    .22 br

    I used the std Forestor die to take my 6br brass down to 22br. It worked well but a honed put die would have been better. I have a honed one on backorder. I use several of there honed dies for my rifles. I am using a Redding FL Type S die now and it works very well also.

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    I have a 27" Marksman with a Hellfire Brake on my Manners PRS. It is balanced pretty well. A Heavy Palma should be just fine also. I do run an ATACR so I have that little extra weight in the middle.

    Advanced Marksmanship Impact high when shooting off barricade

    I used to go high left positional vs prone, around .2 high and .1left. Lots of practice positional shooting groups on paper at 100yds over the past several months fixed this for me. When I miss it is now .1 high around 12:00. I shoot 3/4" dots at 100yds for practice often and it translates...

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    Ran my first "club" PRS match with my 22BR yesterday. (300 rounds on it now) I am using the MDT BR Mags and did not have to make any adjustments at all. I had zero feeding issues. I believe Kelbys does not recommend the BR cases in the Black Bear due to the possibility of them getting stuck in...

    .22 br

    Tried some 85.5s tonight. The bearing surface stays above the neck shoulder junction with these. I jumped them .020 and will do more testing later on. The 85.5's with BR4's ran around 50fps faster for me than the 88ELDM's with CCI450s with the same charge weight.

    Ill edit that, my brain always defaults to my 130gr 6.5x47 load with Varget

    .22 br

    I just got my 22 BR up and running Monday. .255Neck with .100FB, Krieger 7t 4g HV at 26", Kelbys Black Bear Tactical action in a XLR Envy. I sized the new Lapua 6BR brass with a standard Forster Die. Once I had the barrel I did not have enough shoulder bump to get a free bolt drop. I was able...

    I just had a 22BR spun up. It will be early December until Im home to run it.

    Your smith should be able to do everything. Who is spinning up the barrel once you get the action? If you are getting a barreled action from Kelby's just send them the stock and they can finish it up for you.

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    I bought an in stock PRS 1 from Core/Altus that had been cut for a Defiance. I had it shipped to Kelby's to be reinletted then on to my smith. Took less than 2 weeks turn around.

    Advanced Marksmanship T4A vs PRS2 recoil control

    I just started shooting a PRS 2 in a 6.5x47 build. I found I have to load the bipod a lot more than I do on my other 6.5x47 in a McMillian A5.

    Rifle Scopes Which Athlon scope for 22lr

    +1 for the Midas Tac 6-24. I have two of them now and am very pleased. It is a lot of scope for the price and the ability to focus it down to 10yds is great on a .22. The new APRS3 Reticle is very well designed and gives you a lot of hold overs without over cluttering the field of view.

    Wet Tumbler Recommendations

    I know it is not on your list but I have no complaints on my Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series. I am running several hundred 223 now and still had room for more.

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    I emailed Al at MPA yesterday and he said they were "working on the Black Bears now but did not have a release date yet". I ordered mine in June under the impression it would be a few months max.

    Update from MPA, estimating Dec/Jan for Black Bear inlets.

    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    I placed my order for a black bear inlet with MPA right at 12 weeks ago. Was told it would be 12+ weeks before it was finished. I had trouble getting a hold of anyone so I emailed Phil, he responded almost immediately and helped get my order started. 1 phone call later and the order was placed.

    Any reason to prefer 130's over 140's in a 6.5x47

    130 RDF's were awful in my 6.5x47 also. VLD's shoot well

    Tripod Setup Options

    I am running the exact same set up. No loc-tite and have not had any issues after 100 rounds or so off the tripod. I also use my spotter on this set up often. Love the new head but have to upgrade the tripod soon.
