    Impact Scope Ring Height

    Do you have an adjustable comb? Probably yea. Run the high. I use the seekins/vortex PMR high. On an impact with heavy varmint and a gen 2. Your neck will appreciate the extra height. Your ballistic calculator will figure out the drop

    6.5 Creedmoor Muzzle Break Recommendations

    All the top brakes are close. It’s gonna depend on how your gun is set up. The most important thing as others have said is getting one that doesn’t beat you as the shooter up. I think the heathen 3 port is the most gentle on me. But the ACE has better recoil mitigation at a small increase in...

    Vortex Razor Gen 2 vs Gen 3 after the turret fix?

    I have found that the field of view is larger on the gen3. I run 18 power on the gen 3vs 15 on the gen 2. FOV seems the same. You’ll like that gen3

    25 gt vs 25x47 lapua. Help me decide please.

    With the Berger and the GT you will not make 2850. you’ll probably make 2850 with the x47, but not 2900 without being very close to pressure .I did a lot of work working up a 25GT with the 131. I am still working on the Bergers. Best I can do is 2725 without pressure signs. I have a buddy...

    Heavy bolt lift with mild 6cm load

    @megafans Double check your scale calibration, and your OAL. .006 to .007 sounds like a bunch of expansion but not out of spec. Mine grow .003-.004 on virgin brass. This almost is the exact, (I’m at 39.4 and I run the CCI 450) same recipe I am running in all of my 6cm. I have no pressure...

    Help Me Improve. How to Get More Precise?

    @J. W. Don’t get too hung up on the annealing. It’s good it’s useful but it’s not going to shrink your 100 groups by .2. I personally got lapua brass with 15+ firings and no neck problems. I have a buddy that shot a bunch before everyone annealed and he went 20 or so loads on his 6x47 lapua...

    PRS Talk PRS Tactical 308

    I run the Ace brake, area 419 is great reduction but seems to me that it is harder on the shooter (over pressure), I also have run the heathen. The area 419 is excellent recoil reduction with high pressure. The Ace is very good recoil reduction with good pressure on the shooter, the heathen is...

    ^^^this^^^ Also if you have the ability run a muzzle brake on your .308 definitely do that. Part of the game is spotting your splash.

    Help Me Improve. How to Get More Precise?

    @J. W. The first thing that I think will shrink your groups is using high quality brass. If you’re using Winchester or the like you’ll need to volume/weight sort then cull. Try and make sure they are all the same lot. Also on your .308 load you might benefit from going to regular LRP instead...

    Best bullet for PRS-type shooting, 6mm GT, 7.5 twist

    @Malum Prohibitum I wouldn’t hesitate to use the Hornady 109s while you wait on your Bergers. Again i have not seen a decrease in accuracy past 600-800 yards. I wonder if The reports of that may be the fact the the bc is less than the box(i use .275 G7 at 3000fps), and they will be more...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    Did a long range shoot last weekend. Just for fun took the 109 ELDm out to 2070 yards. Density altitude of 6300, muzzle velocity of 3000. Drop was 27.8 mil. They were transonic at 1650 yards. Took 4 shots to get on plate then 3 in a row. 2 x 1.5 MOA plate. All the bullets went through the target...

    I have a Zero Obsession Lately

    I zero from prone, of my atlas PSR and my game changer shmedium +1. the same as I shoot in competition. I considered it zeroed if it will impact within half of the group size of the load/rifle. (Usually .5 +/-) For an initial zero (scope out of the rings) I try and go out early morning, and put...

    Best bullet for PRS-type shooting, 6mm GT, 7.5 twist

    I’ve shot over 1000 109 ELDs. Granted it was a 6 Creed but I’m not stepping on them. They are doing 3000 fps, and I have seen No drop in accuracy at any distance, out to 1400 so far. The barrel is a 1:7.5

    Tires? What to use them for (Props)

    I use them stacked 3-4 high unbolted/connected. We will often have a stage where the shooter will engage the target(s) remove a tire and repeat. Or do the opposite add tires after each series.
