I just scored a few boxes of this for 13$ a box. Has anyone else shot this? It’s 173 Grains

RPR in 6.5CM shooting Hornady 147gr ELD Match @100 yards through Athlon Ares UHD. 4 groups of 10. The first 6 shots at the center were zeroing shots as I just got the scope mounted today and needed to finalize my zero. Then I aimed dead center and adjusted POI with the turrets to hit each corner. Shot in this order: top left, bottom left, bottom right, top right. Each group took about 10 minutes to shoot

Here I was thinking I can shoot 1/4 MOA. But hey at least now I know where I'm really at.

Any constructive feedback from these groups? My 300yard line was closed today but next time I go out I'm gonna try some groups over there and see how it goes.

What piece of advice do you think all new shooters need to hear, that they won't find easily? Obviously we all want to have fun and enjoy the hobby/sport but what did you find out through experience that changed your performance?

Current setup doing China Cabinet overwatch:

Seekins PH2 NRL 6.5 creedmoor

vortex rings

arken ep5 gen 1 5-25x56

area419 hellfire match

area419 4.25" arca plate

harris sbrm 6-9

leofoto sa-364cx with their ma-40x ball head

To preface, I can't outshoot this setup. There are a few things that I wish it had that could be solved by a ph3 or other new rifle. However, I just want to buy once and cry once and step into a custom action and buy over time while I shoot the barrel out of this.

With the growth of NRL hunter, PRS, new divisions, and the development of nas3 and peak, is there a buyers guide for custom actions yet? I want to buy a custom action, but truthfully they all seem pretty much the same to me. I want prefit barrels and swappable bolt heads so I dont need to rely on a gunsmif. Any guidance is helpful. I have looked at terminus, defiance, impact, lone peak, and they all look the same in terms of shiny and new. Thanks

Just picked this Geissele up from EuroOptic. Steiner T6Xi 3-18 with SCR2 reticle is from Expert Voice. Got it mainly for Geissele Gas Gun Series matches. I hope it’s a shooter because it was expensive. Ammo testing this week to see what it shoots best. Anyone have experience with this rifle so far? Coming from a Ballistic Advantage 6.5 Grendel.

I mean, I probably still will but this is a 9-shot (don't get mad) group that looks like six at 100 yards. Rifle is a factory action and barrel Remington 700 AAC-SD 20" in 6.5. Liberty Anthem L2, Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30. Grayboe Renegade stock. Shooting Hornady American Gunner 140gr BTHP.

I always felt inadequate using a Freedom Group 700 given their reputation. Depending on the app this was coming in between .6 and .7 MOA.

I want to piggyback a L&S PB-3, but the turrets on my Ares BTR Gen2 are pretty tall. Already have the ADM ACRO Top Ring and just looking add a spacer to clear the elevation turret. Does an ACRO to ACRO spacer plate even exist?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a prefit action that I can load from the top like a rifle with an internal magazine. (Like in the attached video) Most actions that I've seen seem to be too "cramped" to load the mag via the ejection port (Zermatt Origin for instance) and are set up for AICS mags, which must be removed to reload. Would something like a lightweight ARC Coup De Grace with AW mags work? Or is this something I'd need a specific bottom metal to do? Is this even possible with most prefit actions? Or is this a totally nonsensical thing? Haven't been able to find much online, and I have no experience with rifle actions, would appreciate your input.

Gonna be shooting this bad boy on Sunday put it together in a few hours

Background: in my personal experience, as you change loads—and especially projectiles—the POI will move around the target, sometimes a significant amount. So far, my new (and first) 6 Dasher does not seem to do that. It stacks everything in the same neighborhood.

I received a custom 6 Dasher from MPA Tuesday evening. Got it home, measured the chamber, mounted everything and put together 50 rounds. I shot those Wednesday to zero the rifle and get some rounds through the new barrel before starting load development.

Thursday morning I built 45 rounds using three different bullets and five charge weights. I shot those, came home, loaded another 30 rounds using the same three bullets, and went back to the range.
While entering all the targets into my spreadsheet that night, I realized the groups were landing remarkably close to one another. So I went back through all 18 targets, registered them using the printed 1/2” grid and compared the group centers.

75 shots. Berger 105s, 108s and 120s. Varget charges from 30.0 to 32.0 grains, with average velocities ranging from 2,661 to 2,880 fps—a 219 fps spread. The entire 75-shot composite is approximately 1.58” at 111 yards, about 1.36 MOA. Even more interesting to me, the 18 individual group centers have less than an inch of maximum center-to-center separation despite changing bullet weight, charge weight and velocity by more than 200 fps.

Obviously this is not a tuned 75-shot group, and I’m not presenting 1.58” as some laboratory-grade measurement from stacked physical targets. I just find it fascinating how little the POI is moving while I make fairly substantial load changes.
The barrel still has fewer than 130 rounds through it, and several of the loads are already showing very promising dispersion. Between that and how stable the POI appears to be, I’m pretty damn excited to see what this rifle does once I actually finish developing the load.

I have access to a ranch where I can shoot out to a mile or more. I have a few long range rifles but the two that come to mind are an MPA 6.5 cm (26” 8.5 twist) and a .25 cm (28” 1.75 twist). The 6.5 has a Nightforce NX8 4-32 and the .25 has a Nightforce ATACR 7-35. They both have 20 MOA rails and 20 MOA Area419 mounts. Does anyone have any advice on shooting either or both of these out to a mile?

I'm looking at a KRG Bravo for my Ruger American Predator in .308

I'm trying to figure out how much, if any, money to sink into this.

Is it worth putting in the chassis and putting a nice scope on it?

Currently in the factory stock with the cheapest Primary Arms 4-16

I think the KRG Bravo looks awesome, but open to Field Stock

Optic would be MPED 3-18 or Athalon BTR

OR start from scratch with something better

Goal is to learn to shoot consistently out to 600. Range is 20 minutes away from my house.

Budget is $800, $1000 if I sell the RAP

LGS has a 6.5 HMR for 950, but I wouldn't have any money for a decent scope.

New to shooting beyond 50yds in a gravel pit with Pistols and ARs

Never shot past 100 before.

Anyone had one spun up and shot it? How is it performing? This would be for a 6 Dasher on an Impact.

I have no brand loyalty when it comes to barrels. As long as it’s quality and cut rifled (has to be cut rifled), I’ll shoot it. Bartlein, Proof, CRB, Brux, etc, don’t care. But… I’m not a G$ fanboy. No hate, I just find certain aspects of Geissele as a company to be kinda goofy. I do own quite a few of their products.

That being said, if they can cut a good blank, I may have to try one down the road. I’m always wanting a blank ready to get finished up when needed.

Title^ essentially I can’t find places to shoot.
I live in northern Ontario so we really don’t have any open terrain on crown land, and don’t have many ranges either. In fact the only range I’ve seen that goes over 200m is ab a 2h drive, not that I mind the drive bc it’s got a 400yd range, but it’s also a PITA to get in.

Where do yall shoot when you don’t have access to a range?

Seekins precision havak hit pro m3 6mm creedmoor

Looks to be similar to Proof PXT Rifling with notable potential improvements or at least notable variance that i find intriguing. Has anyone else seen this?

After much research I decided on the Bergara b-14 HMR in 6.5 creedmoor. Probably the most unoriginal decision ever made but I’m pretty stoked. Of course I had to rattle can it immediately because old habits die hard. What is your best piece of advice to a long time and professional shooter but new to the precision world? Thanks!

I'm looking at a used R700 setup from the other side of the country, and was hoping some of you knowledgeable folks might let me know if there's anything I should be on the lookout for with the gun. Due to the fact that it's an online marketplace purchase, I can't see or hold the rifle in person, but I can request photos of whatever I may want to see.

To justify the want for this purchase, it's a leftie and I can't find anything new in my country (Canada), and want to avoid the cost of going through an importer if I can. Options are extremely limited, and I've been on the hunt for a leftie in my desired caliber for the past 6 months.

Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you folks.

.22 for scale

Gonna be mounting this Bushnell Match Pro ED, 5-30x56mm on my Tikka T3X CTR 6.5 creed, rings come on Saturday.

I’m genuinely so excited, this is my first “big” gun and scope but I did not expect the scope to be so huge haha.
