6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.
That’s with the bipod attached. It has a 4 port brake.- huntnful

Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars
I’ve never mounted for a single range when actually in the field. I used the BR4 extensively for 3 years. It never had this issue one time. It is absolutely not ideal. I agree with that 100%. The scenarios are limited that it happens in. And being aware that it has the potential to happen is... -
6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.
7-300 NMI freehand at 100 yards. Last shot broke the chain link. Too much wallop, knockdown power, umpfff, KE and ballistics combined I think 🤣.- huntnful

Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars
Wanted to make an update to this. I went back to the same range area that was giving me problems, but this time I put my binos on a tripod. No issues whatsoever with the added stability. So it's definitely just a case of excessive movement (free handing the binos), and the ballistic correction... -
Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC
Yes a bigger bullet, of the same style, makes a bigger wound. But the pictures you shared weren’t a legit comparison. One was just penciled through a gel block to make it seem worse than it is. These are apples to apples. Same test, under the same conditions. .223 makes a hell of a wound.- huntnful

Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC
This a .223 with 75gr. BTHP And a 300 PRC with 225 ELDM I’m not sure of the impact velocities, but Hornady’s website has lot of good calibrated gel testing. Very cool to look at. https://www.hornadyle.com/rifle-ammunition/#!/ Click on the actual bullet name that you’re interested in, and...- huntnful

“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention dude. I prepped two set of virgin brass with your recommendation. One set I just brushed, and the other set I brushed and used moly. They both had SIGNIFICANTLY less seating pressure. It was absolutely the oxidized anneal surface causing the... -
Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC
Thank you for the detailed explanation and your thought process man. Looks like you’re not giving up anything compared to the 300 WSM, except a lot of recoil. I appreciate the comparisons as well!! And now you just simply wouldn’t take that shot again, at that distance, at this point anyways...- huntnful

Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC
This is great info!! Gained skilled through practice AND gunning down lead to more hits and more podium placements. Since you lived it, like any long range hunter has. How would that new 25 CM compare on that missed wind call (2-3MPH maybe?) on that big buck at 800 yards in WY, and what do...- huntnful

“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
Barrel has 96 rounds down it and I see virtually zero throat cracking yet. Hard to REALLY see unless you clean it. But if there is any there, it isn’t much. Almost all rounds were shot in sequences of 10 straight also. -
Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC
I need to be super clear that NONE of my LIMITED testing was done under any time crunch whatsoever. I was just simply shooting them side by side at the same target, in the same conditions out 1000-1200 yards. A time crunch would absolutely change things I’m sure. I just don’t encounter timed...- huntnful

“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
I almost think the simplicity will work so good, I’m scared to try it 🤣🤣. Although at this point, I’m definitely convinced that 90% of a rifles accuracy is built into the rifle, before you even pull the trigger, prep a case or “develop” a load. They either shoot, or they don’t. -
Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC
I’m by no means an expert and have only done limited testing, just enough to kind of prove to myself that the practice and the support you choose to use seems more important than the cartridge. As well as a rifle that’s heavy enough to manage recoil if you want to shoot a larger cartridge. I...- huntnful

“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
Nothing yet with this charge. But in all honestly I’m running the bolt pretty good and not solely focusing on the bolt lift. I’ll take pictures of the case heads when I get home from duck hunting, and pay a little more attention to the bolt on the next trip. But nothing significant enough to me... -
“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
Hahaha excellent!!! I mean I tested that one set where I literally didn’t do anything. Put a ring on the bullet from seating it so hard into the untouched case. And it shot the best lol. -
“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
Shot 5 foulers. And then tested the different brass prep types. I don’t really like shooting at 100 yards when I’m testing things. I would have much preferred to actually do this test at 500 yards, but the winds were vicious today. Groups were shot from top to bottom at 254 yards. Top one is... -
“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
I went to the 80’s because I like ELDM’s and 1-8 twist barrels was all that was available. I also like speed, and I don’t plan to hunt big game animals with it. Just coyotes and pigs. Really appreciate that info man!! I do have the SAC creedmoor die and will more than likely go that route, or... -
“The 22 Creedmoor Project”
Yeah, if it’s consistent before, it’ll be consistent after. In my instance, all cases trimmed to match and then sized the same. The opposite is also true. Could easy do it the other way around as far as consistency is concerned. I am not trimming them to fit the chamber, if that’s what you’re... -
Scope Zero Check Thread
Excellent concept Justin! Just shot this to set initial zero on a rifle. 22 creed 20 shots. 5-10 MPH left wind.- huntnful
