Centerfire rifles - your path
Gotta go hit vs miss under time from various positions, or you start essentially shooting groups and get all neurotic like the benchies. (Any benchrest shooters, love you, but the last 10% that's required to win in your game gets lost in the noise for most field shooting). I know a picky MT... -

Centerfire rifles - your path
I've had a few factory Tikka 223 barrels, and while they shoot decent I haven't had one to write home about with ELD's either. Maybe 1.1" - 1.3" 10 shot groups, not bad but I am spoiled by better combinations on average. Have a brand spankin' new one to test out here shortly, if it'll do... -

The Devil's Lettuce
Will that help with the outrage? It's hard to contain myself. Get's a little too much attention in town. I like to keep a low profile.- Carl

I'm outraged. I'm going to go burn my $50 waders.- Carl

Centerfire rifles - your path
Despite my extensive list of stuff I've HAD, I essentially have two hunting rifles, two competition rifles (for two different styles of competition), and two training rifles. I think there's 43 barrel's/rifle's on my list, but I only have six actions in service and one action salted away. I've... -

Centerfire rifles - your path
Eh...it's more appealing now that you can get ADG brass, but I can't imagine it ever being my first pitch for anything if I'm building one Super classy list, I can in no way hang with the class. That sounds similar to how I thought in & around college. What are you changing up about the... -

Centerfire rifles - your path
I've had good luck with the Proof prefits, and they're decent values too. All of mine are steel but I've shot a pile of the carbon's and not seen a real dog. Are you taking that 25 to Seth's match next month? -

What bolt guns get the nod from you these days? -

Centerfire rifles - your path
I know multiple people who use that combo without issue, but it's a valid question I can't answer with personal experience as I don't shoot 88's at warp speed currently. I would expect the 95 to penetrate better myself, if that's your primary criteria and the world mostly stops at 350 yds, I... -

Centerfire rifles - your path
I'd have to be going 22 Creed and 88's. Nothing wrong with the 243/95 but there's free performance IMO. H4350 and 109 ELD's will be my first pitch, would also consider trying out 103's or 108's, and H1000, but if the first few combo's don't impress I probably won't have much patience. -

Centerfire rifles - your path
I’ve dabbled around the firearm world plenty in my life, but centerfire bolt guns have been my focus for decades, they’re just what I’m most interested in. I’m relaxing on a Sunday, and @brockel's post about his chamberings inspired me to see if I could recall all the rifles & barrels I've... -

Milk jug challenge.
I don't observe any precision or point of impact shifts with my rifles as they heat up, and I heat them up plenty. Shot a regular PRS 1 day match yesterday with a hunting rifle wearing a PVA Osprey 2b contour, a decent barrel but still a button rifled barrel. 10 shot strings in 2 minutes, they... -

Milk jug challenge.
I haven't used milk jugs in years as I've got too much access to pretty nice ranges with good steel target options, but I'm in favor of any realistic field practice/competition. Steel is logistically easier for regular competition, but milk jugs do have a few advantages. They're essentially... -

Hornady 7 PRC a Lie?
It isn't my wheelhouse, but I'd guess the availability of Lapua brass is easily enough for that crowd to choose the PRC case over the SAUM. The 284 Win and it's wildcats have been pretty popular at the top of that game, which has a very similar capacity to the 6.5 PRC case. I wonder if they're...- Carl

Hornady 7 PRC a Lie?
That's correct. It's gained plenty of popularity in F Class. I can see the appeal. More case capacity isn't always a good thing.- Carl
