Bump…

I have not shot any official PRS or NRL hunter matches yet, but I can say that having a DBM even just for my local long range competitions makes a big difference. What bipod were you running and which bipod are you thinking about switching to?

For sale: Hornady 6.5-284 Norma Full Size Match Grade Bushing Die with Short Action Customs .292 bushing. Used for less than 50 rounds on new brass. Paypal friends and family preferred, but I can also do venmo or money order. Asking $50 shipped.

Rem Varmint. Updated original posting, thank you.

For sale: Remington 700 SA HS Precision Stock BDL with Rem Varmint barrel inlet and palm swell that was taken off of a Remington 5R rifle. Stock has a couple wear marks from bipod use as well as from a cheek pad that was on it which do not impede function. Includes HS Precision stock forend...

@prcwv those are very nice velocities out of a 18inch barrel. Which barrel, twist rate, and action are you using?

Good deal. If they were a shorter length I’d be having a conversation with my wife. Good luck with sale.

If it helps, my 7mm Bartlein CFW #4 barrel chambered in 7mm PRC at 20.75” is about 43oz.

I see potentially two primary variables at play that may be giving you some issues and causing the results on target: 1. Hornady and lapua brass have different case thicknesses/alloy make up which makes the internal case capacity vary between the two brands. This can cause differing pressure...

Welcome @original_jbond. Just a quick clarification that these 10 rounds were shot with lapua brass that was x3 fired? If that is correct, how many firings were on the brass when you did the initial load work up with H1000 and the 140gr VLDH?

Hello and welcome, from another Western Sloper. I am actually a little further east of the Cameo range but haven’t gotten a chance to go out there yet. That being said, I have heard from quite a few people that it is an excellent range.
