The 6UM

[Q_Sertorius]

I’ve often thought about this. Is there no merit to shooters practicing annually after the initial site-in?

Not as their primary trainer of course, but just pre-season etc. Say 100 rnds annually for that? (Spitball number)

Depends on how many other rifles they have and how similar they are to each other.

My two Tikkas (6.5 Cm and .223) will be very close in weight and length. They have the same scope and will have the same stock.

My yearly ammo plan/budget is something like 10k .22LR, 5k .223, and 1000 6mm-8mm center fire. I have four rifles I plan to use this hunting season and a few others in the back of the safe. If I had a magnum, I’d plan to shoot it about 100 times a year.

I heavily assume anyone shooting a 6UM has more than 1 rifle. Mostly because it's still a wildcat. Nobody picks their first rifle and shoots a wildcat . I shoot several non magnum caliber when I practice. I only shoot my magnum when im shooting an animal. has nothing to do with flinching and everything to do with cost to shoot. I'm not poor, its just economics. For every 7 prc i send downrange, I could have dropped 5-223's. The prc has great ammo data and a high end scope. Its repeatable. I have no reason to believe the prc won't operate any differently since I last shot it. 100rds down range in pre season actually has a greater chance of messing with the gun than the 10 hunting rounds per year
