    PRS Talk New shooter timing out a lot

    Which yields a better score: fire four times and get three hits, or ten times and get zero hits? I've watched so many newbies spend their practice time trying to shoot little groups or little targets from the bench or prone, doing little positional practice or ignoring it altogether. Then the...

    Strelok Pro

    I don't remember seeing any iMazing option for a free trial, nor did I come across any instructions from Igor. Can you clarify for the community? As for me - I made the jump to Applied Ballistics Quantum a few weeks ago. The level of support via YouTube videos and forum posts helped me...

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    There are a bunch of Youtube videos detailing how various features, including DSF, work. Watch them, because some features probably don't work exactly the way you expect. "Understanding Ballistic Calibration in AB Quantum" gets into DSF, including subsonic/rimfire starting at about 17:45. I...

    PRS Talk carts

    I use an old jogging stroller with unnecessary belts and such cut away. Ammo, kestrel, etc. go into a smallish range bag with side pockets that fits easily in the seat, with room beside and in back of it for other bits like cookie bags, knee pads, etc. Game changer bag rides just right in the...

    Long range 22 LR

    This should have been emphasized earlier: what do you want to do with the rifle? And what ammo are you using in your 452? Full disclosure: my input is based on competition-grade accuracy. I expect a near-100% hit rate on a 1/4" dot at 50 yards or 1.5" circle at 100 with good ammo (ammo is the...

    Long range 22 LR

    tl;dr: Unless there's some additional reason to go with the T1X, aftermarket support for CZ is better. ------ From what I've seen at the range and at matches, CZ rules the factory-rifle space. The only T1x experience I have is through a guy I used to shoot with; he bought one of the early T1Xs...

    New guy introduction and barrel question

    Yes, I believe you're correct. You can search to find out. I used something like "how to tell if a vudoo barrel is ace or bartlein" in Google, because the SH search function is rather weak. Google found posts in multiple forums, including SH.

    DeLane Dev Grp V-22S Single Shot Support

    "The right thing to do." In today's USA where half the population is loudly proclaimed as vermin unworthy of breathing by the other half, acting in a way that benefits everyone is so often seen as a silly weakness. You go, Mike. If you're like me, you're not doing this for accolades, $$...

    Long range build advice

    I think Rob and Rocketman really covered the differences between 7PRC and 300PRC. Here's something to keep in mind if you're coming from a factory rifle background: I assume you're building a for-purpose ELR rifle, which will only be used from a support; in this regard weight and barrel length...

    Long range build advice

    So, OP, "PRS" and "beyond 1000 yards" don't mix - at least here in the central Atlantic region. Maybe things are different in Texas and other wide-open regions, but the farthest I've ever shot in a PRS-style match is 1100ish yards and the vast majority of targets are inside 700. I started this...

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    I have to agree with CK. You have a relatively light rifle firing a .30-caliber round with a fair amount of recoil off a wobbly front rest and you are not squared behind the rifle so I'm betting the rifle hops laterally on recoil. It does look like your adjustable comb (cheek rest) is too high...

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    It just occurred to me that OP may want to run an exercise I have used with new shooters over the years - mainly pistol and shotgun, but it should certainly work with rifle. I would explain to the shooter that I was going to be watching for a flinch. Depending on the individual, I may or or may...

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    How big were your sample sizes? What differences did you record? Do you feel that the improvement with BR2s was worth the extra cost? Also, your testing was in big-bore calibers, mine was in .223. So, your large rifle primers were lighting up four times the weight of powder (.300 PRC) compared...

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    I'll be surprised if you see much difference. Try the bullets for sure.... but it's highly unlikely - like win the powerball chance - that CCI BR2 primers will do anything. I tried BR4 primers in my .223 last year to see if they tightened up my ES/SD values. A buddy of mine and I were grumping...

    Dillon 550 sizing and seating on Rifle

    Good catch. I certainly found this to be true. Early on, I tried to wipe lube off cases by hand. Of course, this got tedious fast, and I ended up with cases with a bit of lube left on them. Early pressure signs ensued. I now use a separate tumbler with old/used corncob media to clean lube from...

    Dillon 550 sizing and seating on Rifle

    I use a 550 this way for precision loading: Anneal (AMP) Tumble in corncob/polish media Resize/deprime (station 1) Mandrel (station 2) Run brass through separate tumbler to remove lube Prime with hand primer Powder - charge all cases with Dillon drop measure/trickler/ FX-120i (yeah yeah an...

    Bergara issues

    Bullshit. Not a thing wrong with Starline brass.

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    This. I had a range day at a venue some distance from me... POI kept shifting just enough to make me annoyed... ... brake had come loose.

    @DocUSMCRetired , I just wanted to let you know that I just subscribed to Pro for a year. Your presence here, coupled with the descriptive videos and what I've learned about the app via the free UltraLight version for a couple of weeks, got me past my resistance to the subscription model...

    New to PRS – RPR vs. Tikka T3X – Looking for Experienced Insight

    ^^^ What he said. My son just got into his first precision rifle, built on a Zermatt Origin action. Awesome accuracy, and it runs as well as either of my rifles with more expensive actions (Defiance, Terminus). I started precision rifle / PRS with a Tikka T3X TAC-A1; it was a great...
