Might check out if Taran Tactical can get there with their mag follower and baseplate combo. I know that in 9mm they can do 23rds with the TTI follower and TTI 4mm baseplate and still make 140mm. Sorry, I know this is 9mm info, but best I know about.

Hmm... That hasn't been my experience. The guys I shoot PRS with are super meticulous. Bullet pointing, neck turning, annealing, weight sorting, the whole nine yards. Common thought around these guys is that if you're in that weird position taking a shot, and you don't have your loads dialed you'll always wonder if if was you, or your load. Regardless though, hats off to people with skills. I am pretty decent, but I learn or re-learn where I am weak in every match :). Sometimes it's my loads, most of the time, it's just me making dumb mistakes.

This is good conversation, and I have to agree with many here that I would pick a top PRS shooter. They are self-motivated to dedicate a ton of time shooting, reloading, researching and putting in the work without getting paid for it. You know that they are dedicated to the max and doing everything they can to get the absolute edge in their performance. That's just a special breed. I will also note (good or bad) that the PRS guys are easily one of the most anal retentive, data driven, and dedicated classes of shooters out there. The barriers of entry are very steep, the learning curve is very steep, and you have to be not only a reloader, but a really, really good precision style reloader at that. You can't just get your Dillon 650 dialed in and pump out 400rds/hr. This is painstaking, meticulous and grueling at times.
