Where I shoot south of of town, it doesn't get dangerous...at least the times I have been there.
It's not stupid (They are good people), but rather ignorance...They are just getting started, and no one has taught or mentored them yet.
I wasn't shooting but spotting for Dan or Glenn...I don't...
Primarily in the 275-350 yard range.
The wind was squirrely enough, that I missed several times. We used his truck to block the wind and sun, but it also made it to where I couldn't feel the wind.
That being said, gusty winds are going to get you anyway-They got me a few times for sure.
Saturday afternoon late I was able to head out with a friend to do a little doggin with a couple of XP's.
He christened his 6.5 PRC XP-100 with his first dog, and it was fun to be there for that.
He has already killed a buck antelope with it in 2023, but this was the first prairie dog.
My...
I knew my numbers would make sense to a lot of folks here.
My 18" center-grip XP-100 in 7mm Dakota (Basically a twin to the 7mm-300WM) runs 175 grain ELD-X's at 2900 FPS.
You are running 200 fps faster than me with a 5 grain heavier bullet.
So you are basically running 250 fps faster than me if...
I do not want a 22 Nos, but good try 😇 :giggle:
I will be getting a 223AI XP-100 in about a month. I had picked up a used 17 Remington XP-100, that was supposed to be a shooter, and it was a dog.:mad:
So, to "tomato stake" land that 17 Rem barrel goes, and will get replaced with a Brux 7T...
I love the 7mm SAUM too!
Just as a heads up, the 7mm-6.5PRC is a basically a twin to the SAUM ballistically.
If, I didn't already have 7mm SAUM brass and custom dies, I would go with the 7mm PRC-W.
I was going to build a 7mm PRC in a center-grip XP, but I don't need that much horsepower, so it...
Gerry,
You are welcome.
I watched a little, then fast forwarded to see his data/numbers.
I did NOT take the time to find his elevation.
My numbers would have been more "apples to apples" if I had done so.
I like Wizmo-Gizmo gun stuff...New cartridges, and such gun related stuff.
So, I am not...
My 15" 20 BR (20 Caliber), 1-8 Twist McGowen, shoots the 55 Grain Berger @ 3173 fps
To compare it with my 22 calibers and the author of the video 22 Nosler (28" barrel) 23.6" of wind at 600 yards and 62.7" of drop @ 600.
My 15" center-grip XP-100 20 BR
10.3 MOA/ 64.7" @600 yards. 10 MPH FV...
I believe in variety, and I like to embrace many different 22 caliber centerfire cartridges: 221 Fireball AI, 223 Rem, 223 AI, 224 Valkyrie (G-2 pistol), 22-250, 22GT, and 22 Creedmoor.
My 223 Rem's, 22 GT's, and 22 Creed's are the hands down favorites though.
I expect the 223AI will be...
I think the controversial part was the guy doing the videos more than anything.
If it were me shooting a RIFLE for a PRS/NRL training rig, I would go with a fast twist 223 Remington out of convenience and simplicity, since I already have quality 223 brass and quality dies.
If someone wanted a...
That is why I am having a 7 twist Brux being spun up in a 223AI (Center-Grip XP-100)...I want to be able to hit a target past 800 yards.
I had just over 300 pieces of Lake City 223 brass given to me. Hate to see brass go to waste. Redding FL body/bushing neck with inline seating die is here...
