6BR in a 700 short action

Have your tried stripping the weight and balancing the gun, what muzzle brake are you running? And what kinda of bag are you using?

Also try stripping all the weight and balancing the rifle 4 inches in front of the recoil lug.

I prefer my rifle to be on the heavy heavy side with most of my weight out front. Because I'm still shooting a 6.5, I have real trouble spotting my impacts(and misses!) Inside 500 yards. I've been putting in alot of practice in this department and the heavier I can get my rifle, the better its getting for me. And because I'm running a KRG chassis, they don't exactly weigh very much. I have lead stuffed in every nook and crevis of that thing with weight kits bolted on the outside. I'm at a real crossroads here. If the supply deal doesn't change soon, I'm going to have to stick with the creedmoor just because I can't get retooled and stocked up on supplied to load for a BR class cartridge.

Tubb break.

Current PRS rifles are on average 20 to 30 pounds now.

Current PRS rifles are on average 20 to 30 pounds now.

Hence why I want the heaviest barrel I can get.

I can cut you a straight but it won't be $235.

Your thinking weight equals stability which is only good, if the weight is distributed correctly to balance on the bag you currently run.

Buillding a position and getting your frist round on target in an efficient time will improve your scores.

But it also sounds like your need to take a class. You should be able to spot your impacts inside of 500 yards with a 6.5mm

Also listen to RiflesOnly podcast they have good podcast on competition wind strategy, which will also help you.

And I'm guessing the PRS doesn't stand for Practical rifle shooting?

Look at the 6 GT. They'll feed from Mag Pul AICS mags.

I have both 6bra and 6xc prefits in stock for $235 if you want to give it a go.

This is definitely a good alternative.

I can place my rifle over a traditional PRS 2x4 barricade or even a tank trap post with a game changer, run it up against my barricade stop and the rifle will balance itself. I can walk away from it and it will stay put. ( I've moved weight around to achieve this) I've got the rifle balanced well but my new barrel( no matter what the caliber) will be much heavier than my current barrel.

If the rifle is balance and you cant see your impacts at 500 your not square behind the rifle. More weight isn't going to help this.

Use the kraft target challenge to see where your at baseline. This will help you to ID areas of improvement

We are moving my to lathes to the new shop this weekend. One of the lads will be set up to Contour. So we could chamber 1 in a straight Contour. Custom-made barrels are not going to be the same $235 they will probably be something closer to 400 but we haven't actually set pricing yet we're still trying to figure out our
