Squeezed a little practice in while test firing today! This barrel was used to test the carbon fiber wrapped in match settings. Boy did it perform well! Time to get another one put on and get ready for this years match season!

We’ve got 3 18” 6.5 PRCs here that are headed to their new home! A few buddies decided it was time to up their rifle game and they made some great choices! These will be hitting the hills hard in the years to come!

I had a few questions about why i cleaned my barrel after the story i posted the other day. For context i posted a 2.2” group at 600 yds and had the rifle completely torn apart 30 minutes later.

Although i am happy with that group size i know the rifle will shoot that same group size with 10 rounds since the last cleaning. I use longer round strings without cleaning to show me whether a barrel is shot out or not. When barrels are reaching the end of their life, they will shoot very well directly after cleaning and then open up after you get 50-100+ rounds on them. I have had this bite me in the butt in the past at matches. One rifle was not shooting particularly well so i cleaned it. I was unsure how many rounds i had shot previously so i assumed that was the issue. After cleaning it shot 2 5 shot groups in the .2-.3” range before the match started. Half way through the day at the match i started to miss targets due to unexplainable shots. This got worse as the day went on. When i got home i shot the rifle at 100 yards and it shot a 1.3” 5 shot group. I cleaned it and it went right back to .2-.3”.

While cleaning it also gives you an opportunity to get rid of any carbon rings, clean any dirt from inside the chamber and clean the back of the action lugs.

Keep an eye on your barrel and learn what it needs! Every barrel will be a little different. Some need 20 rounds to get back to shooting well, others need 1! Some will shoot well with 500 rounds through them, others cant go over 200. Thats what makes all of this precision rifle shooting fun!

This weekends NRL Hunter Match at Cameo allowed me to do a little testing and see how well shooters are actually performing. We all hear guys talk about their one hole rifle but is that really the case. We also wanted to see the distance from the center of the group to their aiming point to see how well shooters are actually zeroing their rifles before matches.

This match had 6 shooters who have taken home trophies from 2 day NRL Matches and a ton of other shooters who are always in that top 10-20 range!

Take a look at this data and lets hear what you think!

When firing a new rifle i like to shoot 4-5 shots without touching the scope. While doing this i am watching each shot to see when it starts grouping fairly decent. Once 3 shots print a good group we make a scope adjustment and shoot 3 more shots. Some rifles tighten up after the first shot, and some take 10-15 shots. Quality barrels and a good straight chamber make life easy!
