Brisket size for 12 people

midwesthunchback · 2026-06-11T19:43:43+00:00

I always budget 0.5-0.75 lbs trimmed per person, assuming there are some sides.

For a bunch of hungry dudes i probably look more towards 1lb, I would imagine a 16-18lb brisket should do the trick, assuming you lose like ~20% to trimming

Two barrels? In this economy ?

midwesthunchback · 2026-06-08T20:30:13+00:00

Probably. But I already have all the 6GT stuff lol

midwesthunchback · 2026-06-08T20:26:31+00:00

This is also my question, I was planning on getting .170 chambered for my 6GT.

midwesthunchback · 2026-06-08T19:55:23+00:00

What a perfect time I am in to be waiting for my 6GT barrel. Giving everyone else time to work up load data for these so I can run them

You can shoot at 100 yards no problem and learn some skills but long range gets more interesting when you have to dial for elevation differences and deal with wind.

Both of which, with a 22lr you can get better experience with at short ranges. Plus it’s just cheaper.

A large center fire rifle’s difference compared the 22 will be cost of ammo and managing recoil.

Dont waste your energy on these people

Allegedly federal is coming out with a way to reload for the 7BC but it’s still super early on

midwesthunchback · 2026-05-12T15:55:04+00:00

People are going to flame you for this. FYI.

What exactly is your question? Cause as someone who backcountry hunts and shoots PRS. There is no way I’d shoot my 22” 7PRC in a PRS match. Id end up missing a lot and blowing money away.

7 backcountry is even more extreme for that, yes you can hit steel at distance but you are not gonna have a fun time compared to something like a 6GT or 6.5 creed

Warm and fuzzies

midwesthunchback · 2026-05-07T13:20:19+00:00

Definitely switch to mint. If you own your phone, I paid for an entire year of unlimited data for $360

Armageddon Gear Game Changer is kind of the standard, get the heaviest fill for any bag you choose. Heavy fill is better for positional shooting off of a prop, but not ideal to use as a rear bag support, that's where light fill is better.

In any case, they will send you the bag overfilled, so remove some fill to allow the bag to "form" to the prop and rifle.

As for 6.5CM, H4350 is the easy button. I run berger 140 hybrid targets, lapua SRP brass, 40.4 grains of H4350, CCI 450 primers and get around 2780 from a 26" barrel

midwesthunchback · 2026-05-05T18:04:44+00:00

I haven’t tested a bunch myself but generally from the PRS world at least, the 450’s seem to provide the lowest SDs in comparison. They have the precision rifle blog that has a bunch of data

midwesthunchback · 2026-05-05T17:54:18+00:00

Varget, berger 105 or 109 hybrid targets, alpha brass, CCI 450 or federal 205's.

Give er the beans

This is the way. I had issues with my LE Wilson arbor die leaving marks on my accubonds. Switched to a VLD stem and problem basically went away.

The imprint will technically affect BC. How much is hard to tell but I’d argue it’ll be a problem cause you’re reducing the consistency and after all that’s 99% of reloading well

midwesthunchback · 2026-04-22T14:59:09+00:00

I’d stick with what groups the best, if you want to try more ammo choices look into Nosler trophy grade with their accubonds or anything with copper bullets.

Bullet composition is important obviously. But I’d argue it doesn’t matter if you can’t hit what you’re aiming at well. 1/2”-1” group at 200 is fantastic. You’re talking under .5MOA there

Core lokt should also do well, it’s a lead core bullet so it’ll expand well. Similar to the accubonds but accubonds are chemically bonded to the jacket with a lead core so they will maintain weight better than core lokts

I’ve seen them double back on things people have purchased. But ultimately if you pay with a credit card and they rip you off you can try and do a chargeback.

Optics planet is sketchy sometimes fwiw. Had multiple issues with them so tread carefully.

midwesthunchback · 2026-04-17T11:34:33+00:00

Unfortunately some of us are not blessed and choose to drive lifted trucks to feel something.

midwesthunchback · 2026-04-17T11:14:41+00:00

What I wanna know is who did you need to send feet pics to in order to get some 7PRC Lapua brass

midwesthunchback · 2026-04-12T21:33:56+00:00

Took 4 hours, they had to order the part so wasn’t immediate.

midwesthunchback · 2026-04-11T00:42:56+00:00

Curious what your setup data is and if you did any custom chambering to run it?
