    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I have settled on the 130gr Gamekings (#1728) for my "GO TO" hunting load. With 43.0gr of RL-17, 2850-2900 FPS and out to 200 yards, minute of squirrel brain accurate. At <300 yards, they are just as accurate, (a little more consistent) than the Matchking 140's. Could be because of the...

    I have not. For a load workup with RL-17 I would start with 41.0gr and work up in .3gr increments. Just load a few at each level watching for signs of pressure and watching the velocity. ( I use a MagnetoSpeed) There is no published data for RL-17 in the 6.5 Creedmoor, so tread these waters...

    If you are buying factory ammo, you are likely paying close to a buck a round for them. How much do you shoot? You can reduce the per round cost by 50%.You can set up a single stage press with all required "extra" stuff for around $250.00. Find a used on on Flea-Bay or other sites and reduce...

    I went medium on a scope for the Ruger, I went with a Vortex Viper PST 5-24 EBR-2C and mounted with a Burris P.E.P.R mount. When not shooting this allows removing the scope from the rail quickly and easily and replacing it with no change in point of impact. It keeps the scope safe and leaves a...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    As for ammunition, I load my own and load with Sierra GameKings and MatchKings. I have loaded a few of the Hornady bullets, the latest being the 143-ELD-X. Results with all of these have been very good. The Sierra Gamekings (130gr) have been the most accurate for me at shorter ranges (<500...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Welcome aboard WuYen! Mine took a bit of break in as well. Work the bolt on the bench, Cycle it a few dozen times and it will get much better. The tolerances are very tight, but that makes for a good shooter in a bolt. I have seen other comments about brake and hand guard alignment, but I...

    Anyone use a kelbly atlas tactical action?

    Masterpiece Arms uses them in the high precision builds they offer. They guarantee 3/8" groups at 100 yds. http://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-6-5ba-creedmoor-bolt-action-rifle/ I shoot with a guy who bought a rifle from them and it has the Kelby action and the MPA manufactured barrel (6.5CM)...

    Magpul type AC works great in my 6.5. Smooth and very reliable. Won't ho; the bolt open either!

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I had to share that one with the gang down at the club..... We have a few with $5,000.00 guns with $6,000.00 polish and shine jobs on them (Benchrest class). For sure they will kill paper, and catch a lot of sun for the sparkle. It's like going to an art gallery! (Yea, I'm jealous).

    LOL, you know that's gonna drive the Libtards over the edge. We can't let the evil anarchist have those automatic assault guns with those monster clips!!!! BTW, what does that contraption weigh in at? Gotta be pushing 20 pounds with the big Vortex with extra junk clamped to that, the can...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    So I took the 6.5 out hunting last weekend, was supposed to be a pig hunt, wind was blowing for two days,all day at 25-45-65 mph. We were very near the Canton, Texas area where the tornados were that killed several people. We were oblivious as we had no outside contact while we were at the...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Pick up a couple of MAGPUL 7.62 x51 type AC magazines. They are designed for bolt action rifles and run flawlessly in the Rugers. They are great for no bolt hold open and are perfect for single round through the port loading as well. The mags they send with it are semi-auto mags. Not well...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Since the pig run is coming up in a little over a week, I made the range run tonight and pushed the Precision up the next notch on the ladder. I would like th eopinion of the experts here on how close, if not over, I am reaching to overpressure. My goal was to get <.75 MOA at 2800fps +. These...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Since H4350 powder is rare as hen's teeth, I picked up some RL-17 locally. It has been very consistent in the 6.5 CM Bushmaster conversion and now produces very good results in the Ruger Precision.. I ran a batch of Hornady 143gr ELD=X through it today. (I have a hunting trip for hogs at the...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    So I was hanging in the cave last night, and wanted to do something about the buttstock on the Ruger Precision before the match on Saturday. After looking around I gathered up a few loose pieces and fixed it. My issue with this rifle has been the horrid buttstock. Specifically the rough...

    Possum Hollow #313, arrived last night, perfect fit. On a Gen II with the brake, you will need a 38" rod. My 36" won't quite clear. ​​​​​​​

    308 AR10 Build Info/Picture Thread

    Once again, I am drooling over so much super nice hardware. Wish my budget would allow such elaborate builds. On the fly, and on the cheap (not according to my wife) I put together a pig gun because I could not afford to buy a new one. I had a shot out Bushmaster LR-308 that had a whole lot of...

    Do you believe this target?

    I have not ever seen the same target used at three different distance spread that far apart - did they move the target or move the shooter? If they moved the shooter I would sure not want to be the 100 yard shooter at that place!!!! Someone at 800 yards would probably not even see the poor...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    WOW, so much super cool hardware in one place. This is one I have been working on and shooting for several years. Have taken it out to 1,000 with repeatable good results. Rem 700, 26" VFS barrel, printed, trued, .308W, 1:12 twist, Lancer Viper tunable brake. Timney 512 trigger. REALLY likes...

    If you really want to see a scope setup for a long range shooter, check out Mark and Sam After Work on Youtube. This guy sets his rifles up with 80MOA+ and regularly shoots out past 4K, and does it very successfully! I can't even see that far with my spotting scope! Griz44Mag
