    It's not a hard puzzle to solve. It is frustrating. Think of all the 6XC Gen 1 vs Gen 2 vs 6-22/250 drama that's out there. If you don't know how, ask your smith. Or PM me. I've read your other posts, you seem very knowledgeable, and obviously can shoot. The Reamer->Virgin brass-->Sizing Die...

    Hornady brass. Blem RDFs. Piercing primers. Compressed loads. Action screw torque. Two different powders. Two different primers. No seating depth test. 170 rounds. And it’s supposed to shoot like 32.5 of Varget in a Dasher shooting 105s? How about try the known Varget loads in Alpha brass with...

    PRS Talk Can we stop shooting offhand in PRS?

    Service Rifle High Power shooters shoot clean 20 round strings at 200 yards (7" 10 ring) with 2 sighters. A 10" plate at 300 substends that same target size to 300 yards. Sounds like a stage with a competitive opportunity if everyone was bombing it.
