Actually I think it was 3/4.That’s with 1/2” right?
I also noticed a bit of a difference from my last test, the first round of handloads I only neck sized the once fired brass and had quite a few that the bolt wouldn't close on. This time I full length sized my brass and had zero issues, but it did change my groups a bit.
But all in all not too shabby for a bone stock RPR.
What the heck is that? Mistyped 4350?H 4395
My load testing is about complete. Settled on Hornady ELD 140gr match, 42.0 gr H 4350 and hornady brass.
My last test was setting distance off the lands. Tested .020", .015", .010", .005", and JT.
The test was all 5 shot groups. Two groups at each jump measurement.
Being pleased with the results the next step is increasing the range out from 100 yds. Start with 200 yds and go from there.

It's been quite a while since I read (somewhere around here) that one could make those mags work by filing/grinding of a piece of the mag at the back that keeps the bolt from moving forward when empty. I didn't do this myself as I simply bought a single stack MP mag that allowed the bolt to close when empty.
Is the 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC RPR’s new or am I just a day late and a dollar short?
I got this email today and this is another option besides the Bob Sled or doing it yourself: https://mkmachining.com/product/aics-sa-single-shot-sled/?mc_cid=5ee8c2249a&mc_eid=0525b62772My friend wants to use his RPR in F Class competition, and the rule is that you can only load one round at a time and not from a magazine. He says the bolt on his RPR locks back when the mag is empty. Is there a way to make the RPR work for F Class?

No problem with managing recoil with the 6.5 creedmoor. Very mild.

I would agree, my son generally shoots the Ruger PR, which he has done since he was age 14.
I'm sure your surgeon will be night and day difference regarding bolt lock/bolt lift.My friend and I shared his rpr at a match this weekend. It was our first time using the RPR in match conditions where you have to advance and lock down the bolt only after getting your crosshairs on the target. We both noticed that locking down the bolt threw us off target. I know I actually lost the target several times and had to find it again. We had already cycled the bolt a thousand times which did smooth out the advance of the bolt, but did not seem loosen up the bolt rotation at all. Is this issue something that we just have to live with or is there anything to be done? I have a rifle on order that has a surgeon action. Should I expect the same issue with that one?
Would cerakoting the bolt smooth out the bolt lock and lift?
I just put an A2 flash hider onThe 223 gen 2s that I bought came with thread protectors in the box. I replaced the brakes with those thread protectors. If you bought it new I think it was supposed to be in the box.
The manual calls it a muzzle cap. On the shopruger.com site they are called thread protectors. The spec sheet for the current 6mm Creedmoor RPR says it is a 5/8-24 thread.
The factory keymod isnt really that bad. I have a Seekins SP3R handguard with MLOK but I wouldnt have minded keeping the keymod. It works just as well.
What kind of wrench are you guys using to remove your factory muzzle break? All my wrenches are either too wide to fit on the nut, or not big enough.

Put some tape around the nut to minimize marring.Crescent wrench + philipshead screwdriver
Might be the nicest example I've seen yet. Well done.Just got my RPR project done. 6 creed proof CF barrel, seekins rail, seekins stock, timney, stripper camo, and did bolt in Cerakote elite which did smooth it up. Was a fun project now moving on lol. The strippers can keep u distracted in between strings!

I have been toying with trying a rifle in 300prc, excited to see how the new prc rifles shoot. Likely they will be like all the other RPRs and shoot great. Glad to see someone paying attention to the details as well like the Arca Swiss rail integrated in the hand guard.
I need some of you super smart dudes to help me with a problem. Recently I purchased a RPR in .338 Lapua. When I opened the box I noticed that Ruger had shipped it with two 300 Win mags, this problem has since been rectified. So while waiting for the new magazines to ship I put the rifle together and wanted to ensure that the bolt would lock up so I hand fed a American Eagle 250 grain soft point round. it seemed to lock up fine. after I tried it a couple of times I ejected the bullet but suddenly my bolt became extremely hard to close. Ive tried to trouble shoot the problem to no avail. It ran smooth prior to and during my bullet test. Im not sure what happened but would greatly appreciate any advice you all have. I'm hoping it is something simple, I dont really want to ship a rifle back without shooting one round.

So I’m thinking about getting an RPR. In .308 what kind of shot groups are you guys getting?
Have any of you 6.5 RPR guys made a 1 mile shot with the factory barrel and factory ammo?
