Good thread. Here’s the birthplace of this Forum which started as 6mmbr.com. Winchester Canyon Gun Club in Santa Barbara. Beautiful spot, but sadly they closed our 600 yard range. For that distance I went to nearby Ojai Valley Gun Club.
This is where I first shot my Savage with an aftermarket PacNor barrel, chambered in 6mmBR. The first measured group out of the gun with that barrel measured 4 shots in 0.168”. That completely changed my whole perceptions of rifle accuracy, and inspired me to start this Forum.
Prior to the PacNor barrel, the gun with factory .260 Rem barrel shot about 0.8 MOA, but with lots of unexplained flyers. I wasted a season and a half with the factory barrel, trying seven or eight different powders and a host of different bullets. Everything changed with the new barrel and the new chambering.
I can say this, ALL my best barrels, which have included a Brux and a Krieger, have shot in the ones (for 3 shots) immediately. I started about .006” - .008“ past first touch, into the lands, then worked up til I saw pressure, then backed off .3 grains.
I’ve been lucky — virtually no barrel break-in was required with 6BR, 6BRDX, and 6BRA. I use very conservative cleaning methods.

More of a picture of the barricade, after a fresh coat of powder and a new pig, than the entire range. This was a couple days prior to the 2 day match at Pigg River Precision in Rocky Mount, VA. It's a great place with targets from 300- 1205 yds.
The thousand yard Range in Ridgway, Pennsylvania. I shoot the 1000 yard silhouette course here.
My view from Williamsport. I remember as a teenager reading an article in outdoor life magazine about this place. Little did I know that later in life, I would actually get to shoot there. Truly a fulfillment of a childhood dream.
Noise complaint?
Some more to see. https://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/lets-see-your-range.4062416/

I wonder how many of us don’t use benches and rests etc.
