    6GT, 25x47, or other?

    I'm also in the "6GT Slow" camp - I run a Berger 108 at 2820 - 35.5-36.0 of H4350. Typically, ES of <= 15, and SD <= 5. Groups routinely .1 mil or better. I'm nowhere near max pressure with that load. Load dev with that combo for me looked like "random charge weight, random seat depth... huh...

    ZCO doesn’t keep zero

    OP - here's the thing. If you're looking for help, ask for the help you want. Your opening post was just a "poor me" complaint. That's what drew the initial heat. Let's say I'm in your boat, and I need some help from the forum. My post looks more like this: ---- Title: Need some help with a...

    spotting misses

    The other side of that coin is - if you don't know them, you don't know if you can trust the info they're giving you, either. There are so many people who just simply don't know how to spot, or interpret what they're seeing - and those people will have you in all kinds of wrong places by...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Staccato C2 or CS

    From the tits down, maybe... From the slide stop up, they're literally the same. The different parts between any "normal" 2011 and a 1911 are: trigger, magazine release, magazine, grip panels and bushings (1911 only), or grip module, screws, and bushings (2011 only). The newer metal grip modules...

    Varget vs N140

    So, N140/N150 for Varget... N550/N555 for H4350... is N160 too slow, or...? The N5xx series powders are double base - just wondering if there's a single base powder equivalent for H4350/RL16?

    Swarovski SLC 15x56

    You can also find the previous generation of the same model for even cheaper - bought mine for $1500 a couple years ago, here on the 'hide - they have a bit more chromatic aberration vs. the current model (they changed lens coatings), but keep up just fine. Most people don't even see CA anyway.

    ATS vs ACE muzzle brake

    It's too bad they couldn't roll a Maverick into the testing mix up there in Canadia, eh. I've been running one for a full year, now, in the 5" braked config. It's definitely less recoil reduction than a Sidewinder (or, theoretically, the Hellfire Match, which seems to be roughly same as a...

    ATS vs ACE muzzle brake

    I have a nitrided A419 Sidewinder. I put it in a pickle relish jar filled with Boretech C4. That goes in the ultrasonic filled with clean water. Run for 30 minutes. Rinse in hot water. Done. Comes out clean as a whistle with effectively zero effort.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any USPSA shooters here

    I didn't keep super accurate track of round count... but I made "A" on about 20k rounds, "M" on about double that, and GM on about double that (so, 80k-ish to GM, for me, give or take), but that belies all the dry fire work, etc, between D->A/M, and just the time. And I wasn't a dry fire over...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    It could potentially be fill - IIRC, the earlier TCS stocks had Double Dead as an option, whereas current ones, it's a standard feature. But, I don't know - all I know is my gun is ass heavy. Manners says the new rail can be up to 34oz with a full weight kit - mine would be at 30.4 with the rear...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    My Vudoo wears a 20" 1.25" contour Krieger, and sits in a TCS (in fact, it's the one I have that has the latest style rail and weights we've been discussing). It doesn't have any rear weights in it, and the rear pair of rail weights are removed, as well. Even with a bipod on it, it's still tail...

    100% agreed... I'm having a straight contour barrel spun up for mine shortly for that very reason...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    Gotta be a typo - @tmanners or @RobertB could confirm. But... doing some quick math... Aluminum is about .1 lbs per cu in (1.6 oz per cu in). Stainless is about .28 lbs per cu in (4.48 oz per cu in). I measured one of mine at roughly .4 cu in (1.2x1.2x.3, and round down for the corners and...

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    Not sure the actual answer - but the A419 rail had their serrations, and those can cut bags - but who knows the real answer (other than the folks at Manners and maybe A419)

    PRS Talk Rifle weight ?

    I don't think your weights are aluminum? They're stainless steel? (or, in the earlier version of the rail, coated carbon steel of some sort). There's been three different rails - one was an aluminum rail made by A419 and used A419's brass weights. In the same generation, you could order a steel...

    6 MM GT

    There's a metric shit ton of data here, Hornady publishes data for the cartridge, etc. It's not hard to find... I mean, basically, a psuedo-random charge of Varget or H4350 with any typical 6mm competition bullet, seated at a random jump... pretty much works, almost as well as BR/BRA/Dasher 🤷‍♂️
