My first free Saturday to go shoot in months and the range is closed for maintenance…..

From top to bottom:
R700 .223 Wylde
Lone Peak .22Creedmoor
R700 6.5 Creedmoor
R700 7mm Mag
Kelbly’s Atlas Tactical 300 PRC
Sig Cross PRS 6mm Creedmoor

Setting up both the AW and AE MK1

Release date announced. October 23rd.

Had 60 rounds leftover from the PRS southeastern regional finale. I thought it would be a cool test to see how my loading process is holding up, how the barrel handles heat, and just see the natural dispersion of the load. As you can see groups change. Looking at one group is only a small picture of its natural dispersion.

Firing order is TL, TR, BL, BR, TM, BM.
Three minute cool time for the first three groups, five minutes for the last three. Groups combined with TDS.

Started reloading and competing in the same year so I'm definitely ok with roughly 1moa or 1.1" for 60 rounds and nearly single digit SD.

95% or 57/60 shots are .575 MOA with an average mean radius of .292".

First time messing with TDS for combining group data. I thought it was cool.

8 shots at the 4x3 diamond at 456y.

Also I’m interested in a 6arc gas gun, is this the group to ask for recommendations on putting one together?

I’m wanting to buy a Ruger American Ranch 16” barrel in either 6.5 creedmoor or .308 and use it with my Rugged Alaskan 360 suppressor (.36 cal). Would either of these calibers be quieter with my suppressor or would it be so close you’d never be able to tell?

Why 9 rounds on a single Target? Take a look at each individual Group. G1 is .81, G2 is .51, G3 is 1.05…for an average of .79 MOA. Thats Sub MOA right? Wrong! Look at the combined 9rd Group of 1.45 MOA. THAT is the Truth.

You can see how easy is it to intentionally or unintentionally misrepresent the capability of a rifle, ammo, and shooter. The objective of this Target is to help shooters understand the reality and limitations of small sample groups. And yes, 9 rounds is STILL a small sample size…yet going from 3-5 rounds to 9 rounds nearly DOUBLES the Group Size. We believe it is the first serious round count Interval that can be referenced for anything reliable. u/9holereviews has made this case for years!

I suck at true long range so I have to suffice with Long (For Caliber) Range lol here I come 125yd!!!

I can’t find any information about this scope, looking to see how well this will work on a bolt action .308 rifle.

What’s the practical value of a WMLRF for an NRLH match? Would it replace LRF binos with an onboard solver? Or is it redundant if you already have that gear?

Picked up this today after being on delay for 2 weeks. First bolt gun. Hope to get it out to the range this weekend and get the barrel fire lapped in and some groups shot.

For anyone thinking of making the plunge, just buy a Lee handloader and fuck around with it.

About to get into precision shooting. Only waiting on mags and rifle. Almost there

Figured I’d share a cool project I did.

I’ve always liked messing with hardware and software, and thought the MDT Crush It Timer and Send It Level were really cool form factors.

So one weekend I decided to risk bricking my timer and see if I could reverse engineer it.

Ended up turning it into a ballistic calculator while keeping the timer and stopwatch functionality.

The solver supports G1/G7, spin drift, aero jump, and environmentals. Once your rifle profile is set, you really only need to enter DA, wind, and range.

The ballistic solution works really well, but honestly my favorite part is how simple it is to use. Just a knob and a little screen.

Pretty happy with how it turned out. Curious what you guys think.

I see a lot of post online saying don’t put a lot of money or money at all into a ruger American, just save up and get better rifle. I was able to touch a mile with both of these and couldn’t be happier! What’s your option on Ruger Americans and what has been your experience upgrading them?

1. Ruger American Gen 1 308, Arkin 26 Bull barrel, mdt xrs chassis.
2. Ruger American Gen 2 308

, 22in stock barrel,

1. mdt lss gen 3 chassis

So many good options it’s overwhelming lol. Use case is for 308/300prc as a current setup on a switch barrel rifle but might in the future jump into 338 realm. Tbac is at the top of my list at the moment and specifically the Magnus s rr in 30 cal. I like the option to buy the recoil x flat cap and have a quieter more traditional suppressor or run the rr brake and cut down on that recoil a bit. However I keep second guessing myself and am debating should I get it with a 338 bore or something like the ultra for the possibility to run 338? There are also things like the griffin armament prc suppressor and others grabbing my attention. Lastly torn on mounting systems as well, the sr from Tbac speaks to me because I like over built things but maybe it’s overkill on a bolt gun? Will be used for prs type shooting ranges from 800-1200 yards, budget isn’t too much of a factor but any money saved is nice.

Can’t share the price but it’s pretty good for the Gen 2, aprs6 reticle Mil version.

I have gotten very interested in team matches. I have a buddy who competes at Mammoth and running simulated states with him has been so much fun. I love the teamwork, communication, and find-range-engage format, but I’m not interested in doing Mammoth or any other event that requires that level of rucking in the immediate future.

What are my options for a team sniper style match with either no timed rucking or much less rucking and more generous par times than Mammoth?

Btw I did do a little research and it seems like NRL Hunter, TRT in MT, some Colman Creek events, and some events at Ben Franklin might fit the bill, but I would love to hear from folks who have shot these events.

tLDR: what team precision matches have less or no rucking?

Will be taking a beginner precision shooting course in December.

Max range is 500y and I will be running an 18" Aero Precision 308 with a SilencerCo, SAKER ASR 762 can.

I'm currently shopping for glass and I have settled on the Vortex Venom, FFP, MRAD reticle, and MRAD turrets.

My question pertains to magnification; it comes in 3-14x and 5-25x. I have read in several places that for me at my skill level (0) and class conditions that 3-14x is actually the better option and will be sufficient for me for a long time while I skill-build.

I just wanted input from you all that this is the correct approach because I'm fighting my urge to get the 5-25x (because of the cool factor, I know that's bad motivation).

Thanks !
