[QUOTE="lesvoth, post: 2871655, member: 100864"] As has been said - He's not all wrong - I got involved in the long range/PRS game in 2016, twisting myself into a pretzel in my reloading space, then straightening myself back out again. I actually shot an honest .200 group with my first comp gun, a semi custom 6.5 Creed. (It was a trued Remington SA w/a 27.5" Krieger, a custom trigger, and five X fired triple-prepped-massaged Hornady brass.) Last year, after shooting a 6 Creed for a number of years, I switched to "The Easy Button" 6mmBR. There wasn't one itota of interest left in my bones for tuning, tweaking, etc. Blue box Lapua brass, yellow box 105 hybrids, Varget - 30 grains, and a 450. Jerk the barrel if it's already on, use your fingers to determine "stick point" with a loaded-long case, load close, but not into the lands - go shoot until your barrel dies. That load shoots perfectly in my three BRs, and I've had it - that load - out to 1107 yards - on purpose. All three were cut with the same reamer. A week ago I took a 6mmBR rifle (Bartlein 27.5" HV 8 twist) that hadn't been cleaned for 500 rounds, leftover ammo that was loaded last summer, and shot a 194 3X at 600 yards in the first F-Class match of my life. The next two strings were 187 & 184 with factory Lapua ammo that was running 181 FPS slower than last year's handloads. The only brass prep I've ever done with the 6mmBR was to size new cases with a Micron Precision FL bushing die and trim them to the same length - whatever that is. There was a mention of sponsorship . . . It's not what most folks think. I worked with one of the companies that people solicited sponsorships from. If you're lucky you get a slight discount - if you're sponsored. It ain't freebies galore. As for Cortina? He might wear the jersey, but I'd take his real world income over a discount sponsorship any day! That man works for his component money! And anyone who wins the World F-Class Championship, and is willing to share his knowledge, might be worth listening to . . .
