PRS Talk 22br for PRS

Obviously it's conjecture but the comparison of time may have some relevancy. Like you mentioned, Jake seems to be able to tell the difference between 100fps, I have know what to prove it or disprove it. It's similar to hearing Christian Yelich say that the baseball looks like a beachball coming at him the year he won MVP. The human brain can do some crazy shit, especially once it's been trained to do those things.


Try shooting those 110 Atips in a 10 twist barrel and you'll have yourself some knuckleballs flying from your GT lol

How about a Franklin Armory Reformation with 0-twist straight cut rifling :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Honest question, how consistent is a 22 cal barrel shooting near 3100 fps over a 3 day weekend?

And how many shots at a typical 2-day PRS match are at 1200 yards?

Aren't most targets in the 4-700 yard range, where a slower bullet with more trace would be more adventageous?
That's what a tuner is for bro.

You can retune your rifle before every stage for peak precision.

Bye bye inconsistencies.

If the RO can’t see the impact/plate move cause your shooting a teeny bullet should you still get the points you argued?

This is not pointed at anyone here, Iv just seen it happen.
 
In today's matches, there are typically no less than 5-7 shooters on glass during any particular stage. If an RO doesn't see it, but the guys that are seasoned shooters can (b/c they know what to look for), they'll call the impact and the shooter should most certainly get the point. The other shooters are the competitors of the guy shooting the stage. They aren't going to give anyone hits they didn't earn.
This also goes into my rant of self ROing squads, but ill save that for the appropriate thread.

The matches I shoot at regularly are self RO’d and regularly have multiple people on glass. It still happens. Not saying that anyone is right or wrong, don’t really care all that much, just saying Iv seen it. I myself have had a hard time seeing impacts of 22cal bullets on some targets with a 60x swaro spotter.

Oh it is definitely harder to see shit from a 22cal bullet at any real distance. I get that. But people's ability to spot are not created equal. I'm not even the best at it.

I definitely have a lot of work to do when it comes to becoming better at spotting. Just sharing what Iv seen. I shoot the same place I believe that a few others in this thread do, where if you don’t hit the target, you really can’t tell what the hell happened. Atmospherics, and weight of the plate have both played roles at distance, where sometimes it’s hard to even see the splash and movement created by a 6br. Unfortunately squads are not always filled with top shooters, and at times not everyone is able to spot ideally due to prop position in relation to the target. At 750+ on a heavy big target already grey from the day, in some haze or mirage, without a magneto marker, 22 cal bullets just disappear.

For this reason, even for a club level match as a mid pack shooter, I wouldn’t choose a 22 cal. Unknown brings question, question sometimes brings arguing and arguing most of the time leaves the individual looking like a jackass. I see it as bringing the right tool for the job.

I agree with above that if if the RO, and or squad mates spotter can’t call your impact, points should not be awarded.

To quote our MD: "If you're shooting 223 and the RO/Spotters can't spot your hits, [out at the 1k yd targets] you should consider a different caliber"
