I just had two trust approvals inside 4 weeks wait time. Individual approvals are measured in single-digit days. I would say you can hunt suppressed this fall if you wanted :)
I voted for all 3 because I see them all as good options with the background given.
If hunting strictly solo, Id opt for either of the creedmoors. If a youll have someone to spot, no sweat taking the prc. Sorry, not much help ha!
ETA: if you don't use the 7prc for elk, I wonder why I'd own...

Can't beat the price. They aren't that hard to find if you are looking. AirgunsofArizona gets them in stock the most reliably from what ive seen
For a noncompetition guy Im happy with
Single stage press
Handprimer
Chargemaster lite
Frankford trimmer/prepper
Basic hornady dies
Comparators and cheap tumbler
It's all I have and I want for nothing. Only shoot 500-1000 rnds a year
Digital scale/trickler was the first, best upgrade. Next...
If 40gr has pressure, your setup is beyond internet-stranger-help and requires more troubleshooting than you posted you were willing to do.
No. It is not always even ballpark. Put the initial pressure tests with virgin brass out of your mind and look at your most recent set of data--you have...
In no particular order
What do you lose by just loading and chronoing 40gr h4350 and sending it for hunting season?
Finding pressure with virgin brass is a waste of time--will give misleading results
0.5gr is nothing to back a charge off of. It's 1% of the load
100+ shots on a suppressor with...
had a coworker bring up how FFP sucks because you cant see it at low power, so he prefers SFP scopes.
He went home and looked closer at his scope only to find out it he was using FFP all along
Not once did you mention reticle plumbness relative the bore as being your worry. But if that is your worry, I'd just like to say that is a largely overblown issue
0.5° cant error with a 2" height over bore zeroed at 100 yards is a windage error of 0.017" per 100 yards.
So if you have a...
No, it's a fact. You just match the reticle to the level, just like all other level products work. Feel free to explain how your bubble level was defective to the point where you couldnt make the reticle match it.
Literally nothing you have said is an indication that any "problem" has been...
How did you physically place the ring on the precise proffesional machine your neighbor has?
(We'll just ignore the fact that you can still do #2 completely unhindered here)
