13" barrel or 14" barrel?

Understood. If a ballistic turret is your preferred way of skinning the cat for distance, I would get a scope where you can have a true ballistic turret. That way, you dial any distance you desire. I set up all of my rigs with 100 yard zeroes, but some prefer a 200 yard zero.

Excellent Shot JD!!!

Dialing... This is my most recent video. 5" targets. I just dialed for distance. I had good conditions, so I just held off a little the further I went out. In this vid you will see me dialing for elev and for wind.

Can you dial for distance with the scope on your 6.5 PRC (Swaro Z6 3.5x18.)? I am not a big fan of ballistic reticles, although that is how I got started with shooting and hunting at distance. There are faster and better ways in my opinion. I would prefer to dial either MOA or MIL for distance...

There is a handful of guys here who play at distance and compete (Different disciplines) at distance, who will chime in soon. 600 and 1000 yard Benchrest and F-Class. PRS NRL Long Range Steel matches. I am an odd-duck, since I use specialty pistols the majority of the time. I do own rifles and I...

I would start with the 6.5 PRC, as it sounds like it is your lightest weight rig, and it shoots good. My 14", 15", 15.75", 16", 17" and 18" specialty pistols will shoot just as good as rifles will. Longer Barrel Lengths, do NOT mean more accurate. Your DO get more velocity from a longer barrel...

You do not need a high magnification scope (20x-30X) to shoot good at distance. Nothing wrong with having the magnification, but most guys use too much magnification when hunting, and even when shooting at distance at multiple targets at different distances under time. When you up the power you...

I edited (Added more things) to my first response

For 700 yards max on big game, everything listed is plenty fine! Don't worry about a 20" 6.5 PRC, it is more than capable as well. Even a 18" 6.5 PRC with factory 143 ELD-X's still give me a impact velocity of 2000 feet per second at 700 yards...Plenty of velocity for any bullet to do it's job...

Darrell is a good friend, who also makes good products, and is a good teacher

Ultradot is really good kit!

With longer eye relief comes smaller field of view/FOV. With longer eye relief it is also more difficult to find your sight picture, compared to a rifle scope. I use rifle scopes with the majority of my bolt action specialty pistols. I also use thermal rifle scopes on my SP's. This is my...

You will actually have a smaller field of view with a long eye relief pistol scope

Congrats! Make sure your can is rated for the shorter barrel lengths. Optic you plan to use? Thermal or traditional scope? Peterson brass, H4350 with the 80's will work. 2.580 OAL. CCI or Fed Primer. 16" barrel 3154 fps Look at the rifle data, and go with that. My two 22 Creed pistols have a...

YIPPEE!

A week ago Friday we finished setting up steel for WY-SHOT. Our specialty pistol shooters will be engaging steel from about 175 yards, to out past 1450 yards :) That was not a typo. After Dan and I moved a couple of targets that were hard to see, we set-up the longest one. We went back to where...

First times are great-Congratulations!

Thanks @NYDAN !
