That’s really impressive! With ELR gaining traction, I can’t think of a better caliber for that sport. The SST is the long range, short action winner.

I think the H1000 is a good way to go. I think someone else might be running it in their SST. I have annealed every load.

Yes. Long strings of fire is the norm in PRS. We are TOUGH on barrels. Like Rich said, the SST barrel is hanging as well as my 6.5x47 barrel did.

Little update on the SST. I shot the Rocky Mountain Mayhem PRS match last weekend. I started slow first day (I do that a lot, nerves I guess) but finished the day strong. At the end of the day I was in the top 30% which is great for me against that level of competition. Second day the...

I think so. The barrel is doing really well. If all the stars align, ill have about 1400 on the barrel before the end of the month. I have a National 2 day match and 2 local matches lined up.

Yeah. I’m just over 1000. I’m at about the same point as I started chasing lands on my last barrel (6.5x47L).

Second match of the season and another fourth place finish. 95 PRS points this time. I’m getting closer. The SST has been completely drama free so far. I haven’t chased the lands or adjusted the seating depth since the barrel broke in. I’m on the eighth/ninth reload on the brass and the...

I haven't been on in a while. Sorry about that. I shot the first club match of my year today. Rifle is still a winner. The SST gave me a real advantage in the wind today. It was one of those days I knew if it was a hit as soon as the trigger broke. If I could get the wobble out of my...

I shot another local match. Didn't do so well. I made a bunch of dumb mistakes. Mostly I was holding too much wind. My barrel has settled down. I'm running very consistent 3050fps with 55.3 grains of Reloader 26. My groups are still excellent. The Rocky Mountain PRS season finale is...

I've been slacking on the updates. But the bow hunt is over so back to Business. I have about 600 rounds down the barrel so far. I've sped up the whole way but the increase has slowed down a bunch. Probably need to do another test to make sure my groups are still tight but I'm sure it's...

Here's a picture of my match results from this year. I really sucked before the SST. The two scores in the 80s are SST scores. The others were my 6:5x47

I shot my second match with the SST yesterday. This little cartridge makes PRS a lot easier lol. I have 6 matches this year in the Rocky Mountain club series. The two I shot with the SST are my highest scores by a long ways. I ended up 11 out of 50 something shooters. My rifle is running...

Woot! I'm stoked for the dies to get here. I think that's the last little thing to make this rifle run. I picked up 2 Alpha SAUM magazines so I have enough magazine capacity. I had to open up the front of the magazines just a tiny bit to get good engagement with the feed ramp. I picked up a...

I shot my first match with the new SST yesterday. I still I'd some things to work out with the rifle but I wanted to see how it was going to preform. I didn't have the rifle zeroed and I didn't have a velocity with the new seating depth yet so I got there early to take care of that...

2.71" OAL. It fits in any magazine with room to spare. The brake is good. I don't notice much difference between my 6.5x47. Helps that the rifle is heavier too.
