    My 7-300 PRC Project

    Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?

    Look at how the ammo stacks to the left and right in the mag. That's why you are left and right of center with your groups.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I have never had a problem with Alpha. Peterson was thicker and had to turn them.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    41.5 is a common load with that combo. 41 to low 42 is where it should shoot.

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    I think at this point I would try another scope. Check everything and monitor / check the action screw torque between strings. I had issues with a magnum once and the cute was to bed the action and use a small amount of lock tight on action screws. I would not rule anything out and get a bit...

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    His (OP) orig and subsequent posts say 1:8 twist. Where are you getting 1:7 from

    Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

    That looks like residual carbon to me. I would do as others have stated, Good cleaning. Shoot without suppressor with different ammo and see what happens. How many rounds on the suppressor too? They need to be cleaned every once in a while.

    Quick Load

    Like @Dogtown said. I shoot a few charge weights so I can true QL. I can trust a trued profile. Then we shoot across the barrel time somewhere around 1 to 2 grains off max. I have had very good success finding the load the gun likes doing that. If I have to do this in a single range trip...

    Apples to Oranges. Just changing the numbers in the calculator really does nothing. If you shot your zero at 103 yards thinking it was 100 and you put a 100 yard zero in your ballistics calculator - your equations at distance will never line up. It is actual numbers and performance vs...

    BC Correction

    The point I failed to make with that was make sure your data is good and matches. We do 100 as it is set at our range. But if I have 102 for zero in calculator but actually shot my zero at 100, then the output data will not be accurate and get worse the farther I shoot. Our hunters typically...

    load and speed??

    BC Correction

    Great point. Our firing line is set up so the line runs through the turret of our scopes, another piece some folks miss. (do not measure from the muzzle, you adjust/measure for the turret) We put up a rather large paper target at our firing line. We drive out to our targets and range back...

    Our process is simple and has worked on many rigs. We run ZCOs so unless I see something really wrong we do not do tracking test. Have yet to see an issue with any of them. First we verify zero at 100. We make sure it is 100 yards too, not 101. We verify the data in the Kestrel. We shot a...

    You need to be more specific with load, powder, bullet, speed, reloading process / bump, etc. I run Alpha in 3 rigs without issue and do not have issues running 109s at 2930 or 115 DTACs at 2850.

    Suppressor Issue

    When was the last time the suppressor was cleaned?

    N160 works with heavies. My QL profile with 115 dtacs has max at around 38.5 and 37 is 2845 and 99.9% burn. I don't think it would work well with 105s but I have never tried. N150 and RL15.5 are my other go to powders for the gt. I tried N555 too, and it works but it is a full compressed...

    Don't, it is terrible stuff - I will buy it all and save you from the horrid results

    37 grains of N160 with 115 DTAC is 2845 for me in 27" 7.5 twist

    I am getting real bummed. I have been using VV powders for years now, got tired of waiting on H4350 etc and now all you folks are looking for alternatives to the over priced H powders. Bastards going to make my secret well of powders disappear! I hate you all.
