Saw ur note abt polishing raceway. Moly paste is great idea for polish/lube. Want to smooth out action on my RPR. Did u remove trigger assembly before polishing? Don’t think I’d want the paste to get down there??

My 2 cents: I made a similar move abt 2 yrs ago: wanted something a little more precision. Bought Ruger Precision Rifle in 308. Yes, 6.5 Creed definitely shoots flatter and holds super sonic farther but l also reload, had significant investment in 308 so I stuck w that cal. Votrex Viper PST...

So I’m reloading 308 w Hornady 168 ELD, mostly for target shooting w RPR. I trim cases back to abt 2.010 w Lyman manual trimmer but get some variance: maybe 2.008-2.012. I don’t want to be neurotic about this. Can someone tell me important is case length when trimming? I know COL is...

Not sure if product reviews are appropriate. If not, pls advise and I’ll delete. Using Lyman Brass Smith powder measure. Have Dillon progressive but using as single stage for 308 reloads. Pleasantly surprised at the Lyman Brass Smith. I loaded 50 rounds, tare on every case prior to powder...

FYI: That worked! Thanx.

Est. 2750 based on drop @300. Don’t have chrono.

Working up load data for RPR 308 using CFE223 powder in case anyone’s interested. First pic is SMK 168, my reference standard. Second pic is Hornady ELD-M, 168 using CFE223, 46.5.46.6 grains, Fed brass, WIN LR primers, COL 2.800” nominal. With exception of probably flier, I’m reasonably happy...

Just so u know what’s behind the quarter: 😁 Empty paper.

Just breaking in new RPR 308. After few warm up shots w cheap stuff, pic shows 4 round group shooting SMK 168 grain @ 100 yds bench rest. Similar results at 200, 300, 400 yds: all ~0.7 MOA I’m happy so far!

Copy that. Thnx!

So I’m starting to reload 65 Grendel in once fired Hornady brass. No experience w other brass but heard stories that some Grendel brass requires lg rifle primers while others require sml. Also heard stories abt using sml rifle magnum primers instead of regular primers. Any advise/comments ur...

Working up loads for Ruger Precision 308 using 168 grain ELD bullets and CFE 223 powder. Anybody out there working with this combination care to offer comments? Thnx.

That worked! Thank you!

I’m breaking in new RPR w SMK 308. Shooting from bench rest with bipod and sml bag under butt. Getting 0.5-0.6 MOA @ 100 yds but sight picture thru scope jumps abt 8-10” off target to the left when I fire. What might I be doing wrong??

I’m kinda in the same boat. I’ve been shooting out to 600 yds with my old Savage 308 and good Vortex scope. Just bought a Ruger Precision rifle 308 (abt $1300). Planning to put the same Vortex scope (tactical HST, 6-24). That was abt $700 so I’ve got roughly $2K in my beginning outfit. Looking...

I’m shooting Hornady 357 XTP 158 grain from 18.5” barrel, bolt action. Not exactly a long range topic but I’m looking for any ballistic data. Don’t have a chrono yet. Anyone??

Just picked up RPR in 308. Looking for good quality scope mount. Understand Spuhr is what lot of precision shooters use but $400 is a lot for scope mount. Opinions please.

So I read an article recently in Gun Digest about the 16 top affordable precision rifles here. https://gundigest.com/article/6-precision-rifles-bolt-action Ruger Precision rifle was not on the list. So has it fallen from favor or am I missing something. I had the new. RPR gen 3 on my want list.

Python, cobra - my bad. I’m not a wheel gun guy. If ur hitting 6” steel at 950yds w a 10x, then ur already better than me. My apologies. Wasn’t trying to insult ur skills. Just rehashing some of my learning experiences that you’ve obviously already been thru. To that point, if you’ve reached...
