What would you run?

[LRRPF52]

The way the line is split up its in 2 sections. The 500+ 300 and 385 + 200. Each section has 5 positions each so in total there should be 10 shooters at the line at a time. No run and gun... no spotter also so self spot. This is where I think creedmoor will suffer vs grendel. I will miss, and so will everyone else there is no question to it. It's a matter of how to recover the data from the miss and I think maintaining sight picture to impact is key. With a small target and high magnification spotting the miss might be difficult if the rifle jumps at all, and the more powder available, the more likely it is to occur.

That 107 load is exactly what I'm looking for. I have the components in some abundance and not scared of a load that is a little hot. I have spare barrels and bolts counting on something to break eventually.

Also inspecting targets does not require walking out to them, we drive out in our cars with the line clear. Nobody wants to walk 1km then go shoot for fun. We keep it pretty relaxed

I don’t think there is enough difference between the 107gr SMK and 105gr to matter if they both shoot.

Your approach for being able to maintain sight picture will absolutely give you an advantage over the 6.5 Creedmoor, which is why so many people shoot 103-108gr 6mm in PRS.

The milder the rifle behavior, the better. You want point & click, not “BANG and what happened?”.

I would prefer an FFP reticle with Mil or MOA hashes for reference for that though, with a tree reticle. Gives you reference points for your impact registers and real-time POI feedback vs guessing the abyss.
