    6 ARC factory ammo measurement please

    I just got off the phone with Ruger for the second time. The first time they called and I was told they shot 20 rounds of match and it was shooting fine. When I explained the concern over the throat the rep said she would get back to me. She just called and said there was no "engraving" and...

    WTS Seekins Precision PH2 7mm PRC

    That is a smart choice. I like the element length with just a little more weight. I wish they still had the 21” 6mm Creedmoor barrel.

    Lucky to be alive! Alaska Elk

    I am sitting here at my place in Alaska enjoying my coffee and looking across Clarence Straight at Etolin island. Even though its just right there and logistically easy for me no part of me wants to apply for that tag again!

    Seekins precision element groups?

    I chased my tail load developing for the Berger 156. I have a thread here somewhere. Long story short I bought a box of factory 143 ELD-X to zero my scope after removing to check everything. My first three shots were touching and 20 rounds were under an inch. If I recall .75. I went back and...

    6 ARC factory ammo measurement please

    Good question. If I had to guess it is because they are cranking out thousands of them and the reamers just wear out. For $600 I will deal with it. Customer service was awesome and I had a return label pretty much instantly. I will report back with the results.

    6 ARC factory ammo measurement please

    108 ELD-M and 103 ELD-X I think I am dealing with a short throat on my rifle.

    6 ARC factory ammo measurement please

    Can anyone out there get a measurement of the factory Hornady 6 ARC ammo? If you can get COAL and CBTO that would be great. Thank you!

    For those running the Ruger American...Velocities

    Gen-2 6 ARC 20" Starline brass and Varget 108 ELD-M 2590 105 VLD-H 2610 M ES and SDs are great but my best 10 shoot group is about 1” with about 60 rounds down the pipe. Certainly moment of deer but I am optimistic they will get better when I get over 100 rounds. I have not done any seating...

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    Leupold could give two s%^#s about the “drop test.” Maven scoffed at the drop test recently as well in an interview about the 1.2. I was at an event with both the leupold rep and the Nightforce rep when a competitor mentioned the “drop test.” They looked at each other and just laughed and...

    The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

    Mine is doing great. It has been to 3 NRL events, covered a few thousand road miles and countless range trips. Recently my rifle was shipped back to the manufacturer with the scope attached. When I got it back it was still zeroed just like i left it. I took it out today without changing a...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Hey I love dumpster fires! I can get the tone, roll out and do some hero shit and be back in the barn in 30 minutes. My recliner never cools off. Fun stuff

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    While its not required anymore, I prefer the largest reasonable caliber I can shoot well and stay in the glass for follow up shots. Sure, my 6 CM can get it done but I choose to carry my suppressed 7PRC for big game and depending on where I am a 6.5 CM or 6.5 PRC. I am probably going to try the...

    Scope rings to avoid?

    Seems like some folks do not care for Seekins rings but that is all I use from my 300 PRC on down. I think they are heavy but if there is an issue Seekins will always take care of you. They seem stout to me and I just bought another set to mount a new scope. I have not had a set of the UM rings...

    NRL hunter finding targets

    I shot my first two matches recently and I also was an RO for both of them. I absolutely sucked at locating targets. There was a wide disparity in the competitors and many struggled but the good ones just have gift as well as lots of practice. The regular competitors just had a gut feeling...

    Seekins Element 6.5 PRC or 7 PRC??

    I have both and shoot the 7 suppressed. It is pretty manageable but was snappy without the suppressor. If I have time to setup I can stay in the glass. I have no experience with the 6.5 and big game but people seem to agree here it’s plenty. I take the 7 elk hunting.
