    Who's got time and experience behind a RPR in 338L

    I'm getting closer to making the purchase as I've got everything else all setup and ready to go. Everything I've been reading leads me to believe the Ruger RPR 18080 is a solid rifle for precision work with the horsepower of the 338 Lapua. There's still just not a whole lot of reviews out...

    That's all very helpful guys.

    Nobody? I figured someone here would have one and know what it likes to eat.

    Who's got time and experience behind a RPR in 338L

    I'm looking at a RPR in 338 Lapua. The reason is because I've been shooting out to 1,000 yards for a decade and would like to take a 3,000 yard class. I'll be handloading, and already have some lapua brass, redding type s dies, but have really been trying to figure out which exact rifle I'd...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    Yeah that was our last ruck of the day. It was heart breaking to miss it by 15 seconds, but at the same time the hotel room didn't sound half bad either. We're talking about what we'd do differently next year "if" we did this again.

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I'm still writing up my AAR and gathering information together from stages where I didn't take good notes. I was in the 3rd squad. On the opening ruck I believe 5 teams across the board missed the ruck. We got taken out by the last ruck for the day on day 2 by 15 seconds. As far as the packs...

    AR10 6.5

    I'm in a similar boat where I'm looking for a semi auto 6.5 that's reliable enough to run through a fighting carbine class, but accurate enough to take to a match. So far I haven't seen anything that really meets up with those two requirements.

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    As far as pack weight goes, I'm done worrying about it at this point. Weather forecasts are showing 70 deg highs and raining half of the time. Less than a week ago I slept outside in a lightweight setup thinking I'd reduce a pound or two because the temp at home showed very close to what was...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    Well, I'll be seeing some of you next week and my stuff is all bundled up. I really wanted to be well below the pack weight that I'm at, but I don't think there's a whole lot else I could do to lighten up the load and still get by. I'm at 50# give or take a few. It blows my mind how much the...

    What do you hope will be revealed at SHOT Show? Or 2020 in general.

    I'd like to see a rifle carrying backpack that has 50L or more of carrying capacity that is around the 3# mark or less. I think Eberlestock could use modern lightweight materials and cut the weight of their packs in half.

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    Diver, Those are awesome pictures. I'm hoping that in 2020 I can attend a lot more rifle matches like that but I'm in northeast indiana so I doubt I'll be able to make it that far out west.

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    I can't say I've been to a lot of PRS matches. I've only been to one, but something that shocked me was that a lot of guys didn't have a sling on their rifle or think to bring one. There were several stages where a sling made all the difference for me and I was very happy to have had one...

    What do you hope will be revealed at SHOT Show? Or 2020 in general.

    I'd like to see an ultra light backpacking 22lr that's less than 2# and packs up tiny that actually has good sights and is accurate. I'd like to see factory 338 lapua ammo coming out similar in price to federal gold medal match.

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    I have tried out one of the Kifaru gun bearers and I love it. When I first started packing and preparing a loadout for mammoth I was really hoping to use that in conjunction with a Mystery Ranch Scree, but the 32L pack was just a bit too small for what I'm going to need for three days. I've...

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    When I said "It'll never get the love of the high dollar packs, but I've had great luck with Kelty packs. " I was not saying that I don't get why more expensive packs exist or judging anyone for paying more for one. As far as paying for gear goes, in my opinion I have no budget restraints on...

    What do you hope will be revealed at SHOT Show? Or 2020 in general.

    I'd like to see a compact precision rifle that can be folded up and fit into a normal backpack that would weigh less than 9# with a scope attached.

    Backpacking Pack - Mammoth Ready?

    When selecting a pack, in my simple opinion there's no substitute for putting some weight in it and start knocking out miles. That's when you're going to find what fits and what doesn't fit YOUR body. When I've been on the trail and seen other hikers there's a huge following for Osprey packs...

    PRS pack, Dragon Egg or Mystery Ranch Assault or Front?

    When it comes to packs I start with whatever it weighs and that kicks out a lot of bags out there. I love my mystery ranch scree, it's 32L and 3#. The similar sized M.R. assult packs weigh another 2# or so and they don't have that much more room or space in them. It's all relative and ideally...

    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    I've never used the Hornady Match dies, and everything I read seems to reconfirm the Redding Type S die. I just don't know which particular ones to get now. I'm fine without having the dial on top of the die because once I get the die setup in a 550 tool head it doesn't ever get moved again...

    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    I'm in Fort Wayne IN, not too far from Cleveland, but there isn't any of it available in this town.
