    Just stick with 2.800 OAL for 168gr Nosler bullets?

    Using a Hornady OAL comparator, I'm getting a loaded OAL of about ~2.700 in my GAP 308 rifle. Doesn't that seem too short? Regular match 168gr ammo like Federal FGMM that are loaded out to 2.800 seem to chamber and shoot fine. Something I'm missing here?

    How do you guys transport mags and bags in competitions?

    Do you guys just wear cargo pants and stick the spare mags in the cargo pockets? Recently got a Gamechanger bag and love it, but how do you guys carry it around?

    Sig Kilo 2400 or SWR Radius and Kestrel 5700 Elite?

    Picked up a SWR Radius recently due to the price drop, and I'm really enjoying it. Thinking the next step may be a Kestrel 5700 Elite to help me learn and measure wind and other atmospheric conditions. But with the amount of money a Radius and Kestrel 5700 Elite costs, I could probably get a Sig...

    Why 6.5 over 6mm Creedmoor?

    Is it just due to barrel life? Recently acquired a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel along with a 308 bolt body and magazine adapter for my AXMC. Seems like 6mm cartridges are rising in popularity over 6.5 in PRS. Starting to wonder if I should have gotten a 6mm Creedmoor barrel instead.

    Anyone load 50 BMG?

    What powder, bullet, and load do you guys use? All the older threads I searched recommended WC860, but it looks like affordable and available surplus WC860 dried up a few years back. Pulldown WC870 and WC872 seem to be available, but I keep finding worrisome reports of pulldown powder being very...

    Do I need to start using small base 308 sizing dies?

    Been using my DIllon 308 dies on my Forster Co-Ax. All the loaded rounds have the correct OAL and pass my LE Wilson Case Gauge. I am using once fired brass I bought off the forums and other places online. Problem is I have a really difficult time chambering the rounds into my GAP Gladius. I...

    What bags would you recommend for PRS?

    Trying to figure out which bags to get first. Getting lessons soon and was told to at least bring a rear bag so I'm leaning towards the SAP Run 'N Gun bag. Any other bags I should look at?

    Why isn't 300 Win Mag used for PRS?

    And is the popularity fading?

    6.5 Creedmoor die set recommendations?

    Willing to spend up to $200 or so on a set of reloading dies for 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm relatively new to rifle reloading and it's such a big jump from pistol reloading. What die set would you guys recommend or have bought for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Rifles that offer quick change barrels?

    Only rifles I know that offer this are the Accuracy International AIAT and AXMC, the Barrett MRAD, and the Desert Tech bullpup rifles. Am I missing any? Kinda surprised that there isn't a lower priced option that offers such a feature.

    Any of you own a C&R license?

    Would you recommend it? Are there really any C&R deals left to make the effort worth it? Seems like it's just $30 for 3 years which is actually kinda surprising to me.

    How much should I expect to pay for a good condition 1903A4?

    Came across a Gibbs 1903A4 rifle recently for $1500, but I was advised to steer clear since they're not real 1903A4s and have quite a few differences. How much should I expect a good condition 1903A4 to run? Recently at Wanenmacher in Tulsa, I think I saw one for $3000+ but that seems too high.

    Howdy from OKC!

    Not sure if I classify as a new guy since I was on the Scout version of snipershide as flashandpoof, but I was also on these forums previously but forgot my username and email lol. Recently lived in Tulsa but am back in the OKC area. Boomer!!
