The last time I used a suppressor was a over a half century ago and it was free. It is a reduced load but is absolutely adequate too beyond 1000yds. I have used this load exclusively with the exception of substituting a less expensive bullet. The first load I tried I knew was more accurate than I am. Mine has been extremely easy to load for. I got it sighted in and about the third shot on target I knew it wasn't going anywhere. I made what I considered a good buy and figured that if I wasn't enamored, I'd sell it. 338LM I was a year or three older than you are. There is really minimal difference between "I shoot PRS just because I want to" and "I shoot a. If that is the case, then you should be shooting your duty rifle or a duplicate of same. If the predicate for buying a 6mm is to shoot PRS, you probably have no justification unless a precision rifle is part of your job description.

Now they've come out with the 300 PRC and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get. So I decided that maybe I'd get one this summer. I shot just under a 2" group with the first time, and fell in love with it. Wow! I don't think it kicked as bad as my CM. I wasn't even going to shoot it but recoil didn't look bad at all. A buddy bought an RPR in 338 so we went out to sight it in and see what it would do. I'm getting pretty recoil sensitive the older I get.

You're talking about two extremely different rifles and you're not going to get one that does both with any sense of authority. 28 caliber bullets with streamlined bodies, high ballistic coefficient and specially designed noses that are typically hollowpoints to aid in flight. Stopping big dangerous game is a job for a bullet with a blunt nose/wide meplat and a lot of weight.ġ000+ yard marksmanship is a job for. It also will be a double-rifle of some sort rather than a bolt action, to avoid a terrible situation where a frantic attempt at extraction/ejection leaves the case rim torn and the cartridge still in the chamber. sitting there and counting 400 or more clicks of a quarter-minute scope turret to go from a 100 yard zero to a 1200 yard zero?Ī quick defensive-use rifle for dangerous game will typically not have a scope at all on it.
