    12" ish Barrel 6.5 Grendel

    Are you willing to share what charge of LVR you're using with the 129s? I've got both 12" and 16" barrels and with 30.3gr of LVR and a 129 ABLR I'm seeing ~2400fps out of my 16" but I'm only seeing ~2160 out of my 12", which seems slower than it should be. At 60 degrees I'm only seeing 2200...

    Ruger precision rifle 6.5 creedmoor (lite)

    Nice setup. I managed to get a 17" 6.5C RPR down under 8 pounds (for the rifle itself) and it's a fun rifle to shoot and not too bad to carry around.

    16-18" 6.5CM H4350 or Varget?

    I think you'll find that by the time you're in the 120+ grain bullet range the H4350 loads will be giving you more velocity than Varget, though both will still work with those bullets. I've got a 17" 6.5 Creedmoor and I'm using 42.0gr of Varget with a 95gr Vmax just because I had a bunch of them...

    Chargemaster Lite vs Chargemaster Combo? VS?

    I bought a Lite to replace my 1500 Combo after it died and I like the Lite a lot. I find consistency is the same, I swear the Lite dispenses faster when it’s dispensing the majority of the load before it starts trickling, and I like that it’s smaller and a single unit. I never used the memory...

    Hello from Kentucky

    An accurate 10/22 with a decent dialable scope and CCI Standard or any "match" ammo is plenty to get started. It's a real low-key match. Hope to meet you out there some day.

    Rifle Competition Events NRL-esque Rimfire Match - Crittenden, KY

    We're pretty open with stage design and props. If people want to shoot a specific stage or use certain props to practice something we can probably make it work, just email J-Hon (his email is in the FAQ he linked in the first post) or show up early at a match and ask for what you want while...

    Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

    This is a shot from my main target hill looking back towards the firing position on the far hillside. Right now I've got targets from 200-830 and with a little more tree clearing I should be able to get 1000-1100 yards. We're building a house on the same hill as the firing position, it'll be a...

    Nothing super fancy, my Citori 725 Sporting and my buddy's Citori CXT.

    I am enjoying watching you flail around like some agitated monkey.

    Tell me what laptop to buy

    Ah yes, an old person with outdated knowledge who also wants to complain about Linux, gaming, Apple, man buns, laptops, small screens, etc... and talk about how long they've been using computers. This is all coming into focus very nicely. I'll throw you a bone though, I'd probably hate laptops...

    Tell me what laptop to buy

    See, again you seem kind of unhinged and angry. "Jackass" "Cultists" this is the kind of stuff that flags you as someone who probably isn't giving very balanced information. If you read my first post you'd note that I also said a quality Windows laptop would be just fine as well. The real issue...

    Tell me what laptop to buy

    The butterfly keyboards have been gone for a while now. I'm sure you knew that though because you're obviously very up on current hardware. I'm sure all those $400 Windows laptops you recommend stand up great to your "hard use" though. I have no idea what your desktop is and it really doesn't...

    Tell me what laptop to buy

    If you're referring to my post note that I said a decent Windows computer would be fine too. I manage 100+ users in an environment where we have Macs, Windows computers, and Linux computers in a production environment. I do prefer Macs personally but I don't pretend they're the only answer for...

    Tell me what laptop to buy

    I hope your rates are cheap because between your misinformation and your hyperbole I wouldn't expect your IT support skills would be particularly useful. A $400 laptop is going to be and run like garbage right from the start (garbage build quality, garbage display quality, generally the...

    Titanium Suppressors - Do they All Spark?

    I've built a few Ti suppressors and they all throw some sparks at the beginning due to shavings and remnants that remain in the can after putting it together. Once those burn/shoot out (like just a few shots) I've never seen sparks from the cans even in low light or dark conditions.

    Should I Be Worried?

    Assuming you're talking about the "in stock barrel nut prefits" it says a number of things right now. First, it says no backorders, and since when other stuff on the website is OOS they remove the option to add it to your cart, so the implication here (and from the "in stock" naming) is that...

    Should I Be Worried?

    So basically "in stock" is a total lie and you and I are going to end up waiting months anyways. I just wish suppliers/smiths would quote realistic lead times, and if that time passes a simple communication addressing it would be nice. I probably wouldn't have ordered this barrel from PVA if I...

    Im chopping my barrels... length?

    Obviously (though it seems the obvious easily escapes you based on a number of your posts) that load would be similarly faster in the short barrel compared to my generic load I gave for comparison purposes. Your load would surely be much faster than 2700 out of a shorter barrel, so your "300fps"...

    Im chopping my barrels... length?

    Talk about silly hyperbole. Consider a 6.5Creed shooting a 129 ABLR at 2850fps, a perfectly reasonably load. Now take the same bullet and shoot it from a 16" barrel and you're gonna see about 2700fps. We've got a deer 400 yards away and we're zeroed for 100 yards. This is a reasonable distance...
