Load Development For PRS | 6GT 112gr Barnes Match Burner

[@JohnThomas-gj2zg]

Thanks for sharing your work that you do to make the rifles that you build and I think you are doing a great job doing it.....

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Learning precision together , thanks Kenny that was awesome. I think that most people watching this video learned a heap. Cheers and keep those beers 🍻 🍺 nice and cold in that oppressive Arizona heat.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Thanks brother! Definitely envy your cooler weather lol

[@singleshot2218]

Wow! Lots of very finite detail! Take care and stay safe! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@sjohnson1776]

As they say, the numbers don't lie. Nice work Kenny! I have a Savage 12 (1:9) in .223 that LOVES 69 gr SMK sitting on 24 gr H335. I'm sending the bolt back to Savage today to fix a VERY annoying fail to eject issue that does affect the way I shoot (break cheek on nearly every single shot and dig around in the chamber to get the empty out) which affects results. That thing is a hammer though. Love that aspect! Once the ejection is fixed I'm going to sell it one way or another. It will not single feed without without effort and that doesn''t work for me. I know...first world problem, right? LOL

[@michaeldunn150]

Great video Kenny..... thanks for sharing the knowledge!!

[@rvoykin]

Great real world data appreciate getting right to the point and showing your results and load data! M

[@tonygslc801]

Man i love the 6GT I've been reading a bunch on this cartridge. Lots of PRS Shooters seem to like this cartridge too 🇺🇲👉🏼💨 Thanks for your video and knowledge on the GT Kenny 👊😎🇺🇲

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Great info sir! Thanks.

[@CRBW]

Kenney, Great information. I would love to get my hands on one of those FX Crony's! I have a very accomplished F-Class shooter who tests bullets a lot. He says the 112 does not like to go over 2850 fps and your testing is showing that to be true.

[@garyhogue204]

Speed kills, I find the lower speeds group better in both the 6 creed and 6 arc. I've only banged factory loads thru my 6 GT. I'm looking forward to starting to load for the GT. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of your findings. And taking the time to explain more on the kestrel. Great video. G

[@kevinpopoff7181]

Awesome dude! Hope your doing good buddy!

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Kevin! Yeah man doing well. Give me a call sometime brother

[@Mkkboi]

Thanks for the footage and tips!

[@timsmith5837]

Great info, thank you

[@bnicedanicest6288]

I have a Kestrel 4dof I like but any wind meter is limited when you can see 3 different mirages between you and the target 🎯the 4dof model doesn’t have a MV truing feature but what Hornady calls axial form factor instead thx for the video

[@jamespollard1670]

My range is only 130 yards , but fun to watch you reach out there .

[@Mr.Killswitch]

Wind + a Tripod= fun but frustrating skill building time!

[@johntrieschmann1227]

Kenny, in the video you stated that you have a Kesteral X. Since that is the newest unit out I am assuming that it has the lasrest software, but maybe not. Kestrel latest software upgrade for the 5700 Elite and Sportman has added the tall target test. Software update 1.49 has what Kesteral calls "How to calibrate sight scale factor using Kestrel. Since you stated that you can't do that in your Kesteral X, I am assuming that you do not have that lastest software update install. I install the lastest in my 5700 Ruger model and I now have the cal program in my 5700. Hope this helps, like your videos expressly the one on the 6mm ACR.

[@michaelbutler4961]

Thanks for sharing.

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

🍻🍻👍👍

[@ledeni012]

Kenney, can you explain the purpose of the flower-shaped target? Isn't a circle better? BTW, when choosing a load, many people don't consider that the potential of a round at 100 yards and at 500 or 700 yards can be very different. 👍 P. S. What a rifle... Less recoil than .22LR!

[@chazt4863]

Great analysis, much appreciated! What app are you using to get your target shot data? Thanks

[@ARPatriot1776Official]

😎👍

Opinions on the falkor action

[@johndees967]

Kenny!.. fantastic content.. great on camera delivery... thank you for not adding that godawful bloody racket some content creators describe as music. I want to hear the commenter's views, not some demented asshole savaging a guitar.. and i want to heat the gunshot and the ring of steel!!... music enough for me. Best content and info BY FAR!!! You and Xring.. superlative work!!!

[@johntownley9885]

So which 6mm do you like best, 6GT, 6 ARC, 6 Creed or one of the others? Out to 1000 yd I think the ARC does ok but past that maybe need a little more power? Kenny, thank you as always for great content.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

105,109,110,112 bullet going 2850+ will result in the same elevation and wind holds regardless of what 6mm Cartridge you've picked. Consider availability of brass, components, and your time, which will help you choose the cartridge that fits you. I personally like being able to get factory ammo at local gun shops in case Im not able to reload or it gets lost in the mail. At least I can still compete

[@johntownley9885]

@@EagleEyeShooting Thank you sir for the response and I agree I like being able to buy factory ammo even though I’ve been reloading for decades. Plus the factory match ammo that we have available to us now is really good.

[@cmoslof]

A newer firmware on the kestrel does allow a scope tracking error to be used.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Very interesting, can you share where this feature is? Mine are updated

[@cmoslof]

@EagleEyeShooting if you google "kestrel sight scale factor" the first link explains what is new in firmware version 1.49 and that explains how to use it

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Outstanding! Hey thanks for bringing this up. This will help many big kudos

[@cmoslof]

@@EagleEyeShooting happy to help. Thanks for the videos.

[@aceprater5397]

Excellent video! Do you think BC calculated using known bullet drop and muzzle vel delta from 100yds to 600yds an acceptable way to calculate BC on the cheap? I did that with my 6ARC load development a while back. To get velocities at 600yds I just hid the old cheap chrono behind the sighing plate at the 600yd berm. Then shot just over that and got trued speeds. Using that I adjusted BC instead of velocity to get better data for longer distances. All that with no kestrel, just Sterlock Pro. I shoot MOA fixed scopes because I see targets in inches and am usually shooting at known distances. I just got a box of 1k Starline 6ARC brass. Gonna make piles this weekend! LeverEvolution and 105VLDs!

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Just got in my box of 6mm ARC brass today. Converted it and shot some of my 22 DPC with awesome results. As for your technique, you still need to calculate its BC and do not know of the fomula using velocities as BC=section density ÷ i (dimensional shape profile)

[@aceprater5397]

@@EagleEyeShooting sweet. Basically another way to say it: If you know your drops and speeds at a certain known yardages, I would I would use that to calculate for BC and trust it more than what the box says. Keep pushing the envelope of accuracy!

[@robkosack8875]

How much jump were you giving the 112’s?

[@tymarkham3931]

To get those sd's, are you running the brass? Throw a mandro, or just full sizing die?

[@chrisfisher3900]

Kenny how you like the zeiss? Will soon be picking one up

[@EagleEyeShooting]

We're a dealer for them. They are the only scopes I run for PRS

[@jdrollason]

Are these still shooting well for you?

[@halfdollar86]

Hey Kenny! Hope you are doing well. Have you had a chance to compare the Zeiss LRP S3 to the S5 or other optics that compete with it? How are you liking it? I may have an opportunity to get an s3 for a great price in a couple weeks.

[@texastrappingandhunting4838]

Have you shot the 112s in 6 ARC? I shot a group with cfe at 29 grains but plan to test shooters world precision soon.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Yes. I run 30 grains in a 26in barrel at 2840 fps

[@texastrappingandhunting4838]

@@EagleEyeShooting I’ll work my way up to 30 and see how they do. It’s one of your barrels so I bet it’ll shoot nice if I get that velocity up there. 108 Berger were already amazing in it but I’m curious to see if I can get a good group with the 112s too. Thanks Kenny!

[@linkchen8245]

thank you ! How u like that zeiss scope, which model ?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 ZF-MRI. Best scope for the money. I run them exclusively for my match rifles

[@mastermoarman]

How do you like the fx chronograph vs the bullets peed one?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Not sure yet. So far I like it. Haven't compared it to the Bulletspeed or Labradar

[@mastermoarman]

@EagleEyeShooting well plenty reviews out there of it vs lab. I'd like to see more about the features the bullet speed does. Hard to find good info on it. Does it track the bullet over distances and give speeds at the distances? How far out does it go?

[@halfdollar86]

Hey Kenny. What barrel profile would you suggest for a target rifle in 6cm. Mostly prone shooting? Have you found any accuracy difference between say a MTU and M24?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Target rifles are typically a straight contour 1.25 with no muzzle brake. This allows for higher string of fire and eliminate stringing during sets. The added benefit a straight contour allows for wider nodes and typically are more accurate

[@paulcupach8196]

I'm guilty of chasing 100yd groups.

[@chriswinsett]

Guilty

[@burz]

Building up a JAE chassis currently. Have you had good luck with the chassis overall?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Love the chassis. It's pricey but suits me.
