    7PRC/7mm rem over 300 prc

    Thank you for adding some information here. I've not considered the thought of reducing recoil by reducing a powder charge or a variable as such. I want the most accurate "safe" load I can find. Recoil can be reduced by brakes, tuners, suppressors, extended padding on the stock, etc. By the...

    7PRC/7mm rem over 300 prc

    I built a custom 300 PRC last year and have close to 200 through it at various distances. The darn thing shoots so well it's hard to think about making a switch. What I did was built another rifle (currently awaiting barrel return from chambering services) in 7mm PRC. The only advantage I see...

    New Leica Geovid pro AB+

    glad y’all are posting these reports - I need glass and can’t seem to determine the best glass and tech combo. Maybe that’s gonna be vector x or revic Acura?!

    New Leica Geovid pro AB+

    AFAIK the standard 10x42 Geovid Pro model is the same as the new AB+ however with only AB lite/ultralite. It can be upgraded to the AB+ for $150.

    Tips for Leveling Your Scope

    I've gotten used to using a plumb line and won't use anything else. There can't be anything more accurate than setting a scope level with a plumb line. Sort of similar to the card thing, but it's using gravity.

    Question as to inconsistent OAL on loads

    Scrap the COAL and replace with CBTO. Get a bullet comparator and set seating depth with that. Bullets are pretty much all different slightly in length, especially tipped bullets. If you’re resizing properly and setting neck tension, you should be in 1 a 1.5 thousands of each round. I use...

    300 PRC load data suggestions

    Only light extractor marks for me, with no real pressure issues. The primers look good. I did chrono this load at avg fps = 2801fps. Since this is a 22" and I'm suppressed, that's slowing them down some. This chrono was with the suppressor as it will be shot that way primarily. Now to...

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    Yep. Results posted. No tags here. When are points awarded? I applied for elk and pronghorn, both unsuccessful. So should be getting a point for each species, correct?

    Proof 300 PRC CBTO to lands

    Update: case was once fired, but apparently I didn’t have my sizing die set just right. I did this again today, remeasuring to lands. I got a slightly longer measurement of 3.030”. However after running additional testing I was not able to get a round to chamber at 2.999” or at 2.80”. Went...

    Recommend me a NM Outfitter

    I will also vote for Chris Guikema at Compass West Outfitters. Haven't hunted with him yet, but once I grab a tag, that's who I'll use. Anytime I talk to Chris it just feels "right".

    Proof 300 PRC CBTO to lands

    I just measured 2.960" CBTO on a Proof 22" 300 PRC (prefit for Defiance Anti). Hornady PH 212 ELD-X measures 2.930" CBTO, running .030 off the lands of this rifle. The PH 212 ELD-X did group very well and so did my handloads at the same CBTO (2.930"). I will go back and do a proper load...

    Hornady ELDM pressure

    I ran two boxes of the PH 212 ELD-x on initial sight and break-in. Bolt lift a bit sticky about half way though the second box. Seemed a bit spicy. I only had extractor marks, primers seemed to be OK with no real signs of being over max. I'm now running 78.0g Retumbo in virgin Lapua brass...

    Help pick Cerakote for custom rifle build
