    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56

    Was never a huge fan of Leupold. Not that they did not make good product, I just felt it was tough to justify the higher prices for some products. That was until I shot the 5HD at 2,000+ yards and then comparing it with some other products. Decided to use it as the baseline scope for some...

    300 PRC update

    Fantastic! Sounds like a great load. Very interesting... 79.26 grains. How did you settle on that number?

    6.5 LR shooters

    As I am sure you know, a large part of that will be where you are shooting... ie. sea level on the East Coast, versus somewhere like Wyoming or in other higher elevation areas, or off of mountain peaks into valleys. And then of course there is consistently hitting versus lobbing the round and...

    300PRC

    Put it this way, we were shooting and hitting at 2,000 plus with factory Hornady Match ammo out of a bone stock Ruger Precision Rifle at the media event. With awesome projectiles should be no issues. Plus in the thread, plenty have shared their loads. H1000, RL26, and others. I will soon be...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Looks great. What rear support is that? Surprised you reloaded so many without actually testing them. Perhaps different powders. Try a ladder test.

    300 PRC update

    Thanks. Was hoping for something online. Checked around 5 or 6 local shops around here and no one can get it... at this point, despite having some 8133, H1000 and Retumbo... Reloder 26 is like that Unicorn... just want to get it, almost don't care if it performs. lol. Apparently it exists, right?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Am almost fairly positive the 6.5 PRC I shot was the same platform as the regular 6.5 CM... Bolt and barrel. The 300 PRC was on the magnum platform. Some shooting footage of both. Full video on the 6.5 PRC coming soon. Although honestly, my preference of the two 6.5 is the Ruger Hawkeye...

    300 PRC update

    Oh YES! Looked for both 565 and 570. I think a place around here had 560. IIRC I saw somewhere that 565 looked exactly the same as Reloader 26... or was it 560?

    300 PRC update

    Btw, my understanding was RL 25 was not as temperature consistent as 26... Really love the idea of 26 just can't find any... 8133 is avail at least. One of the challenges talking to the local reloading suppliers is that in their minds, there is so much powder out there now... they don't know...

    300 PRC update

    No doubt. The ammo was consistently sub MOA when we shot it at the media event and gave me my first ever hits at 1,800, 2,000 and 2,300 yards. =) The tinkerer just really wants to see how much more if any we can push it. Thanks to the folks here and Hornady.... regular gun guys can go to a...

    300 PRC update

    Wowser, just read the 24 pages over the previous few days. =P So I have a Ruger Precision Rifle in 300 PRC, same one I shot at a Ruger media event out at FTW Ranch a month or so ago. Blown away by the round and its performance. 1,000 yards felt like child's play and 1800 to 2,000 was quite...
