Cool we’d be happy to have you join us. As I said pm when you have more questions.
The club itself is also a great deal I think we’re $180? A year with steel to 1000, 1000yd K noon distance range, 100/200/300 yd paper ranges, as well as 24 sporting clay stations, skeet/trap, and pistol bays...
There are 3 matches a month that I know of in New Mexico. Taos, Rio Rancho, and Albuquerque.
Components can be tough. Other than the big box stores you can look at bulldog fire arms in Rio Rancho. They have some stuff.

Shooters new to PRS style matches...
I know we talked about it in the 25gt thread. I saw the same pressure in my 25gt moving from the 131 to the 135. The Berger knocked 2 grains and 120fps off of my max.
You are swapping hands unless you’re running a gas gun. Strong side is already off the gun to run the bolt. Running the data on the strong side forearm would work pretty well, like @A&8's talked about. I might try that this week.
totally agree with you that whatever you do it needs to be...
Just been my observations, top shooters gonna top shoot. The mid pack and new shooters are slowed down and typically put the dope on their support arm. When prone they transfer the butt into the strong hand to look at their dope. then they have to rebuild their position. very few of them keep...
I don’t shoot a lot of unknown distance. When I have I typically use a larger format dope card (it makes it easier to see the dope) and then transfer it to my rifle mounted dope holder, i don’t normally range when on the rifle. When I hunt I’ll tape a 3x5 card onto the side of the stock.
Short action Precision
Stop using a wrist coach. it causes you to break your cheek weld / position and slows you down. I use this one because it’s inexpensive and flexible. But there are vendors who make fancy $100 ones to help satisfy any spending urges
Do you anneal? is this virgin brass? What is the diameter of the neck when sized, when mandrelled, and when loaded. Whose mandrel is it, hwat material is it, what size bushing and what does the actual OD of the mandrel measure?
^^^^^^This advice is right on. I hear people all the time say they want to learn on a .308. They don’t. They often get frustrated and quit. If you want to play the Prs game you need to be able to make calls for yourself on the clock. They means seeing the Impact (hopefully) or seeing the splash...
Been a while since I updated. I’ve put another 500 through the rifle in the last couple of months.
First of all the Berger 135s have been super consistent base of ogive, and not to bad on OAL. Weight has also been super consistent.
Bad news they seem to to create more pressure and to get my...
It’s all about. Volume production for me.
Dry tumble 2-4 hours
Lube with Hornady 1-shot 25 at a time
Deprime/size/mandrel on Dillon 550
Dry tumble 30min-1hour
Trim on giraud
Clear flash holes and prime on a Dillon 550 at a time.
Drop powder with AutoTrickler v2.5
Seat bullet on rock crusher...
Definitely check out Fehu outdoors. It’s a small shop but run by a seasoned PRS shooter this bag is purpose built for matches. He’s running on back orders I believe but it’ll be worth the wait.

My gunsmith does my cleaning for me. He unscrews the dirty one and screws on a clean one.
Seriously on a top tier cut rifle barrel I clean it prior to the first shoot, once at 100 rounds plus or minus just to make sure nothing is really weird. And then only if it gets wet or starts shooting...
