    7-6.5 PRC

    I understand that Berger 180s are the go to bullets for 7PRCW. However Hornady ELDM 180s and ATIP 190s have superb BC-s and should be as good or even better? Even if the ELDM 180 might not be as consistent as the Berger 180, ATIP-s should be top of the line and just as good if not better in...

    7-6.5 PRC

    Whats the general consensus using Lapua brass and N555. Large Rifle or Magnum primers?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I probably know the answer but is there any reasonable way to modify a Tikka Tac A1 stock to accept long action length Tikka T3 regular mags? At the moment Tikka TAC A1 = CTR MAG = 2.950" correct? Would like it to accept a magnum cartridge and COAL 3.150" or similar. Any hack method available?

    New Tikka Chassis Rifle Coming T3X Ace Game & Target

    Can you elaborate what were the changes that you proposed to the ACE chassis system and which MDT chassis model most closely resembles to the ACE? MDT stuff is really expensive this side of the pond and since Sakos and Tikkas are manufactured in our nice neighbouring country then their prices in...

    New Tikka Chassis Rifle Coming T3X Ace Game & Target

    Does anyone have more info on this. 1) Ace Target with the heavy barrel and two stage trigger is only available in .308, 6.5CM and 223. No 6.5PRC, no 7PRC or other Long Action magnums. Ace Game is available in long magnums. Any info if the Target versions will also be offered in these calibers...

    7-6.5 PRC

    GRT needs a base cartridge with the same caliber. I can´t use 6.5PRC case. However if I change case length and volume to the proper number then the calculations should be correct. That is why I am asking what others have been using if they shoot PRCW and use GRT.

    7-6.5 PRC

    Anyone shooting the PRCW uses GRT Tools for calculations? If so - what cartridge case did you take for base numbers and what H2O number did you use for necked up 6.5PRC Lapua case? I ran some numbers compared to Frank Green and Hornady official testing number and compared PSI. I get almost...

    Thank you for the confirmation. I believe there are no such reamers in my country yet.

    7-6.5 PRC

    Im about to bite the bullet and order the 7mm-6.5PRC reamer from JGS. Can anyone confirm the .2200 freebore is what most are running with Berger 180gr bullets? I assume that is the correct freebore so that Berget 180s don´t go into the neck-shoulder junction where the "donuts" appear. Does...

    7-6.5 PRC

    7SAUM would be almost the same, but only ADG brass poor availability and as far as I know 0 availability anywhere in EU.

    7-6.5 PRC

    Can anyone give their opinion on possible build options. I want to build a 7mm magnum for local long range slow-style shooting matches that are usually in difficult wind conditions. I have a 6.5CM that does not excel in these conditions (400 up to 1100 yards, no sighters, no feedback from...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Any EU based users who have experience reloading with Hornady ECX140gr bullets? Having problems through multiple loads to get consistent results (having 2-8MOA groups for 5 shots). Have tried 2 powders (VV N150 and N555), two primers, 3-4 different seating depths from 0.010" to 0.160" or so. All...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Please advise if this is normal for primers to look like this (heightened edges like it is popping out?). I previously used CCI200 with "normal" signs but no more local availability. Exactly the same very mild load of VV N150 36gr with ELDX 143gr, RWS 5341 standard LR primer @ 2.860 COAL...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Great info. Thanks for the fast reply. I am trying to source N555, but will take time where I live. I am using COL 2.860 (AICS mag length limitation). That is about 30 thousand off from lands (measured with 300 rounds down the bore). GRT calculations I used standard length (2.825"). VV load...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    First time reloading. Please share some advice on data. I have VV N150 and ELDX 143gr with Hornady brass. I understand that N150 is not perfect but that is what I have. VV reloading data show max load for this setup to be 34.4gr (2500FPS out of 25,5" barrel). I have a Bergara with a 20" barrel...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Can anyone explain how barrel length effects powder choise? I have a 20" Bergara 6.5CM that I would like to start reloading with Berger or Hornady 140gr-144gr-147gr different bullets, that is on the heavy side. I have found many suggestions on RS62 powder (for better barrel life), but also RS60...

    Training ideas for sharpshooter classes, other than shooting

    Okay guys, got some great ideas like mirage estimation and unusual position shooting. It will be a hot weekend so these will fit well. I will leave in about 8 hours, so some good ideas are still welcome! B.

    Training ideas for sharpshooter classes, other than shooting

    Already planned. Need something else than range estimating by eye, with binos or mildot.

    Training ideas for sharpshooter classes, other than shooting

    Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster on these forums. Not to the point. This weekend need to fill some time for sharpshooter classes. One portion of class will be on shooting exersises, the other half need to spend their quality time without shooting, but still something related to...
