[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 8909, member: 13"] Thanks guys. Even though I know it is true sometimes you just want to hear it again. I'm trying to decide which specialty handgun to use for the International Tactical Rifleman's Championship. My 7.82 Patriot XP-100 MV is 2785 with a 180 gr. SGK (15.75 inch barrel). The other XP in the running is a 1-8 twist 6.5-284 which has a 17 inch barrel. This barrel hasn't been broke-in yet, but I am fairly convinced that I can push a higher BC bullet faster in the 6.5 than I can in my thirty cal. This competition is about making hits, not performance on an animal, so it all comes down to what is going to beat the conditions the best. I will be looking for good loads for the 6.5-284 in the near future. Your input would be appreciated. My distances will vary from 300-1,000 yards on different sized steel targets shooting from primarily the prone position. So any ideas on a good portable field rest for a center-grip XP-100 (H-S Stock) would be recieved with gratitude. Ernie [ 01-17-2004: Message edited by: xphunter ] [/QUOTE]
