    CA 6.5PRC Pressure Signs- Am I gonna die?

    A really good cleaning resolved the issue, but only for about 40 rounds with a suppressor. It seemed the chamber was tight enough that the carbon buildup quickly made it tight enough to show some pressure signs. Interestingly, switching to ELDX seems to have completely resolved the issue...

    Which manufacturer can we put some pressure on?

    That’s a great idea. I emailed them also.

    Are Rangefinders Actually Needed?

    Your maximum point blank range (MPBR) is the furthest you can shoot without introducing adjustment into your point of aim for bullet drop. (Basically the farthest you can just point right at a target and shoot.) For most common calibers/rifles this will be around 250 yards depending on some...

    Taking pictures through spotting scope

    My spotter is an older Vortex Viper. I wanted a Magview but they didn’t have one that fit my spotter model. Went with the cheap “Magnetic Universal Digiscoping Adapter” from Amazon for $28.99. Honestly it works great. After mastering how to make a good connection quickly, I have gotten some...

    Use of pyramid tents in rainy environments

    Have used a TiGoat 4 man tipi pretty extensively. Works great with the stove, but sucks in wet conditions without one. Weathered a pretty intense blizzard in Wyoming in it without the stove, and it was like it was raining inside the tent.

    Mounting options for VX3 HD 4.5-14 x 50mm on Tikka T3X Superlite

    On a 50mm objective (NF), UM 30mm Low rings get you around 1/4" of clearance on a T3x Lite. Very happy with those and will use again.

    Anyone running one of these on an AR? How’s the back pressure?

    7prc vs 6mm creedmoor

    I have found 6.5 PRC suppressed to be very manageable, but if you are overcoming a flinch the smaller caliber might help you get there faster. Another consideration: I cut a tikka 6.5 Creedmoor to 18”, and still have velocity for ELDX performance past 500 yards. If you just want a 500 yard elk...

    7prc vs 6mm creedmoor

    Are you already running a suppressor? Because that makes a world of difference.

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    Got it! I was struggling because the PRC’s shoot so flat that you need a variable adjuster. My creedmoor can just add 0.6 MILs to the base number and it works from 200-600, but the PRC’s need an adjuster that starts small and increases with distance. But obviously has to be easy to remember...

    The Phenomenon Of Guns or Scopes Shooting Loose

    I cut my teeth racing off road motorcycles. EVERYTHING with threads gets loctite. (MuleyFever, if you use blue loctite it does not require heat to remove. Just extra torque to remove once it sets up.) Stuff still came loose until I paired it with a good torque wrench.

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    Thanks for all the responses. Bbob, I agree it works well from 500-900. But it's the adjustment inside 500 that I'm hoping to use this for (mostly). Also I agree on 4DOF. Sometimes it seems to spit out squirrely answers. Macintosh, I have 500+ figured out on my rifle, but I can't seem to get...

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    2860 fps and .623 BC. (Shooting the ELDX now.) I can make an adjustment work nicely for 500-900 yards, but most hunting happens inside 500. I’m new to MRAD, but it seems like the value of this could legitimately justify building a slower rifle? My 6.5 creedmoor works beautifully with this...

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    Bumping the thread. I can’t seem to make this method line up with 6.5 PRC. Am I missing something?

    Has anyone reached out to Maven for a timeline on the next run of 1.2’s?

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    After a day of practicing random yardages, I can come up with my dial out to 600 using the +0.6 adjustment in just a couple seconds. I tried to come up with an adjustment to make it work with my buddy’s 6.5 PRC. An adjustment of +0.6 MRAD fits nicely for 500-900 yds, but most hunting is...

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    Thanks. This stuff is gold. Now every ten yards will correlate to 0.1 MILs, which makes staying on moving animals way easier. A couple weeks ago I was dialed on some animals in the 450-510 yard range, and every time they moved, I had to go back to the dope sheet to recalculate in MOA. It all...

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    Adjusting to a 200yd zero puts me less than 0.2 MRAD off, out to 600. I’d prefer to use a 100 yd zero, but going with 200 isn’t a big deal. Form, your +0.6 adjustment brings it within 0.1 out to 550, but requires more mental math under pressure. It’s easy math, but still tough in the moment...

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    As an aside, I did figure out that 6MPH full value wind gives the easy calculation for distance. Thats pretty wild to see all the numbers line up on the chart!

    MILs Quick Calculation Does Not Line Up?

    Thanks for all the quick responses. Adjusted meters to yards, closer but not on yet. 550 yards: 4.23 MRAD 378 yards: 2.28 MRAD
