6.5 PRC vs 300 wsm
I do Use G7. Per Kestrel and other ballistic information, G1 is a flat base bullet and G7 is used for long low drag Bullets. These sites state to use G7 for long range Bullets. Running a G1 with my 140s shows a 1.2mil difference in drop at 1k. At 1139 yards my bullets Impact where the G7 shows...- Ripdog28

6.5 PRC vs 300 wsm
From my Ballistic AE data and at 500ft elevation. Confirmed dope at 1139yards so I trust the data from AE. At 1000yds it shows it going 2144fps and has 1429ft/lb If I put your data (147s and 2875fps) into AE for 500ft elevation, I am a few under your numbers.- Ripdog28

Gunsmithing 6.5CM AR10 Cycling Issues
To clearify, Double feed (2live rounds) or a failure to eject with a live round pick up? The failure to lock back, first check magazines, cheap fix. Try a standard gas block. $45. In 3 gun, the vast majority of problems I see with cycling are guns with adjustable gas blocks. The trigger...- Ripdog28

6.5 PRC vs 300 wsm
Not sure about others numbers but my 6.5CM pushing 140g with 23.5” barrel still has 1429ft/lb at 1k. No over pressure either. Also, bigger Bullets don’t cause more trauma. There are many factors that go into that. Bullet design, energy, material hit..... Don’t fall into The old belief that you...- Ripdog28

6.5 PRC
How about you stop asking questions and do what you want to then. If you do not like people’s replies then stop asking. If you shoot under 300 yards then get a 50cal. Every reply is valid but clearly your mind is made up so just get a 65PRC. From your responses, I’m beginning to doubt you hold...- Ripdog28

6.5 PRC
Better accuracy under 300yards? Really, the bullet is .310. With a .4moa that isn’t 2 bullets wide at 100. 6.5 PRC is a waste for 300 yards. Get a .223, or .223AI.- Ripdog28

Impact Precision Actions
Well for someone who has no history in ranges past 400yards, I have run 80 rounds of 6.5creed thru my Impact build, 23.5” muller works barrel, MPA comp chassis, Bushnell DMR. Probably 30 of those were between 800-1150 yards. This gun makes me look good. Granted the targets are 2’x2’ but seeing...- Ripdog28

Impact Precision Actions
Why not get the same scope? I run a Bushnell DMR (GAP reticle) on my 23” 6.5creed and recommend staying with the same reticle across Rifles. Simplifies things. Those can be had for $1,000-1,300 on here in classified- Ripdog28

Stepping up from a creedmoor. What gun $1500-$2500
Unless you just want bigger diameter or just the distance and If you already shoot 6.5 CM, look at the 6.5PRC. Hornady is running with it so brass is around.- Ripdog28

Defiance or curtis action choice
Wade, don't you love it when the guy talking smack, uses a source then the source contradicts him and confirms your statements? Like the whole Kavanaugh crap. Loving my Impact man, awesome investment.- Ripdog28

Surgeon Action
All I know is I am happy as hell with my Impact Build. Slippery smooth. I have a few friends who have won competitions shooting Base 700s, AI, DT and after running their guns, am glad I went with Impact.- Ripdog28

Had I seen this 2-3 weeks ago, I may have held out on the Impact I just picked up. Could have a finished rifle for the cost of the impact.- Ripdog28

MPA BA Competition Vs KRG Whiskey 3?
How is the MPA viewed as a comp only? Truth is when I hunt, say a fence line, I use a tree/fence/stump as a rest. Yes it has a lot of options but truth is, many things used for competition are practical. Because it’s Alum? I would much rather have an alum chassis, KRG/MPA/MDT with options than...- Ripdog28
