Everyone wants to shoot better.
Tighter groups. Longer distances. More consistency.
But sometimes…
👉 It’s not just about improving your skill—it’s about unlocking a completely different level of performance.
In this episode of Beyond the Target, Rob and Jeromy break down one of the most important rifles on the channel:
👉 “Slimer” — the custom 6PRS Moses build
And how it completely changed what they thought was possible with a rifle.

🔥 Key Takeaways
- Custom rifles can deliver accuracy factory guns simply can’t match
- The 6PRS Moses cartridge offers low recoil + high performance
- Reloading unlocks the full potential of a custom build
- Small load adjustments can create massive accuracy gains
- This rifle consistently produces sub-quarter MOA groups
- Even fireforming loads can perform at an extremely high level
The Backstory: How This Rifle Even Happened
This build didn’t start with a plan.
It started with exposure.
Rob and Jeromy were already shooting:
- Factory rifles
- Stretching out distances
- Learning long range
Then they met someone running custom builds…
And everything changed.
After shooting a custom rifle that stacked shots into the same hole, Rob realized:
“I didn’t even know a rifle could do this.”
That was the moment.
👉 Factory rifles were no longer the end goal.
Why Go Custom?
This is the question everyone asks.
Why spend more money?
Why deal with complexity?
The real answer:
👉 Performance.
With a custom rifle, you control:
- Barrel
- Action
- Trigger
- Cartridge
- Load
And when everything comes together?
👉 You get results like this build delivers.
Enter the 6PRS Moses (The Wildcard)
Instead of building something common like a 6GT…
Rob went a different route.
👉 6PRS Moses (a wildcat cartridge)
What makes it different:
- Built off a modified .223 case
- Smaller powder charge
- Lower recoil
- High efficiency
And yet…
👉 It still runs around ~2870 FPS with 109gr bullets
That’s serious performance for such a small case.
Accuracy: Where This Rifle Gets Crazy
Let’s talk numbers.
Because this is where things get hard to believe.
Real-world performance:
- ~0.25 MOA groups
- Consistent sub-half MOA
- Tight velocity spreads
And then…
👉 A 30-shot group under 1 MOA
Let that sink in.
Not 3 shots.
Not 5 shots.
👉 30 shots under 1 inch at 100 yards
That’s not luck.
That’s consistency.
Reloading: The Key to Unlocking Performance
This rifle doesn’t perform like this by accident.
It’s because of:
- Load development
- Powder tuning
- Bullet selection
Example load:
- 109gr Berger
- H4895 powder
- ~28.8 grains
That combination:
- Hits the accuracy node
- Keeps recoil low
- Maintains consistency
And that’s where this rifle really shines.
Fireforming Isn’t “Wasted Shooting” Anymore
This is one of the most interesting parts of the episode.
Normally, fireforming is:
- Boring
- Seen as wasted ammo
But not here.
With the Moses:
👉 Fireforming loads still shoot extremely well
- Tight groups
- Good SD
- Usable performance
Which means:
👉 You’re not wasting time—you’re still training and shooting effectively.
Real-World Performance: Distance + Impact
This rifle isn’t just a “bench gun.”
It performs in the field too.
- Hits at extended ranges
- Capable beyond 1,000 yards
- Even pushed out to extreme distances
And yes…
👉 It has been connected at distances most shooters never attempt.
What This Rifle Is Actually For
This isn’t a hunting rifle.
This is built for:
- Long-range shooting
- PRS-style competition
- Precision testing
- Content creation
And honestly?
👉 It’s become a benchmark rifle for the channel.

Because at the end of the day:
👉 The rifle can only do so much without the shooter
But when both come together?

Most shooters never see performance like this.
Not because it’s impossible…
But because they never go far enough down the path.
