    6.5 Grendel

    I tried them with Ramshot Tac, couldn't get them to shoot well and gave up on it. I was looking to use it as a gas gun for PRS matches but built a bolt gun instead so I didn't put too much time into it. Sierra lists the highest velocities with Tac and a couple other powders I haven't ever seen.

    First AR-15.....6ARC or 5.56?

    I'd really question whether ammo is almost the same. I'm assuming you're not reloading. In a quick search, the only 6mm ARC I could find in stock is $45/20 rd box, so over $2/rd, probably over $3/rd after tax and shipping. Now 5.56 is really scarce, but you can find some 77 gr match loads for...

    Gun Weight and Hunting

    Just seems overpriced to me relative to better options if you're set on AR-10's, but if that's what you're into that's cool. There's one for sale in the PX. Otherwise, do some searches and reading here: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/nemo-arms-308-rifle.168310/post-2949443...

    Gun Weight and Hunting

    https://www.larue.com/products/16-inch-larue-tactical-predatar-7-62/#panel2 Edit: The PredatOBR has a heavier barrel and that would be my pick, the website doesn't list a weight but I think it's 8.2 lbs. It's supposed to be insanely accurate.

    Gun Weight and Hunting

    How long you can hold sights on target is mostly a function of your position and the support for it. The PRS guys mostly practice building positions with their bags and bipods for this reason. If you're exclusively worried about offhand shots then that's going to be at least as much about your...

    It's about 100 fps difference.

    Building 6mm rifle

    6mm BR is great at 600. Example here I'd you haven't seen it: https://www.accurateshooter.com/guns-of-week/gunweek063/ From what I understand, 300 m people often use even smaller cartridges like 6mm PPC, so if that's the majority of your shooting it could be also used at 600. Good luck!

    6mm BRA

    Sticky bolt with 31.7, as (badly) noted, and had a more flattened primer, over pressure for sure. 31.5 gr was way better and grouped well. Lot 7223.

    6mm BRA

    These are BR4s, so I believe that it's a warm load just not sure how bad. I have 400's, 450's, and 205Ms to try too.

    6mm BRA

    I'm a newer reloader (3 years) and admitted when I posted my velocity chart that I may have missed pressure signs. In the interest of getting more data out and in front of people to likely know more than me, here are the fired cases using 31.5 gr Varget (left two) and 31.7 gr N140 (right) that...

    6bra dies?

    Harrell's will take 3 fired cases and make you a custom die, but what I linked is off the shelf.

    6bra dies?

    https://shop.otmtactical.com/harrells-precision-6mm-bra-full-length-resizing-die.html This and a Dasher seater work great.

    Intro to PRS build help.

    A 700 build would be fine (I'd look at NSS). But I'll just throw out that for about $1500 you could get a used Tikka Tac A1 and end up in about the same spot, they pop up in the classifieds here fairly frequently. The action and barrel are identical to the CTR, but the trigger is a two stage.

    6mm BRA

    Yep. 6 BRA and 105 Hybrids from a 26" barrel, 1x fired Lapua brass, and 69 deg F. Using BR4 primers so again, work up slowly (and I may have missed pressure signs at the upper loads). I ended up at 31.5 gr for both.

    6mm BRA

    Varget and N140 have worked great with 105 hybrids for me, and had identical velocities. The Varget was more temperature sensitive in what I tested, which surprised me, and I've heard N140 is way cleaner.

    6mm BRA

    There are quite a few people using 400's in the BRA thread over on Accurate Shooter. Obviously more options are better, but if that's all you have then I'm sure you can find something that works. Like others have said just don't jump into a really hot load from someone using 450's or BR4's.

    .257 Roberts AI or .25 creedmore?

    If you're worried about accuracy of the 25 CM, don't be. I'm an okay not great shooter, but borrowed a local pro's gun during a match at 1000 yds, went wayyy too well, just effortless to hit steel IPSC plates. The short action and quality brass make that the easy choice if you're set on the...
