    Turns out I really love precision rifle. A few people have been really kind over the last year to loan or let me try items so I could sort preferences, save my pennies & now its time to own - plus a few necessities to be ready for regular comps season. Apologies for the lack of visual aids:

    Burris - XTRIII/SCR2
    Burris - race dial turret
    Burris - tactical rings

    140gr 6.5 creedmoor ammo
    - & more 6.5...

    H4350
    CCI 220 LR primers

    Armageddon Gear - pint-sized game changer

    Fehu Outdoors - brass bag

    WYCO PRL - annual membership

    Couple items from 5.11 (they actually put functional pockets on women's tactical clothing)

    Custom Vtac wall - from Tim K.

    Fix-it-sticks (precision field kit)

    It seems like the 140gr 6.5 is what people are liking, I assume for targets. Are the 123gr a no go?

    Im very happy with the 140gr -ELDm for my purposes & in my rifle, out to 1300-ish yds. I haven't tried the 123gr so I wouldn't know from experience but from everything Ive read, any advantages gained at closer range would likely be negated once I stretch out those distances & especially in certain environmental conditions. At some point, Id be curious to have a look first hand, build a profile, compare/contrast & form my own opinion to the percieved/observed differences over the published data. If I were to hunt game instead/in addition to lr competition, there'd probably be more incentive to experiment on my part but for what I do now, 140s work well.

    Yeah I look for stuff in the 160gr range. I just came across three boxes of the 123gr projectiles the other day, but my friends all passed and wanted the 140gr ELDm instead. Just curious.

    I run the 140's, as it's what performs best in my 6.5 .

    Not sure at long distance but the 123gr are stupid accurate in the RAP at 100. Wish I had taken a picture.

    It won't matter to most of grown ups here, but for high school kids, it can forever traumatize them.

    January was an expensive month. Got the RMR on it the other day. This is the smoothest shooting handgun I've ever shot.
