    Bipod for prs or other matches

    The shooter leading the mdprs series in points right now uses a cheap Walmart 6-9” Harris knockoff. Take it for what it’s worth.

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    You bumping the shoulder every reload? When I shot a .243 r700 it would take 5 firing of just neck sizing the brass before I need to bump shoulders. I didn’t have a comparator to measure growth after each firing but that leads be to believe 1 firing doesn’t stretch the brass to the full chamber...

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    I was trying to explain I don’t think the bolt head floats forward or backward in relation to the muzzle when the bolts closed. As far as needing to remove the ejector to carry out the procedure described, I’d vote no. I’ve done the procedure described with success but curious what others input...

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    I believe he’s asking if he resizes his brass long and chambers the long brass into the rifle until he gets and easy bolt to close (bumping the shoulder back the very minimal for his chamber) does he need to remove the ejector to get a good feel of when the bolt is no longer pushing the shoulder...

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    100% (of the back of the) bolt lug engagement (to the front of the receiver lugs). Go grab your rifle and work the bolt slowly you’ll notice when you move the handle down it pulls the bolt forward, that’s the hard metal action engaging the back of the bolt head lugs and pulling the sloppy...

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    The distance from the back of the lugs to the bolt face will never change.

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    I think he’s asking about figuring out how much to bump his shoulders and check coal to lands after he bumps his shoulders.

    headspace and bullet seating depth for savage rifles

    It’s hard to understand your question. But I think when the bolt is shut and the lugs are engaged the bolt head is no longer just floating around. The back of the lugs on the head would be engaged or locked into place by the action.

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    I heard the trigger they come with is pretty nice out of the box. Rumor has it krg will be releasing the bravo chassis for Howas soon.

    Velocity extreme spread vs group size when reloading

    I go with group consistently over es/sd numbers. Testing another powder like Reloder 16 would be my recommendation.

    69 or 77 grain SMK in an 8 twist

    Why not try the 69 tmk? Similar bc as the 77 smk but better velocity.

    HOW ARE YOU GUYS GETTING SINGLE DIGIT ES????

    The guy who really helped me along when I first starting shooting told me.. “Comparing groups is just another dick measuring contest.” I use that philosophy a lot with other areas of the shooting realm. Social media and comparing ammo sd’ are included.

    HOW ARE YOU GUYS GETTING SINGLE DIGIT ES????

    Hornady brass & CCI 200 primer. I agree completely. I’m also not interested in shooting 100 rounds over a chronograph just to gather a number. I’d rather just shoot and gather dope personally but I’m just a new shooter who doesn’t know his *** from a hole in the wall.

    HOW ARE YOU GUYS GETTING SINGLE DIGIT ES????

    6.5 Creedmoor. I use Hornady Match dies with a .289 Redding bushing.

    HOW ARE YOU GUYS GETTING SINGLE DIGIT ES????

    Factory savage rifle, hornady 140hpbt, rl16, lee turret press, chargemaster throwing charges. Had a 3 shot string with rl17 that had an es of 2 and sd of 0.8. I don’t think I do anything special, just found what my rifle likes..

    Prs style rifle build——xlr element vs krg X-ray

    I prefer my element (savage) over my friends xray (Tikka) but if the envy was available for the savage that’s the route I’d go.

    Reloder 17 and throats

    I run 42.5gr of rl17 behind 140smk 140hpbt-m and 143eldx. Primer pockets will loosen up on 4th or 5th firing, atleast for me. I see 2750-2810fps depending on bullet out of a 20” barrel. After roughly 950 rounds I’m seeing about .06” of erosion according to my data.
