Ivan from Kit Badger details the first shots and zeroing process for his 300 PRC rifle build. He highlights the effectiveness of the AB Suppressors Raptor, discusses the 300 PRC cartridge's origins and capabilities, and demonstrates zeroing at 100 yards using a Garmin Xero C1 chronograph. The video showcases long-range accuracy out to 1,112 yards with the aid of the Hornady 4DOF app and emphasizes the importance of data logging.

Quick Summary

The 300 PRC rifle build features an AB Suppressors Raptor, Nightforce 7-35x56 scope, and MDT SkyPod bipod. First shots and zeroing were conducted at 100 yards using a Garmin Xero C1 chronograph. Long-range accuracy was confirmed out to 1,112 yards using Hornady 4DOF ballistic calculations with various Hornady ammunition loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of the 300 PRC rifle build tested in this video?

The build features an AB Suppressors Raptor suppressor, a Nightforce 7-35x56 scope, and an MDT SkyPod bipod. The rifle is chambered in 300 PRC with a 1:8 barrel twist, and tested with various Hornady ammunition loads.

How was the accuracy of the 300 PRC rifle verified at long range?

Accuracy was verified by engaging targets at distances including 1,112 yards, 626 yards, and 813 yards. The Hornady 4DOF ballistic app was used to calculate holds based on measured muzzle velocity and other rifle specifications.

What ammunition types were tested in the 300 PRC build?

The video tested three Hornady loads: Match 225gr ELD Match, Precision Hunter 212gr ELD-X, and Outfitter 190gr CX. Muzzle velocities were recorded for each type using a Garmin Xero C1 chronograph.

What is the purpose of using a chronograph and a ballistic app like Hornady 4DOF?

A chronograph measures the muzzle velocity of each shot, which is crucial data. This velocity, along with sight height and barrel twist, is entered into a ballistic app like Hornady 4DOF to accurately predict bullet trajectory and calculate necessary holdovers for long-range shooting.
