    Valid method for finding jam, Or just stupid?

    Just buy the Hornady tool and be done. It's a $45 tool for a $3,000+ rifle. Measure 10 times, throw out the longest and shortest measurements and run with it.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    The data posted was in reply to your question regarding the difference between a 105 at 2850 and the 115 at 2700. I'm pushing the 105 to 3010. That's a different dataset which I didn't post here.

    How to transition from thinking in MOA to thinking in MILLs

    Yep. Your reticle is a Ruler. Doesn't matter if it's measuring in Inches, Centimeters, or Planks. Once you take your shot, spot where the bullet impacted, use your ruler to measure the difference horizontally and vertically from the point of impact to the CENTER of the plate. Whatever those...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    @reubenski I did mention that I was just trying this for fun. IF I can see a difference, great. If I can't see a difference, no worries. You're right about atmospherics playing a large part in the visibility of trace. In those cases where trace is visible, I'd like to test for myself if a...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    FWIW, I'm only at 3010 not 3100, that's like 6XC speeds (those speed freaks!) I was able to get the 112 MB's to 2950 with 34.1g of H4350 - but with a 28" barrel. You should have no problem doing 2800-2850 with them. I'm always trying stuff just to experiment and see what happens. If I don't...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Looks like (according to JBM), TOF is pretty similar between a 105 at 2850 and a DTAC at 2700. I'm running the 105 at 3010 in my GT, so there's definitely a possible TOF advantage to a slower DTAC there. Results TBD... 105 @2850: 200 0.224 0.0 0.0 300 0.347 0.0 0.0 400...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I got bored and decided to time my reloading operation to see how much time I spend from start to finish on 50 rounds. Sizing, cleaning, chamfering, priming, dropping powder and seating. It took an hour and five minutes for 50 rounds start to finish, including set up of the sizing and seating...

    How is RCBS in business?

    I've only had one problem with an RCBS product, and it was self-induced accidentally. I got a piece of grit between a shell case and the sizing die body that gouged the die. I'm only an hour and a half away from them so I called them up and asked if I could stop by and purchase a replacement die...

    Beginner PRS Set-Up and advice on what NOT to buy yet

    Here's how this should read: "Signed up for my first match. Can't wait to learn and make some friends." Just an FYI for new shooters: Once you tell your squadmates that you are new, they will have zero expectation that you are going to shoot great. Everyone there knows very well how difficult...

    Finding a wife

    Are you a musician? Girls love musicians. At least, I think they do. I met my wife at a gig. Not a musician? There's still time. OBTW, that "tick, tock" you hear in the back of your head? That's a metronome. Get to it.

    what's the go to caliber for PRS

    If my only two options (based on your original post) were 6CM and 6GT, I would choose the GT. First, I'm a Cheap Bastard. 6GT has better barrel life than 6CM. Second, 6GT uses less powder than 6CM, which also falls into the Cheap Bastard category.

    Tripod shooting expectations

    You can get close to prone (bipod/rear bag) accuracy standing off a tripod. As with everything, it does require quite a bit of practice and experimentation to figure out what works for you.

    PRS comps take way too long

    From my perspective, matches are about spending time with friends old & new and shooting steel while hanging out. The camaraderie of cheering each other on and heckling each other on the clock is what makes it all worthwhile. Yes, we're all there to test our abilities and challenge ourselves...

    Local matches vs practice

    But ladders don't fit in my backpack. My tripod does, and I can make the height whatever I want, including the awkward ones for extra practice.

    Local matches vs practice

    I just throw my Schmedium on top of my tripod, set it at standing, kneeling, sitting, high prone and work on recoil management and trigger control on paper at 100 yards. Paper doesn't lie, and 100 yards eliminates wind from the equation. My 'misses' are 100% me. No excuses.

    Hey, vaccinated

    I laughed way too hard at this. I might have to keep this for use later.

    Local matches vs practice

    A couple years ago I shot matches only for an entire year. club level, regional, and national matches with some F-Class matches thrown in there for practice at 1K in the wind. It certainly raised my comfort level with being on the clock, because I was ALWAYS on the clock. I think I shot...

    Tips, tricks, cheats & hacks - Let's hear 'em

    I cannot agree more with the above regarding practice. A match is not a place to "practice" - a match is The Test of what you have practiced previously as you apply what you have learned to solve the problem presented to you.
