Not sure if it was ultimate reloaded or 6mmbr that did an articule on what the pros use using the dasher, but that was years go and my question is with new equipment coming out almost daily has anything changed in terms of bullets brass primers powder etc…??? I mean to ask what’s been winning??

What The Pros Use: Precision Rifle Calibers & Cartridges
Welcome to “What The Pros Use” 2024 Edition! I surveyed the top-ranked shooters in the Precision Ri...
Here is a 2024 update.
PRS or benchrest ? two totally different accuracy reqirements
We all want as accurate as we can get, but what I find odd about the diff between PRS and LRBR is the speeds we shoot. Most PRS guys I talk to are in the 2700 - 2800 FPS area, while most BR guys shoot in that 2940 to 3070 fps range.
I don't get it.
same for BR if you want to shoot fast but minimizing flight time by running the higher node will show up on paper, If I can improve my group agg by .010" I'll burn that barrel in 1K rounds
Shooting 10-15 rounds off props in 90 seconds is why the recoil reduction is needed in PRS/NRL.
So....why not shoot a 6 BR.
Some do.
I won't call any of them nerds. I have shot exactly ONE PRS match and got my ass kicked....mostly because I am a physical wreck, but, them boys can shoooooot!!!
easy feeding from a magazine is also a necessary requirement and. 6BR doesn’t always do that

I don’t know what barrel lengths are favored in either sport, but that could be a portion of the velocity difference.
This is why prs is such a nonesense from a target shooting standpoint. It’s less about shooting than it is about kneeling, running and looking cool.
I've shot a few PRS matches and never did any running and doubt I looked cool.....
The matches must be different where you're at I guess the ones I've attended your shooting better be on point or you'll be looking clueless instead of cool.

I've shot maybe 10 or so PMS matches.
I'm not very good at it because I never practice that discipline. I'm 70 years old and can keep up with most of the younger guys. But,, I do it just for fun occasionally. Some have some really silly props. I admire the skill of the top guys, as previously mentioned, they can shoot!

Spoken like someone who has never shot a PRS match. There is a good deal of accuracy needed in the sport. Not about looking cool but being able to move and shoot accurately from multiple positions in a short period of time. I have been shooting the sport for 21 years.
I'd call it a shooting sport rather than "target shooting." I have shot a few and never noticed anyone trying to "look cool," just some excellent shooters who can get into position very quickly, dial for various distances, make a quick wind call, and make incredible shots at breakneck speed. Too hard at my age so I gave it up and moved to F-class. You may want to try it and show those guys how it's done!
