Well, Silencer Co. received my Scythe yesterday before noon, and I just got a Fed Ex notification that it is on its way back home. Very Impressed to say the least!!!

I'll keep you posted. They just got it.

UPDATE: I ended up going with the 7 PRC again. I really enjoyed everything it had to offer and how it felt to shoot. I used another 22" Bartlein Carbon 1:8.5 twist barrel with a Scythe-TI on it. Within the first 50 rounds I had this load for the 175 ABLR with RL26. Thats 4 Shots. The ES...

I have ran several VX5 on hunting rifles (they have always treated me well), a Mark 5 on heavy hunting/range toy, and 2 NX8 on two different hunting rifles. In my opinion, the Mark 5 and the NX8 are a fairly big step up from the VX5. Optical quality is better, the turrets are better, and I...

I find the AI stuff absolutely fascinating, and borderline scary. But, please be careful as I have a few experiences where it has made up information. I'm a farmer for a living and parts of our farm are regulated by the state Department of Enviromental Quality that restricts fertility...

Thats pretty impressive! I wonder how much I'll have to back off of that to accommodate the suppressor.

The 265gr ABLR out of my 338 Rum sure lets them know they've been hit. That is my primary elk rifle, and a 6.5 SAUM with a 156 VLD is my primary deer rifle. I just wanted something in the middle with a suppressor. I'll most likely use this 7 more than either of the other two, but if the...

Thanks Guy. It quickly turned into one of my favorite rifles. I shot it a lot and took it on a few hunts. It packed really nicely, was a joy to shoot, and I never felt under gunned.

Thanks for that capacity data. That gives me a bit of perspective and I've always kind of liked having something a little different. I'll do some reading this evening and see if I can figure a reamer configuration out. Isn't that pretty dang cool. It's really amazing how far bullet technology...

My old PRC had the Unknown Munitions +P throat in it and was also a 22" barrel. I'm not expecting to get the same speed out of a normal 7 PRC. I was running the 180 VLD at 2940 and the 175 ABLR at 2960. I hunt anywhere from 700' to 8,000'.

I think were tracking along the same line of thought. I shoot all the time at the range on the farm out to 1,200. In reality though, I don't think I've ever shot a big game animal over 700, and I can count on one hand the number of animals I've taken over 600. At this point how far I'm...

I took a long look at the 7 Mashburn! I know a few guys that really like them as well. I looked at going that route as well! Left 28N, Center 300 PRC, Right 7PRC. I thought it looked really close to the 28N but I couldn't find much info about it on the web. I kind of really like the idea of...

I've had both a 28N and a 7PRC. The 7PRC was a lighter rifle with a 22" tube and was running a suppressor on it. The 28N was really heavy and no fun to pack around in the woods. I've now shot out the 7PRC and am literally losing sleep at night trying to figure out if I go back to a 22" 7 PRC, or...

I have had exceptional luck with RL26 in my 24" 280 AI with the 168 ABLR. If I remember right, it's running about 2940 fps.

I did an accidental experiment with this a few weeks ago. I had a good load for my 22CM pushing a 77gr TMK with a BR2. I loaded up 50 more and accidentally used a 210M. I had developed a load that consistently would do a 5 shot .5-.7 MOA group with a bit larger velocity SD than I wanted, but it...

Thats not a bad thought. I certainly wasn't bashing Berger, I shoot a lot of their bullets. It was more of just trying to see if anyone else had ever seen anything like that with any bullet. I hadn't.

Yeah, I'm still scratching my head on this as well. There's a first for everything, I guess.

There weren't any holes in the paper or the board that were not perfectly round, and I didn't see the grey clouds either. It shoots the 105 and 108 vld very well. It's not a lack of twist issue. I made it to town this weekend and happened to find a box of 87gr Vmax and figured they would be...

I've had fantastic luck with both of the calibers running RL26. The 6.5 was running a 143 ELDX, and the 270 WSM was running a 140 AB.

I started out at 3000 fps and ended up at 3134. I haven't tried it without the can because it shot the 108 really well with the can. Thanks, Jim. It is a notably shorter bullet. If the bullets are touching the lands, I'm less than a half a bullet diameter of bullet shank into the neck. I almost...
