    300 WM brass recommendation needed

    I’ve loaded Nosler, Hornady, and Sig. My preference of the three is Sig.

    Verifying chargemaster

    I’m curious how many people use check weights (not calibration weights) versus a second scale. My workflow used to rely on two scales, now it is just a single chargemaster producing very acceptable results (over 2100 rounds 6.5CR since March 1). Chargemaster is modded a bit with a brass...

    Were Firearms Readily Available to You as a Kid?

    mine weren’t dope smoking but wouldn’t even let a BB gun in the house... so I joined the infantry. Now, decades later, I’ve built my dad an AR-10 and he carries a Glock all the time. ?

    Using the coax to size brass. Does it work?

    I use a CoAx with a Redding Tyoe-S FL die. One pull of the arm for de-prime, FL size, neck size, and shoulder bump. I prepped a bunch of match brass yesterday with a shoulder bump of about .001” and do check measurements every 10-20 rounds. Things always seem to hold consistently over hundreds...

    I can just see the next PRS match in South Dakota.

    Chasing the Lands.

    My experiences with 1800+ rounds this PRS season through my first custom build and barrel has taught me the importance of this. If I keep my 140 ELDs at .020” - .035” off the lands I get sub-.5 moa groups. Around 1500 rounds there was erosion of ~.040” which opened jump from my original load to...

    PULLED: Atlas BT46-LW17 w/ Area 419 ARCALOCK

    Used and fully serviceable Atlas BT46-LW17 bipod with BT37 spike feet and Area 419 ARCALOCK clamp and barricade stop. I’ve shot this during several matches this season. There are some cosmetic blemishes on the front of the barricade stop (because it’s a barricade stop). $XXX shipped CONUS (I...

    Rifle Scopes Getting back to long range shooting

    From my experience: - Get FFP - The 5-25 range is good for damn near any shooting one would do with 6.5CR and 10-15x is where I run 80% of the time - I don't use illumination much, but I sure have missed it when it's not there. - Tree reticles are over-rated; after using a couple, I way prefer a...

    How wide is a jump “sweet spot”? (6.5CR)

    Good test results last night. Checked zero and chronographed my previous best tested jump (.020”) at 100y then moved to 1000y with e-targets. .025 was clearly the best group at that distance. Shot one was expected shift and shot 8 was a flyer because of a flinch from the person next to me firing...

    How wide is a jump “sweet spot”? (6.5CR)

    This is a full custom and I installed the barrel myself. It was a 1/2 minute shooter and those are my expectations, but I notices it opening up around 1400 rounds. Ammo was already loaded, I didn't want to or have time to pull down bullets even though a few weeks ago I suspected things weren't...

    How wide is a jump “sweet spot”? (6.5CR)

    This I have learned. Let me try to clarify my curiosity. I have about .040" throat erosion. What was a "good load" fell apart on me. I re-ran jump tests yesterday at .010, .020, .040, .060, .080, and .100... .020" performed clearly the best. That said, when loading lots of ammo, I like to...

    Best Way to carry lunch during a "field style" match?

    How wide is a jump “sweet spot”? (6.5CR)

    It obviously depends on that. Also, I have chronograph data since November (in Minnesota) with this new action. I know my node is good and just shot a 10 round string with a SD of 3 and an ES of 8. Only curious about the general range of tolerance for jump.

    How wide is a jump “sweet spot”? (6.5CR)

    Greetings all, I’m revisiting jump on my 1700+ round 6.5CR Criterion barrel I’ve been shooting this summer. My load opened up and I decided to revisit things with some testing. Yesterday I ran 5-shot test groups (140gr ELD over 42.3gr H4350 with sub-10 ES) at 200y with .010, .020, .040, .060...

    Shoulder bumping ques.

    If it were me... Weight sort out 50, 100, 200 (or whatever) pieces and make that a dedicated lot for the R700. Fire those in the bolt gun then bump those shoulders .001” - .002”. Load those for precision from that rifle. Take the rest of the brass and SAMMI size it to run in the gas gun...
