    Reloading 7PRC

    Me too. Have two boxes of Precision Hunter to test and I haven’t heard good things about actual velocities. Says 3000fps on the box w/a 24” barrel. I’ll be delighted if is so I can stick with one profile. I don’t want to get into hand loading but fear I may if there are consistency issues or if...

    Reloading 7PRC

    handloands in 2 7prc w/24" benchmark #5. One barrel was slightly faster than the other and each @ 3010fps 175 eld-x ADG case one @ 68.7gr n565, the other @ 69gr both were consistent sub .5moa groups I've only shot the handloads so far and i want to see how Hornady Precision Hunter stacks...

    Go-To Clothing

    trying to shift to all American made vs those w/the big marketing budgets and typically lower quality https://americangearguide.com/american-made-directory/top-hunting-camo-clothes-brands-made-in-the-usa/ I have some from most of the brands but I've been most impressed with stuff made in the...

    Suppressor wait times

    Yeah I tried the email and I’m only 3mo in on waiting. There’s zero reason these should be so controlled. They’re hearing protection for people and wildlife. And they still make plenty of noise.

    Gunwerks 6ix+, AB Raptor Eight Stack, CGS Hyperion K, Thunder Beast Dominus

    On those testing with AB Raptors & reflex - are the reflex standard (for up to 3/4” diameter) or bull (up to 1” barrel diameter)? The standard has more volume - does it make a difference? I ask because I’m waiting on a Raptor 6 & 8 with a 2” and 4” reflex. I ordered bull reflex and I’m...

    A gun for my son

    i gave my son a 243 Ruger when he was 14 and that cheap little rifle shoots well. When he graduated HS he wanted to take attend a long range hunting school. We did that this summer and I got him a 7prc. The 243 was a perfect place to start.

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

    7prc 24” fluted barrel Zeiss LRP S3 Just need to get an elk hunt done. One slated for 2024. 10.6lbs but not a sheep gun and I wanted a little weight (9lb was target but S3 added a #). No scope, arca rail or picatinny rail it’s still ~7lbs. S With the really light guns how durable are they? I...

    Scope to Rifle Weight Ratio and Bulk

    I want to put my LRP S3 on Ozempic. 38oz. I Ike the scope a lot but the weight. It took me over 10lbs. Considering trying a Leupold Mark5 hd 3-18 to shave almost a lb - or the Tenmile (but it’s so long). It does feel a little top heavy. Or may buy a lighter weight sfp and lower mag and just...

    Hearing protection for kids

    https://www.howardleightshootingsports.com/collections/electronic-earmuffs I have these. You can turn up the sensitivity to hear much more than you otherwise would - but makes determining the direction of the sound difficult. Combine with foam earplugs for more protection.

    Spotting your shots

    you're joking but i bought suppressor for my kid to protect his hearing b/c he's from my seed and i know he'll forget earpro when hunting. they are safety devices.. and yeah, brakes are loud but even worse in any shooting house - your eyeballs rattle.

    Spotting your shots

    zoom out and work back down once you're seeing shots - I'm working on the same. Shooting a 10.5lb braked 7prc & 4-25x scope now vs. a 6.5cm suppressed 3-18x and had no issue seeing shots when positioning was right. I'm not having issue with the recoil so much as the report - the brake is...

    Q&Q Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56mm Field Eval

    I really like the turrets, locking windage, reticle and eyebox of my S3 4-25. Only dislike is the weight. It is a full pound heavier than the v6 3-18. 25x is more than I’m used to and happy around 15x and the ffp is still plenty big there

    Digiscope mounts for iPhone 15pro & Athlon Ares

    Looking for mounting options for iPhone 15pro and Ares G2 15-45 65mm spotting scope. I didn’t do the “cry once” and buy the high $ / more popular brands and wondering if anyone with the G2 Ares has a phone mount you like that works well. Will probably get used most at the range and I hope to...

    6.5 PRC or 7 PRC?

    Recoil on 7prc is moderate and more of a challenge to stay on target for a follow up shot than 6.5cm I had shot with - that’s the only thing I’ve noticed and with more work/securing it better I hope to get used to it. With the heavy Zeiss LRP S3 I’ve added a full pound and I’m 10.5lbs. More than...

    Rifle build caliber choice

    i was in the same boat and went with the 7prc.... but plenty of days i wish i would have gone w/6.5prc b/c it's short action and can do everything the 7prc can @ the ranges i shoot most often. true "do it all" the 7prc is probably the better choice if elk and larger game are on the list but...

    Suppressor wait times

    Just 1 month in on 2 AB Raptors and hopeful it’s not as long as some I’m reading. The entire process seems ridiculous for what should be considered a safety device.

    Long Term Repercussions of Sports

    sports have risks but keeps them out of trouble and situations that have much higher risks. I had to give up sports to work once HS started and regret it. while I have many aches of age from playing hard and trying to stay active and fit, I take the pain over being a spectator. I've made it so...

    AB Raptor suppressor - Reflex

    Spoke with AB. No wait to switch reflex’s so long as not shot and they’ll trade out. Can ship yourself or via dealer. Just 1 reflex per can tho. I’m going to wait till I have mine in hand and exchange for the standard….most likely.

    AB Raptor suppressor - Reflex

    i had just given so little thought to the reflex @ time of order b/c of the testing, like in the link mentioned above, was all w/o reflex when comparing to other cans. I assumed I'd just run the flush mount. since the standard will fit my barrels (7prc) I think to get the most out of the...
