    Dialing wind Question

    Interesting that this is different for different people. On a troop line I am more likely to get lost dialing than I do holding, particularly if I have a miss and have to adjust. Holding forces me to have a number in my head for each hold. That number seems to stick better (I think this is...

    Dialing wind Question

    You have to pick a single number that you believe is correct. You need to be aware of the high and low but the average is generally what I am going to start with. Let's say in this example the average is 10mph. I am going to dial .8 on the gun for the 400 yd target and then hold +.2 for the 500...

    Inexpensive Shot Timer for PRS training

    I understand that it is $300, but the Kestrel KST1000 is superior to the other options. If you are really going to use it, I would recommend finding the extra $$ and purchasing the Kestrel. I have one and will never go back.

    What MOA dot for target Aquisition on bolt guns?

    1. If you have ever watched a less proficient pistol shooter try to find their dot, you will understand that that this is simply another layer of complication. It is also to an extent obstruction the shooters sight line to the target. The base of the sight blocks the view immediately above the...

    PRS Talk Non-Samson Barrel profile for balance/NPA

    CRB Comp Contour at 26" has been my go to for a while now. Very happy with that combination.

    What MOA dot for target Aquisition on bolt guns?

    I will start by saying I don't think this is the best path. That said, if you are set on doing so, the only one from your list I could recommend is the 2.5MOA SRO. Holosun 507C would be another to consider.

    PRS Talk neck size 6 creedmoor alpha brass Breger 105 hybrid

    I believe .267 would be a safe guess on bushing size. That is what I am running on my 6GT with Alpha brass.

    Think I’m gonna sponsor a Team

    If I had to, I could shoot a 1 day regional match for $155-$170 depending on drive distance to the range. That is $60 entry fee, $25-40 fuel, and $70 for components (assumes .70 per round for 100 rounds). Using the components I currently use, the cost is $185-200 (component cost $1.00 per...

    Think I’m gonna sponsor a Team

    With regard to reloading, if possible, find someone who is willing to let you load on their equipment to start with and teach you. Learning from a good mentor will save you time and money. If you start with the basics you can recover the cost of reloading equipment quickly. A Chargemaster and a...

    Prs Cold Weather Outer Layers

    For the hands I keep a carton of Hot Hands in my car. I put 2 in each pocket to start the match and make sure to keep my hands in my pockets as much as possible prior to my turn to shoot.

    Bare Minimum Gear for First PRS Match?

    Binos and tripod were the last items I upgraded from what I started with in 2019. Having something to observe and spot with is a huge benefit and worth spending some money on. I started with a Slik 700 tripod ($119) and a pair of $200 Vortex binos.

    Speed in PRS

    You mention that you are experiencing lots of wobble. What shooting bag are you using?

    PRS Talk Explain the hype

    This is the reason many people (including myself) are trying the 25 cal. In my case I am running 25GT at 2700 with a 135 Berger. Because I was already running a 6 GT, there was almost no reloading gear investment (one bushing, two mandrels). The 135 provides greater feedback both on target and...

    PRS Talk Impacting high past 700 yards???

    The most common cause of this issue is one or more incorrect inputs. Some of the most common are units being set to meters but range is in yards, incorrect scope heigh over bore in gun setup, and wind direction set to manual rather than with direction of fire.

    New to heavy Shmedium bag!

    I believe mine are slightly over 9lbs. They do seem to come overfull. There has to be room for the fill to move so that the bag can settle properly.

    Trigger selection questions.

    This is the answer. I personally like the TriggerTech Diamond Pro. I have 5 and they have all survived the KS/Oklahoma moon dust.

    PRS Talk 1st Gen Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 x 56mm Mildot w/no Zero Stop Vs…

    It can be done. This is almost the same scope I started with except mine was a NP-R1 reticle. I ran it at 11 power. That said, I did transition to a FFP mil based scope not long after I started.

    Should I switch cartages?

    I made this same switch (6.5 CM to 6 GT) back in 2020. I definitely found it easier to shot the 6 GT successfully vs. the 6.5 CM. I like the 6 GT because it does not require mag spacers and it will work with a variety of powders. Varget is my preference, but if that becomes scarce I can use...

    Should I switch cartages?

    25GT as well. I just got my 25GT barrel but have not had the chance to shoot it yet.
