    The Evolution of Barrel Cleaning

    Did you have a fitment come loose and you bent the jag or ??? I'm trying to envision how you get the cleaning ROD stuck in the barrel?

    The Evolution of Barrel Cleaning

    @orkan Can you post a video on how you were able to manage getting a carbon cleaning rod stuck in your barrel. There's many shooters out there like me, that aren't familiar with how to do this.

    260 Rem., 260 AI, 6.5x55 AI, or 6.5 PRC

    I believe the barrel life will be very close to each other in the chamberings you mention. Heat/pressure is what kills barrel throats, x performance is y barrel life. There's no way around physics. Shot string intensity/length, barrel lots of steel, cleaning regimes, reloading pressure levels...

    260 Rem., 260 AI, 6.5x55 AI, or 6.5 PRC

    Who makes PRC brass now and 5 years from now? What if I decide to run a Hodgon Extreme or Alliant/IMR temp solid powders...can I meet my exterior ballistic goals with xyz chambering? Are off the shelf high quality (i.e. Redding Type S etc) available and readily supported ? Can I setup the...

    Gunsmithing Throat Erosion in a 6 Creedmoor

    Nice shooting What powder/velocity/barrel. My math says that's around .007 per 100 rounds, a bit on the quicker side of the spectrum. Cant argue with results on the target. I'm primarily interested in learning if the cooler powder/lower pressure theory has substance to it regarding barrel...

    Range Report ELD-M 130 gr real BC?

    What twist? Sight in/zero height and optic tracking test would be where I'd focus, before tweaking the BC much more than 10% of Doppler/AB tested values. Measuring impact height on target in 1st person on paper for steel vs 2nd person though a scope/spotter with a reticle on a rock face, would...

    Gunsmithing Throat Erosion in a 6 Creedmoor

    Excellent data points above. So Blowbys 6 Creed/4350/115HBN/at 2967 is on a .0034/100 round throat erosion pace. My 6 Comp Match/RL26/115Naked/at 3050 is on a .0031/100 round throat erosion pace. Between measurement methods, lots of bullets with ogive variation, HBN/Moly/Naked bullets, barrel...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    RPR design (ie Tubb 2000) eliminates many sources of stress found in a chassis/improperly bedded stocked rifle. Short bolt throw, takes ARC mags, user adj LOP, my Timney is tuned to a field reliable 10oz pull, piles of aftermarket support, prefit barrels everywhere. I think you can spend a lot...

    Help with resizing

    Everyone's fired cases are filthy ? The Type S dies don't size the full length of the neck just like Sheldon posted above.

    Help with resizing

    Can you post a pic of a fired case next to your sized case focusing in on this neck shoulder junction area? What is the diameter of the top and bottom of the neck of both a fired and sized case?

    PRS Talk Flying to Shooting Matches - Right Place to Post this ?

    You are correct Sir. Fixed my post. Non-TSA got auto corrected out or I jacked my post typing from a phone. I just travelled. On my way to the match from HOU no issues. After the match heading home PHX TSA wanted another lock on the case (it had 3 out of 4 spots full) as he attempted to crack...
