Aha, k well one more reason to get the alum shroud. Mine must be tight because I can barely get the damn thing off when I'm trying!
How did you RPR perform in competition? Did you put on a new barrel?
I put the titanium shroud and brake on mine.
Mine is bone stock. Makes me giggle. I have some reasons to want to keep it stock at least through 2016. When the barrel is shot out, I will change that and do some other upgrades, but I really want to show what the stock .243Win can do.Originally Posted by Calculated
You went 243 also? Nice. I haven't found the perfect load yet, I've had good luck with JLK and Don Lahr 100's. Much better than the Berger's I originally tried, they were hit and miss. Bought some Amax's to try next.
I just read that Benchmark will soon be making drop-in barrels for the RPR which makes me giggle. I have a 6.5 Creed of theirs on my DT and it can be a 1/4 MOA barrel with some luck and the proper voodoo in the reloading room.
Do you mind giving me some insight into your RPR 243 loads Mark? Base to Ogive, powder, projectile?
How does it cycle with the Ti shroud, any noticeable difference or drag?
Right now I have 42.8 grains of H4831SC under 105 Amax in once fired Remington brass at 2.775 OAL. Under 1/2 MOA. Not done tinkering and I have not shot groups past 400 yet. Doing that today. I also have 115 DTACS loaded for today and I will see what happens past 400.
I full length sized RP brass and nothing else. With the 105s, that worked fine. For the 115s, I had to chamfer to keep from peeling the jacket. I am doing a few things different with this that I normally would.
Feels a little more solid, no noticeable drag. That's about it. (And that's probably all in my head)

Took my new one out today, shot 115 DTACs pretty well. Really enjoyed shooting it.
Dude, where's my can?
So what has everyone done with their tweaked/canted handguards? Wasn't it I just need to undo and retighten or what was the trick with that? Spent most of my time with my brake trying to find the right spacer to realize with 20 degree's per ring, I needed like a 10 degree so I'm slightly off from true centered >.<
