Here's my most recent update. I figured i'd try a faster 6.5; 6.5 Super LR. For years, i'd been shooting my beloved 6.5x47 running 130 and 140's in the 2730 to 2800 range. Recoil is "tolerable" to see impacts/misses. With the 6.5 Super LR, I was able to get the 140 ELD-M running at 2944. Very accurate but too much recoil. I just could't catch my impacts/misses on targets closer than 800 yds. That far out, I could get my optics back on the target in time to mostly see POI. Likely going to sell the Carbon Proof barrel and 400 pc of brass then move to a 22 or 6mm/6.5x47. With the new, longer, high BC bullets I hope to still be competitive. Keeping velocity below 3200, PRS max velocity allowed, will hopefully help with barrel life. I've talked to several competitors who shoot the big 22 and they are not complaining about their barrel life.
