Bump

BUMP. Price reduced to $1800, getting divorced so unfortunately have to let a couple things go.

My last bartlein hit 1700 before accuracy really dropped off. It is definitely on it's last couple hundred rounds, which is why I priced it at 2k OBO.

Unfortunately need to sell my 6mm Creedmoor bolt gun. Surgeon 591 action (around 4k on the action, originally purchased used here on the hide.) 24" Bartlein barrel, Heavy Palma contour, chambered in 6mm Creedmoor by Fine Firearms in La Mesa, CA MPA Competition Chassis Timney Calvin Elite...

I currently shoot 6 Creedmoor, but would switch to 6 Dasher for my next barrel if Alpha offered brass.

I just ordered a box of 110SMK's to try out. I am running a 26" 1:7 twist Bartlein with H4350, CCI BR4's and necked down Lapua brass. Will report back the findings in a week or so.

I have a work trip and unfortunately won't be able to make the Lone Survivor PRS match in Oct. Spot includes the range day for the Friday before the match. I'll sell the spot and range day for $250.

What's your barrel length?

Never replicated the load, but have shot thousands of rounds of it. It is the most accurate factory ammunition I've ever shot. One lot of ammo gave me an SD of 4fps. If you're shooting 600 yards and beyond you'll like the 175smk's.

I necked down a few Lapua cases and ran a ladder test from 41-43. Found that 42.0 of H4350 was giving me 3030 fps and single digit SD's with great accuracy pushing 105 Berger Hybrids out of my 24" Bartlein. If I didn't have 500 pieces of 1x fired Hornady 6CM I would be using the Lapua brass.

You're correct, it's a membership that really only gets you a reduced daily rate. It goes from $30 down to $15. I think the yearly is $75. Rec shooting is always annoying, but I don't know another public range with that much steel from 100-700 yds. You should definitely come out to the...

San Diego here, I shoot at Pala every Friday that I am in town and try to hit their Tactical Bolt Rifle competition as much as I can. It's quite a drive, but I am working on getting a spot out in the desert near El Centro and the bombing range.

E No offense, but the PRS Open Division is not a poor man's game. It takes a ton of disposable income or years of saving up to get a rifle and scope setup that is competitive. Hence the reason they now have the production division (which is still not cheap.) Here's how you can compete with...

When you say "gear" do you just mean support bags and tripods, or electronics too? I would argue that using a Kestrel and a range finder takes more field craft and skill out of long range shooting than any bag or support does. I think that there probably will become a time when the ancillary...

It's sitting at 15.2 lbs according to my bathroom scale.

I am using that exact setup. 6mm Creedmoor head stamped Hornady brass, 105 Berger hybrid and a Whidden die with a .269 bushing. Loaded round measures .271.
