    christensen arms ridgeline, I need help.

    If I had to guess I would say the ammo is the culprit. Other than that maybe a bad scope Mount or maybe the scope itself. I am more than confident Christensen will work with you. I would start with a different load in your ammo. My Christensen 6.5 PRC sub moa at 100 yrds. If I purchase another...

    Free Recoil on Light Rifle Affecting Accuracy?

    I keep a couple of fingers on top the scope for jump but I feel the answer is no with the jumping. It should be fine. I however never touch the barrel itself to hold it down so as not change the harmonics of the barrel. Just a thought. Good Muzzle break would help if you don’t have one.

    26 Nosler rebarrel which PRC?

    I do not own one but I personally believe the 7mm PRC is going to take off. It just makes good since if nothing else is because it is beltless from my understanding which makes reloads more attracted. It drops about two foot less at 1000 yrds over the 300 win PRC I think. It is a matter of time...

    christensen arms ridgeline, I need help.

    I have Christensen Arms Ridgeline 6.5 PRC that is dead nuts on with factory ammo. Hornady's, not that I like the bullet offering but is sub MOA. So I am not sure without knowing what you are shooting. Possibility it is the ammo you are shooting. I am sure Christensen will work with you.

    165 Grain SSTs on Deer Sized Game

    I haven’t much success with the SST. I feel the jacket is too thin preventing pass through shots. Prefer Nosler Partition. I haven’t used the Accubond but have purchased some Barnes TTSX LR to try.

    Need some help please

    Personally I like the new 6.5 PRC round. Great choice for elk out 500 yrds and deer size beyond. It is the big brother to the Creedmoor. Good luck

    Best Caliber Rifle Elk

    Considering the calibers your looking at I would opt for the 300 Win Mag. Ballistically speaking there is not enough justification for the 300 WSM. Ammo is higher on the WSM and is not as available. Under current world events we need to definitely consider these factors when suggesting any...

    6.8 Western or 300WSM

    Personnally I like the 6.5 PRC. The ballistics on the 300 WSM is not substantial enough to exclude the 300 Win Mag. Plus Ammo is not as widely available and cost more on the 300 WSM. I think the 6.5 PRC is here to stay and there are plenty of bullets to select from if you ever do start...

    What made you interested in long range shooting?

    I understand for sure! Ran into the same problem concerning Turkey guns (shotguns—chokes—shells) I even put up some YouTube videos and got hammered with some of the proposed distances turkeys could be humanly taken! Not that I would regularly take any at the range (60 to maybe even 80 yrds with...

    Dedicated Turkey Gun

    This area I have a lot of experience in. The new 410 Savage is good for 50 yrds with TSS # 9’s . I have heard of reports that they will take one out to 60 but I have found insufficient patterns at that distance. I have taken one out to fifty. If you want yardage and I know I will get pounded for...

    6.5 PRC or .300 PRC

    I love my Christensen Arms Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. Shooting factory Ammo 143 ELD-x grouped great! I only shot a three shot group because I thought was missing the mark. I didn’t have a spotting scope. Recoil as stated above. I wanted a round that gave me ok throat life with good down range energy...

    6.5 Prc reloading

    I don’t know if larrywillis.com sizer would assist with that issue? Just a thought. It is a collet for belted Mags like the 300 win mag. It resizes that area of the case
