire matches. There...

    Appropriate budget for newbie

    This is pretty good advice. I will say that I started on a very tight budget. I agree that a person who is serious at long range will buy all of the stuff listed and probably more. I will also admit that I made a career change to afford to get more serious about this hobby. In full...

    Best action and barrel system for changing yourself.

    AI is king. The arc barloc will work well as long as everything is done correctly. I personally have 3 bighorn actions. 2 TL3s and an origin with a HLR lug. I run gunsmith cut TL3 barrels (shouldered) when I want top accuracy, and when I want cheap I run Criterion Savage prefits from NSS. I...

    Best Predator Hunting Caliber

    My guess is that is comparable to 22/250 and would be about perfect for night hunting.

    Best Predator Hunting Caliber

    I have shot coyotes with 243, 243 Ackley, 223, 204, and a ton with 22/250. I used several bullets, but nothing that is really a normal boutique bullet. Allegedly, Berger 105 VLD Hunting bullets in a fast 6 mm leave small holes for 6 mm. I never had a gun that would shoot them until I got into...

    Bill Gates says we all should eat lab grown meat.

    30's...although I'm not sure how many of my classmates were paying attention. We definitely took a time machine and went back to the early to mid 1930s politically. These agendas are old, but damn are they sinister.

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    This is easy to game with very little effort. New Gamer Gun = 223 shooting 88 or 85.5. TL3 with sendero contour steel barrel, tt diamond, krg bravo, muzzle brake. The gun will be under 15 lbs. There will be no recoil. You will give up little to nothing on the 6br except energy and ease of...

    Help: Berger bullet seating depth, distance to lands???

    I agree with everyone that this is way over analyzed. The one thing that hasn't been brought up is the speed at which the throat erodes. To learn, I used a borescope to make sure the throat was clean and checked my distance to the lands every 200 rounds with the Wheeler method and the Mark...

    Athlon uhd 15x56 Or Bushnell Forge 15x

    The forges have better glass than the kaibabs. I have not looked through the cronus uhd binos.

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    I paid attention. My response is due to the fact that it came up and someone may reference this thread with different aspirations than the OP. Also, the 6.5 Creed doesn't really beat out the 6br significantly until well past 300 yards. If he has it, he might as well use it.

    Many Actions coming to the Market. Which one to pick ?

    To the OP. I have a love hate relationship with switch barrel rigs. My entire family shoots. I have 2 TL3s, an Origin, and a Nucleus. We have modified the lug thickness on the origin and the Nucleus to utilize TL3 prefits so we can all use barrels interchageably. We practice with no brake...

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    What everyone is saying is true to an extent. If you are going to single load it is absolutely true 100%. If you wish to mag feed 6BR it will depend on which action and magazine set-up you have. 6BR is finicky to get to mag feed and some setups will not do it reliably.

    6.5 mm action in 6mm build?

    This better in wind discussion comes up a lot. The question is, how much better? Is it worth what you are giving up in precision and consistency. A 6BR with 1" of vertical at 600 yards is going to be more forgiving for wind on a diamond or circle target than a bigger, less consistent...

    6mm cartridge variants utililizing large rifle primers

    Based on drawings and numbers I have seen that is not a very safe assumption. You will want to have reamer prints and sizing die prints as well as a print of the specs for the brass you will use. My suggestion is to call Superior Shooting Systems (David Tubb) and discuss with him. He also has...

    Is my Savage worth upgrading?

    If you want to shoot matches, put a better barrel on the gun and leave it alone. If you really want to upgrade the stock, do it with something cheap. You will never get your money back out of it. I shot a savage in matches for 2 years. It was a $250 Cabela's 12 FV that I put a used HSP...

    6mm cartridge variants utililizing large rifle primers

    Pick one. They all work. I have had upwards of 2500 rounds from CBI 243 Ackley barrels running H1000 with 105s and 115s. Been through 5 or 6 barrels now. They usually give up around 2500 rounds though. I'm going to try a cut rifled barrel and see if they last longer. A guy I shoot with...

    Maybe dont sell shit to Biden voters

    I will try to say this politely. Our country is being ruined by traditional globalist politicians on both sides of the aisle. Both Bush administrations did a great deal of damage. While true, that the democrats have become very open about it, there are rino Republicans supporting the same...

    PRS Talk Fixing PRS classes, New Class: Spec Class

    I see this both ways. I went from being a teacher, where I made $50K and my wife stayed home and took care of the kids to being a builder where my wife is an integral part of the business. I now make a much better, but still modest for Snipershide, living. When I was teaching I ran a rifle...
