    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    My TBAC cans that had to be repaired had to do with Hornady bullets coming apart, not with stainless steel pins. Nor did the current issue with 108’s, 143’s and 208’s coming apart have to do with stainless pins. I don’t understand why folks so quickly jump to Hornady’s defense when bullets are...

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 9 endcap strike

    I had the same thing happen with some 75 ELD’s on 2 of my cans. The Hornady bullets are garbage honestly and I won’t shoot them through a suppressor any longer. You’ll read multiple issues with Hornady bullets coming apart en route to the target. I was also fireforming BRA the other day and...

    Why is everyone mad at PRS

    You guys need to shoot our matches in north Texas. I’ve had to cap the number of shooters due to the size of our range and we almost always sell out. Our matches aren’t easy, but the newer shooters hang in there and do their best. I’ve been trying to take 5 minutes before the match to have a...

    Getting overheated

    I don’t understand that large of a dispersion in your group. I shot about 50 rounds through my bolt 223 in approximately 10 minutes and the rifle still shot predictably at 500 yards. If you’re seeing that much dispersion, something must be greatly amiss especially if you’re seeing it at 300 yards.

    Why is everyone mad at PRS

    Who on earth is running a $15,000 rig? And if new shooters are treated poorly, that is a serious problem. My intent is to make new shooters feel welcome and progress in the sport. If your club isn’t doing that, it’s time to find a new one.

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    That guy is a known shill. Block him and don’t look back.

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    You just print it. That’s exactly how to pay for the crazy “infrastructure bill” as well.

    PRS Talk Adjusting wind calls on the fly

    Yes sir. When I'm feeling confident on the wind, I'll make up 2 wind columns for my dope card. If I'm not, I'll have 5. That way, all of your possibilities are worked out beforehand. The final ingredient (and likely the most important), is spotting the EXACT spot of your impact on your first...

    PRS Talk Adjusting wind calls on the fly

    What you have described is a very complex situation. Honestly, with varying wind values, it would be difficult to know without sending a bullet. However, if your squad mates are helpful, they might say something like "Run your 5mph bracket out to 800, then go to 7mph". You can sometimes tell...

    PRS Talk Adjusting wind calls on the fly

    If you know the delta from your first call to the actual impact, you now have the correct wind speed for all distances. As Captain Morgan said, the easiest way to do it is to follow your new wind bracket. Another way to do it is to add .2 to your call for every mid-range target (800 and in, for...

    Rifle Scopes I love this reticle ❤️

    In the past 5 years of competition, I can count on one hand the number of times I either held over or under. And 3 of those times I held under. I prefer a thin, unobtrusive reticle for spotting.

    Do you shoot your .223?

    Holy crow, Sheldon! This is why I LOVE 223's! They seem easy to load for, and honestly you're not that handicapped until you get past 600 or so. The biggest issue is energy on target. Who did that barrel for you?

    high level vaccine skeptics

    Your only two choices are to talk to those with opposing views, or engage in violence to kill them? I guess the "Live and Let Live" mantra isn't going to work with you folks. You clearly have no business being on SnipersHide telling folks you're either going to talk to them or kill them.

    Rough weekend

    So deeply sorry for your loss. I always count my grief an honor because it means my loved one was TRULY loved. I'm convinced I'll see my pup again.
