Dylan Johnson shot his first PRS match in July 2025. Just one year later, he’s already won two regional matches—and recently dropped only three shots against a field of experienced competitors. In…
Dylan JohnsonGuestJoshHostScottHostYeah, I mean, there's two trends of thought, like, for the new guy.
It's like either start with a 6.5 and learn how to drive the rifle really well with a 6.5. Then when you go smaller, it's going to be super easy.
Or start with the 6 and learn to see those shots.
that you know because you can be a lot lazier with the small sixes right and get away with more and and see more
yeah i think the uh i think the sixes are the ticket for a new guy it's very easy to load for very easy to see low recoil um the bullets are just getting better so there's obviously still space to shoot a 6.5 you know like a west match you know more splash stuff like that but
Yeah, I mean, the Dasher 105, GT 105, BR 105, that's been cream of the crop forever.

They've only been out for like a month.

it's

and that's pretty much the load you've stuck with that's i
