6.5RB

6.5 CM, this will be first time out for this gun. Have loads worked up for testing. I don't even have it on paper.
Remington 5R with trigger tech trigger, Defensive Edge break, Leupold Mark 4 tatictal 4.5 X 14.
I know it's hot but I gotta go shoot.

7-08 home built Salvage. Spun a Proof Research stainless barrel on and an Area 409 Sidewinder. Home modified Accustock, EGW 20, and a SS 5-20. Still the factory trigger I hate. No loads developed as of yet. I did get as far as priming brass though if that counts. Need a cheek riser. It’s not comfortable, I may just use an old towel. Who knows.

6.5 Swede

I will be in west texas unfortunately so I cannot make it. Appreciate you doing this Senior. One day the schedule will line up.

Didn’t Kyle Ricky Bobby some a couple of years ago that took him out of a match? Oh yeah, that was scale issues, wink wink nod.

Plus I want to have Chad make my ammo for the match so I can beat him with his ammo.

Kidding guys, I’m so far behind loading and four year’s out of practice I may show up with a box core-loks.

Lol I did something similar on the first match when it was single elmination. In my normal procrastination fashion I waited to load my rounds the night before the match. Only have 7 bullets.... Ran to Academy the next morning and they actually had the 143 ELDx factory loads. So I grabbed two boxes and headed to the range. Didn't check zero with new ammo, just laid down and shot it. I was first by the way. Think I snuck one hit in and my day was done LOL.

I just got my 308 back a couple weeks ago from the gunsmith. The fresh coat paint/cerakote is definitely going to make it faster and more accurate. At least that what I learned during my car days.

Trying to decide whether I shoot my standard load of 178 eld @ 2650 fps or this really cool load I just tested of 155vld @ 2940 fps. I think I might go the vld route for fun.

I would go the 178 for wind. If it’s accurate and known it could make the difference. Of course if you’re in for fun like me then Hail Mary the 155s. Not that much different at 500.

I got to get to the range before the match to make sure my dial matches my load.

4" plate at 500 yards is TINY

Alot of shooting is still very hypothetical for me but...according to strelok and the basic inputs I have, it says there is only about 0.06mil difference at 500 yards in 10mph cross wind. All I ever do is just shoot groups at a range so this is one of the few opportunities for me put theory to the test. Besides, 2940 fps in a 308 just seems awesome to me.

I have sent you a PM if you are wanting to shoot we have had a cancellation . if not let me know so I can go to the next person

any restrictions on type of rifle shot?

Just a bi-pod and rear bag?

Senior, I have to bail out. I won't be able to make it. I have had something come up I will need to attend with my son.



I would be proud to be beat with my own ammo (which has happened a few times). But you would need to have your big boy britches on for the match to make that happen!

I assure you that was in jest. It has been almost 5 years since I’ve done any serious shooting. I just hope to not embarrass myself too much.
