    Steel.
    Size the target appropriately to equate at max, size of the kill zone of your quarry.

    Helpful to have a dry, sandy berm behind it so you can spot your "misses". With a heavy recoiling magnum like this (more than the .300 win mag), a brake or can not only makes it more pleasant to shoot, but helps a great deal in getting the rifle to settle back on target in time for you to be able to do your own spotting.

    Never used a camera, I'm sure they are helpful; but self-spotting can be done effectively without in most cases.

    Sound advice.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    ""but I have NO clue as to the reamer he will use, should I email him and find out details of his 300 PRC reamer?""

    Send them an e mail or call them and they will should send you a copy of their reamer. Since the 300 PRC, the 6.5 PRC and the 6 GT, are all relatively new,so all the barrel makers should have the same reamer.

    I have the reamer specs from xcaliber but I missed the president's day sale,

    I plan on putting up large card boards with my targets to see my POI,

    It is warming up pretty fast here in West MI, I plan on going to the range next week.

    Yes, I have a brake and a silencer for 5/28 muzzle,

    My factory savage LRH, has a muzzle device already but the thread pitch is funky and will not be compatible with my thunderbeast silencer.
    newbie from gr, mi.
