    Are match barrels worth it for a “new to precision” shooter?

    With the cz457s it's a crap shoot. I shoot ARA 50 and the number of guys there that have bought and sold 3 or 4 rifles looking for one thats a absolute hammer is insane. The MTR seems to be a little better than the varmint and has a better stock. If it has to stay stock I say go match. If not...

    Shank length necessary to set back the chamber/throat of 6mm Creedmoor after burning out the barrel?

    Not worth it. I did it to a 6 creed, turned it into a 6gt. Cut 3" of chamber end off. Shot great for 500 rounds. Then it died over the next 250. So 750 rounds total. Remember, even the parts that don't look hammered have seen every bullet to. Seems to break down way faster the second time. And...

    Need advice on the best bolt action with best scope.

    Best for PRS is differnt than NRL or hunting or just about anything else. A PRS rifle makes a pretty awkward work rifle. This is a troll post correct?

    Need advice on the best bolt action with best scope.

    Best how? What is the qualification to be best?

    More fun with 308 Win

    Just going off memory here but I believe a impact has a .940 tennon length and a .948 headspace. 0.150 bolt nose recess. So .330 minus .158 equals 0.172" of case in the physical chamber. Does that math check out for actual gun smiths? I believe most actions with a "3 rings of steel" recessed...

    More fun with 308 Win

    How many firing you get on the hybrid cases? Have you had difficulty with them tearing up the actual chamber from the steel on steel contact? I've been known to push the high nodes in my F T/R rifles from time to time. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Cases lasted about 4 firings. Lapua SRP...

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    Obviously wrong. You can't have fun. It must be miserable. That's why we work all those hours and spend the time shooting. To be miserable and not enjoy it. The idea of a 6mm anything for elr is kind of silly, but if that's what you got why not push the limits and do what you want? Learn on...

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    Not having to run mags with a kit or special mags made it easy for me. Plus box ammo in a pinch shoots well. I can have (and do) multiple short action barrels for my impact and not have to have hundreds of dollars in mags that I can't use for say, 308, 6.5 creed, 6gt, what ever. My mags tuned...

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    I shoot a 6gt and love it. I did have to tune the mags more than I expected from the initial reports. My favorite thing about it is 33.3 grains of varget pushes a 109 ELD 2915fps and shoots in the .3s for 10 shot groups. Hornaday brass seems to be doing well after 4 reloading and is cheap.

    tacom structured barrel

    I understand the ballistics of the bullets hitting the same point of aim. That's not the engineering of a structured barrel. And if it was something to do with harmonics I would need to see how that works like with the above slow motion camera. Cause I would think a straight 1.2" tube would have...

    tacom structured barrel

    What is the engineering that makes differnt loads at differnt velocities with differnt BC shoot to the same point of aim? Explain that voodoo to me.
