    My luck continues

    Hmm, probably stay with the brake then. Would like to run my 6.5 prc suppressed though, and my son's 6.5 Creed.

    My luck continues

    Lance, I shoot at your range. Are early morning temps OK right now? Also, I have a braked 300PRC and want to know if going to suppressed added a lot of recoil. Braked I’m fine, but don’t want any more recoil than I have right now. Thx!

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    My father has a pre-64 Model 70 featherweight in 30-06. Loads up maximum speed/pressure 180s. After about 5-6 shots off the bench I'm done. Not pleasant to shoot at all. Prints nice groups for the first 3 shots, then that skinny barrel gets red hot and the shots wander. No matter, the first...

    Powder , primers and bullits shortage

    Agreed. If there is none, then the profit in my example is void. My assertion is that there is some, and it gets "trickled" out in such a fashion as to keep the inventory super low, and maximize profit on each sale. Hey, I could be completely wrong here and someone may call BS on my theory...

    Powder , primers and bullits shortage

    We should get used to this. As many have noted, supply/demand will set the price. The problem is that many of you are assuming that the manufacturers are wanting to work at 100% capacity and crank out as many primers as possible. Really? Why would they do that? As an example: If I own ABC primer...

    Solo Shooting Day

    Lance, Good looking collection of rifles. I definitely have some gun envy! I'm new to shooting out here in AZ and don't have a spot. Been to Ben Avery a couple times but man is it crowded. Would love to know if the private range you are a member of is accepting new members or if I can get on a...

    Do you remember the first centerfire rifle you fired and do you reload for that caliber today?

    Remington Model 788 in 6mm. Age 12. The LOP was a little long for me, but I made it work. The gun was a shooter right from the start, and I remember the pride I felt (and the pride on my Dad's face) when a few weeks later I popped my first woodchuck with that gun. Had a Redfield 2-7x scope and I...

    Look what i found today

    I'm in Phoenix, can't find any of those around here. I may have to try and work a deal with you, although I'm not sure where you are in "southern Arizona".

    Starting to Plan My First Custom Rifle

    You might want to reach out to Ryan Pierce. He is building a 300PRC for me right now with very similar components, and the total weight without scope is right at 8lbs. He also has quite a few builds "in the white", ready to go and put together, so time to get one may be fairly short by custom...
