I am in the processes of gathering load data for 77smk bthp , 77tmk and 69tmk which ever one will work on my rifle. I might probably switch to higher caliber like 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor in the near future.
One obstacle I have is that the farthest distance I could verify my loads is 200 yards.
if you have a chrono while doing load development, you really won't need to verify past 100 yards.
- 100 yard zero
- bullet BC
- muzzle velocity
everything else will be a calculation based on your ballistic software
- this isn't bench rest or F-class where you are trying to hit sub MOA paper bullseyes on a static range
- name of the game for PRS is recoil control, so you can call your shots, and adjust on the fly
yes you can true your BC if you have a longer range,
but it's not required, if you and your gear is up to it,
you should be able to true your BC after your first couple shots -
Idk about others, but I use a bipod maybe 10-15% of the time for a PRS match.
really depends on the COF.
but in general, if it’s not prone.
Bag vs. bipod is normally a toss up for me.
in the same breathe, I’ve had
an atlas, atlas copy, and a harris.
after trying the ckyepod, I sold the rest, and bought another cykepod
Will likely never use another bipod, for PRS/prone shooting.

This is the part about break in arguments that always chaps my ass.
It cleans easier than what? A duplicate blank that was made consecutively out of the same lot of steel and chambered by the same smith and then fired at exactly the same rate with the same ammo with the only difference being one was broken in and one wasn't? Because thats the only way you could really make that argument seeing as how no two barrels are alike enough to make such a definitive statement.
I don't care what you want to do with your barrels and I won't argue for or against break in. But since no one has come up with a quantifiable method of proving their theories its bothersome to see people speak with such certainty.
lol,
my thoughts as well, besides the chapped ass thing

Hey, if you guys don't want to bother, that's fine. Obviously it's your barrel and you can do whatever you want with it. But I've had quite a few high end custom bolt guns built and they've all had more copper fouling when new than when they had a few rounds through them. If you want to say that doesn't make a difference in the long run, that's your opinion, and there's probably no way to prove it difinitively one way or another. But I don't see the harm in what amounts to about 20 minutes time plus minimal cost and effort.
Just wondering what you consider "long run"?
Most guys running PRS/NRL plan on changing barrels every 1200-1800 rounds
especially the 6mm guys, which is like 80% of the field
for me, and I'm sure for others as well,
burning 5-10% of your barrel life and $100-$200 of ammo on "break-in" is hard to justify if there's no crazy advantage
now if we're talking BR or F-class shooting, then it's probably a totally different discussion
which I know nothing about,
probably don't want to either, lol -

Better for house defense gun because it won’t go through your walls and your neighbor’s walls then on down the street. LOL. Cheaper ammo, quieter, etc.
Lame for pistol matches though
this, try shooting a 223 AR at an indoor range.
223 really shines at 100-500 yards.
10-50 feet, there are better calibers, like 9mm -
unless you have a bunch of spare AR stuff and glock mags
get a gen2 MPX and be done with it
unless you’re chasing a super light gun, or want to tinker a lot
MPX is still the best out of the box in terms of reliability, ammo flexibility, and recoil impulse
-
squad with the higher ranked open guys and copy their stage plan
of course there may be some differences due to PCC having the advantage on long range, and open having the advantage for hard leans and tight spaces.but in general, there's normally only 1, maybe 2 ways to run a stage.
everything else with PCC is accuracy and how fast you can pull the trigger
-
hopefully this picks up on the west coast, since most ranges near the cities are limited to 100-200 yards

I have a NFA lower also, could you post a picture of this mod?
Not really a "mod"
more of the easiest way to fit the mags to the NFA magwellI've had maybe 2-3 malfunctions in the past 1500 rounds using this setup

Mag body problem.. And or mag catch slot, like others have said.
Atlas gunworks has great mag body tunning vid on YouTube
this
take the mag apart.
blue the entire top part of the mag with a sharpie.
insert a few times, and release.
See where the sharpie rubbed off, that's where you need to adjust with either a vise or brass hammer -
Shouldn't affect your buffer setup too much.
I run the same setup(bolt, buffer, and load) in both the ULW and the tensioned 16" barrel
-
get a 24 for Limited Major.
17L would only be good for steel challenge limited.
- anything else, the 34 is good enough, if not superior
-
I squaded with a few guys running this yesterday.
Makes me want to shoot PCC again

Yes, I saw that barrel nut on the Smoke Composites website, but the outer diameter of the nut seems smaller than the ID of the handguard so I wondered if there was another metal sleeve that mounts to the nut that in turn to the handguard. Still a bit puzzled.
found it on IG

Thank you ABQ and Rolex. I have seen pictures of the Isler mount so I think I understand it. How does the Smoke mounting system work? The barrel nut appears to be low profile. I am imagining that there must be another sleeve that mounts to the barrel nut...
from their website
https://www.smokecomposites.com/parts-and-accessorieslooks good, I hope to get one for an AR10 6.5CM build soon

give the micro pocket a try if someone local has one.
if you grip hard enough, it has a decent amount of grip IMO
more than the cheely IMO, which I also have
-
if you want more capacity, you can buy 170mm mags.
TTI base pads for 2011’s are all designed for competition(to meet the 141.25mm length maximum for limited)
thats what the chart is for

A comp won't help much, and the Taccom buffer is pretty good as far as PCC buffers go. A Blitzkrieg isn't going to magically solve your problems. Biggest thing you can do is change your load to something softer and go from there.
As far as the castle nut is concerned, stake it or get a PWS ratcheting castle nut.

agree, I ran factory ammo for my first 1k rounds of competition
night and day difference when I started reloading
PCC's are just like open guns, the load makes just as much of a difference as all your other hardware combined(bolt, buffer, barrel, etc..) -

I am always surprised how many people are not using a PCC specific trigger.
it's all about the bolt, hammer, and sear
if the back of the bolt is cut and ramped properly, it should work with most ar-15 triggers.
wouldn't blame it 100% on the trigger -
PCC allows you to game a little more and is faster pace
- shooting far targets from one box
- no reloads
I haven't tried carry optics yet,
but even the awesome carry optics shooters I've seen,
do have to dial it back a little compared to Open & PCC
probably depends on your skill set(rifle vs. pistol) as well

Good find mmlook! This seems like a great option for those looking for a smaller grip
yup these look really good,
I was just about to order a pair of SV grips, but now I may have to rethink my choices -
Limcat just released a small steel grip
-
it's also not easy to travel with an SBR

SIMPLE question on neck tension
in Precision Rifle
Posted
neck tension isn't only affected by neck ID, it's also affected by the brass hardness(how much you anneal)
