"Probably ten years ago, if not longer,  the course of fire was devised by Brown Dog and WmS and a very good day we all had 

Nothing dissimilar to precision rifle shooting that is today 

 For £75 quid "

That was an excellent day and puts into perspective today's PRL cost of £100/day including rcos  and markers.

Personally I don't think PRL is 'ridiculously expensive'. With an entry fee of £200 for two days structured competition with Rco's and markers it is not cheap but neither is it 'ridiculously expensive'. There are also many costs to be covered by the organisers, time spent setting up targetry and different courses of fire, Admin, ground rent etc etc.  Before criticizing the cost have a think about what you would be willing to organise such a competition for and where you would find land suitable. By its very nature it requires a very large area which dictates it will be located in a remote area. 

Of course to participate it does incur extra cost but for me personally that's no different to driving down to bisley  or blair atholl to shoot long range, ammunition cost is broadly similar and accommodation also if I want to stop over.

People tend to look at the entry fee, multiply it by the number of entrants and assume that's all profit - it ain't. Wake up people, everything has a cost.

And by way of comparison a quick google revealed the 2020 Bushnell Brawl has an entry fee of $275....

The last link doesn't work scotch.

I have peltors with gel pads and find them fine.

That's a shame to see the damage, mother nature can be devastating at times.. Hope they get it sorted ok, time for something a little more robust.

It might help if you put what you are actually selling in the title?

Anybody shoot 6.5SLR? I like the idea of the longer neck? 

Un-trendy👍

Nice job as usual.

Spot on Baldie! 

Hopefully we can now move on with a Prime Minister in a stronger position to negotiate with the EU.

Guys, this thread is not going to descend into any form of 'Englishness' debate. Lets keep it civil and factual. Thanks.

John MH those figures are indeed food for thought. A near doubling of the Tax free allowance and the Annual Deficit cut by approximately 80%. 

Pops, the only echo chamber I can think of right now is the vacuum between the ears of Labour supporters and those that think any sort of coalition in the current circumstance is a good idea. More time would be spent with the coalition members infighting than actually resolving the issues - we've already seen the extent of dirty tricks to which individuals will resort when the democratic referendum didn't go the way they wanted. We have individuals taking out legal injunctions and getting the laws changed to prevent progress - a processes in which the voting public has no say.

Intelligent choice? Oxymoron when used in the context of voting Labour!

Their budget doesn't stack up, their policies stink and Corbyn is trying to appeal to the young and inexperienced voter as some kind of Robin Hood figure, taxing the nasty rich corporations to support the poor. The reality is as Baldie has already highlighted, if given the chance Labour will bankrupt the country once again. A Labour Government really doesn't bare thinking about.

I don't want Brexit, I don't care about the nonsensical arguments about "democracy".  It's all about the 10% in the middle - have they changed their minds?

I choose the path that is least unpleasant knowing that most of the extreme nonsense in Jezza is well under control

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Outstanding. 

Its truly amazing how some people try to justify over ruling democracy in favour of a terrosist sympathising idiot who is actually trying to sit on the fence regarding brexit and yet introduce a policy that doesn't align with EU membership.

Utterly bizarre. 

Dick Turpin not dead then.....

😁

Did you shoot the subsequent comp at Orion?

Mike .....what are you thinking of???

remember God shoots a .243

Yes he does and I also have a lot of time for the 243 and I don't believe it gives anything away to the newer hot 6's, least not any margin that I can sensibly exploit. The one issue i'm having is spotting missed shots(yes I admit I miss sometimes 😀) on what I can only describe as 'dumb' targets that give little to no splash. There is also less report for a hit at extended range wit the 6mm.

From observation the heavier 6.5 cal bullets seem to help a little in this respect. That's why i'm looking at 6.5 and from what I can see in the main from real world users the creedmoor is not offering huge velocity gains over the 47. I already share a 47 with my son but its a right hand bolt so it would seem sensible to stay with 47. Or look at the next step up in performance and cartridge size. Then I think you are entering the realms of recoil V ballistics and ability to spot fall of shot unless used in a heavier rifle which I want to avoid.

Interesting that the trend in the US seems to be a move toward 6mm though for PRS comps? 

Steve, I'll take it if it has the metal buckleson it - can't tell from the pic.

Yes, just contemplating which way to go. 

Great, thanks. Anyone else?

Thanks Gary, is that a compressed load?

Just wondering what real world velocities people are seeing with their Creedmoor reloads, particularly interested in the 130- 140gn range.
