- Date: 11 November 2026
- Range: West End Gun Club (Meyers Canyon, CA)
On the afternoon of Veterans Day, I went to the range to rezero two rifles and to test more loads.
I switched to taller height ~1.5 inch rings on by NRL Hunter Open Light rifle (Audere Adversus Gen 2 36mm diameter, 36mm / 1.41″ height rings) and on my recently built 6.5 PRC Lone Peak build (Area 419 Hybrid 34mm diameter, 39mm / 1.54″ height rings).
Every one-piece mount I run is ~1.5″ height and I kept buying rings that were around 1.2″ height. However, I want to eliminate some issues with low face/head positioning with my rifles using rings (2-piece mounts) and have decided to make the switch.
I also loaded up some 6.5 PRC loads with the Berger 153.5 LRHT using N555, as opposed to N565.
