Long range build advice

When I'm shooting through virgin brass for my 375, I tend to ask friends to come to the range and run through a number of rounds.

One trip I was going up to a private range and a friend was coming along. So, I ended up loading 30 rounds for the 375 for load dev, and 30 virgin, thinking that my friend would go through the 30 virgin rounds. The night before, he texts me and says he has Covid. Well... shit...

- I go by myself.
- I run the 30 for load dev
- My shoulder is going
- My cheek is feeling it
- I run the first 10 virgin rounds
- My shoulder hurts
- My cheek hurts
- By the last 10, I'm aiming at the target, pulling my head away from the cheek riser and scope, and wincing as my shoulder takes the hit

EDIT: As an aside, I can shoot my 300 PRC all day, and while my shoulder may feel it afterward, it never "hurts"
Everyone is different.
I needed to form brass for my 375 so I took it to shoot prairie dogs, shot 100 rounds in no time and wished I had more. LOL that was fun.

Rifle Scopes Zco 2-10 experiences? Please post here.

is it aimpoint bright?


It's not Aimpoint bright, but 2-10's are not meant to be. Many people will run a red dot at 12:00 for closer targets. :)

Questions about SCAR 20s

Scarburator is a great option. Another is to tune with gas jets. I personally do both. The system is incredibly easy to tune and rewarding once set properly. I spent most of my time working suppressed before the low back pressure can was a big deal like it is today making the tuning so important.

I currently have mine set for either a Thunderbeast Dominus or Ultra 5. I have several Scar 20s in both 6.5 and 308. Great platform once you put in the work.
