    PRS Talk My Solution to Prize Table Bias

    With my semi-recent move back to the lower 48, it put me in a place where I have been fortunate to shoot at more competitions. So far I have hit one, one day PRS club series match, one PRS 2 day Match, 1x Mammoth Sniper challenge, and 1x Team charity challenge (1 day). On top of that I have...

    US SOCOM looking into 6.5/260

    I really wonder who told you that. Because I am failing to see how 260 would erode less than 6.5 creedmoor. More powder capacity for the same given diameter and bullet weight. I don’t think there is enough of a difference that a completely different powder would drastically alter the wear...

    US SOCOM looking into 6.5/260

    Agreed on all. I haven’t had to plan any live fire ranges with the A1, but I have heard from peers that it can make it more difficult because of the expanded SDZ’s. Guess I will see once I am back in the real Army in a few months instead of school house stuff. The EPR in a 6.5 would be...

    US SOCOM looking into 6.5/260

    You are correct, EPR as in something similar to M855A1. With more room in the magazine, it gives designed more options. I am not smart on full bullet construction, so I can ‘t comment on AP accuracy potential. Now in terms of the 855A1 stuff, it does run at a higher pressure than 855, which...

    US SOCOM looking into 6.5/260

    Makes sense. It will be interesting to see if it branches out beyond SOCOM, and part two, if they end up developing an EPR type round for the 6.5, and the specs on it.

    New guy here AK

    If you haven’t already, hit up the Bowman Arms shop. They host long range events (mainly in the summer) that go out to a mile. Hopefully there will be one before you PCS. There is also a PRS style event this weekend down closer to anchorage. They are leaving dark and early (0315) to get...

    Would be awesome to get a chance to get a return M110

    Some are/were better taken care of others. The ones back in KAC’s possession would probably be the ones that got coded out for various reasons. Simple things like a cracked but stock could be easily fixed then sold to the collectors market. Or they might re-build them and send them back out...

    PRS Talk Tripod Setup for PRS

    Like Rob said, if it is your first match, don’t worry about it. I don’t have one yet (other items are higher priority), but the best part is getting to see what other people run at the matches. At the AI match, RRS even sponsored a stage where you had to use a tripod...shucks, I had to use...

    Mammoth Challenge AAR

    To be honest, these are events unique in themselves as is. There is no reason or need to shoe-horn politics into such an event. The greatest value of the training at this event also has nothing to do with shooting, because these events really have shooting as a side attraction. Mutual...

    Mammoth Challenge AAR

    Looks like a pretty good set up. Being confident in your rifle is the most important. Having too light of a rifle, or one you don’t practice with won’t help, so I think you are headed in the right direction. With Grunt Style now running the competition, the categories might switch around a...

    Mammoth Challenge AAR

    It fell into my lap, and I was in the right place at the right time. It sure hurt (knee problems really), but I am an Infantry guy, so walking in the woods is pretty normal to me. This was much more fun because everyone wants to be there so it is a great environment. There are a ton more of...

    Suppressor = Filthy failing AR-15

    Ensure you have enough lubricant on your rifle. I rarely clean my SBR at less than 800 rounds. I am running an LMT 10.5” and a Surefire pre-socom can (lots of back pressure), and have gone in excess of 1500 rounds before cleanings. Have you possibly used Froglube? That gets gummy and tends...

    Rifle Scopes Quick Disconect SPUHR Scope Mount

    I was lucky enough to talk to Spuhr at the Mile High Booth at SHOT this year. When I asked about when he suggested using the QD versus the standard mount I was a bit shocked. He said run the QD if you are taking it on and off one rifle, because the tightening of the lever will always be the...

    MR2000 , 185 Jugs in .308

    Thanks for the feedback. Did you record your velocities for the different temps? And how was your SD’s in relation (ie if there was a total 20fps difference, buy your SD is 15, it makes it more difficult to find more concrete answers).

    Feedback on MagnetoSpeed T1000?

    I have enjoyed them as an RO at PRS matches as well as a shooter. They hold up well, even when you put a bullet through the reflector it continues to emit light towards you that is easily visible. One stage I RO’ed had it on a diamond around the 400yd mark, with all 10 shots by every...

    MR2000 , 185 Jugs in .308

    How does 2000MR do with temperature changes (temp sensitivity)? I am loading up for a match down here in Georgia, but the match is in Wyoming and will be 20-60 degrees colder.

    Rifle Scopes S&B PM II 5-25 vs. NF ATACR 7-35

    I have been lucky to borrow a friends S&B 5-25 with a Horus in it for the last few months as he re-works his 338. By far, it is an outstanding optic. His does not have the MTC or LT’s. After playing with NF, Vortex, Kahles, USO, S&B, and more at SHOT, I think I will end up with the 7-35 based...

    Rifle for sniper challenge

    Shot Mammoth while lugging around an AI AT in 308. The rifle was fantastic for shooting at 19 LBS with glass/can. My ruck weight, with 160rds of ammo, food, and gear was near 55lbs (with rifle). I have the outdoor equipment that is lighter (ice climbing, another very expensive hobby), so...

    Clem, GA Bi-Monthly PRS Suppressor Only Match

    Thanks for posting this, I will be signing up for the March match and coming up from the Columbus/Ft Benning area. One day matches are a ton of fun, and quiet guns always make it better!
