My new PRS build

[Punkur67]

Just put my new PRS gun together. This is my second one. I learned alot with my first setup. I am very happy with this setup.

-Zues terminus action with QC barrel setup
-6cm prefit Bartlein Heavy Varmint 400MODBB barrel for matches
-6.5cm prefit Benchmark Heavy Palma barrel for training
- Triggertech diamond trigger
- MPA BA comp chassis with full weight kit
- ZCO 5-27 scope

First round of load development went good. I am going to run another batch around 42.0-42.2 but i am happy with the velocities and SDs in this range

pls comment on your choice of 6.5, and did you consider a 6mm cartridge?

Impressive.
Good to see someone who chrons all his shots during load development. I was impressed with that low 5 FPS ES at 41.8 grains.

Q: What software are you using for this load analysis? Who created that spreadsheet-style data tracker. (It would be nice to add group size value for each load.)

PS: I thought I recognized that range. Then I saw "Pala" in the location field. Great place to shoot. Been there, done that.

That's a solid rig, what's the weight?

Awesome rifle. What program are you using for data management? How do you like that ZCO?

Looks similar to the one the 6.5 Guys developed. Can find that one here:

I have a 6.5cm and 6cm barrels so I can switch quickly with the quickly change system. I am running 140 hybrids in the 6.5 barrel and 115 DTACS in the 6cm

Where does the rifle balance for you?

This fat girl weighs in at 24#s on the dot empty. A little heavier than I was hoping for but it's balanced exactly where I want it. I may shave weight on both ends to drop it a little lower but going to run it like this for the next match

The 65 guys program. See above for the link. I love the ZCO. I made the mistake of getting behind one at a match. After that I had to get one. Now I want to replace all my glass with them, that is if I ever win the lottery

It balances about 3" in front of the mag well

I got a comp contour on the way for my MPA so I just wanted to make sure it was still good.

I am on running the rear monopod weight and the enhanced bagrider the light version.

My 6cm is a 26" heavy varmint. I have the same rear weight configuration you are going to do. Monopod weight and light enhanced bag rider.

I also have 6 gray ops external weights and the MPA internal weight kit out front.

If I decide to lighten it up I will most likely pull the monopod weight and as many external weights as it takes to balance it correctly

 

[eric32]

I didn't opt for the internal weights or external just yet. I want to use the weights to balance the rifle. I always felt 18 to 19ish pounds was good when it balance out

Get a .308 barrel for practice. Will last longer and make you work harder on positions so when you are at a match with the 6mm it will feel easier.

I actually have a 308 build that just needs another chassis that is sitting in the safe.

Well that will be a good practice rifle then. Good to have the 6.5 Creed option too for either a match or practice.

That's why I did it as my second barrel. I like the idea of having a backup caliber for matches too
