I'll bite, I'm having one spun up for my R8. I want the accuracy it will potentially have. Along with being able to drive a 180 to 3k. It will not have a belt so brass life will be better. I'm guessing it will have better support given the history of the 6.5CM, 6.5PRC, and 300PRC. Should have better barrel and brass life than a 28N. I guess there is something not to like about it?
Two more;
Yeah... that pretty much sums it up. Especially chicken soup with a monkey wrench. It really adds a flavor all its own.
I have the man bun cartridge just not the hair hahaha
I hope that's your Ruger American beater rifle. 6.5 Creedmoor is wanted on anything better and the Blaser purists here probably won't like you bastardising a Blaser to make a Creedmoor.
Well I'm bald so I can say for a fact the 6.5CM will not give you a enough hair for a man bun.I'd gladly shoot a 6.5 Creedmoor if, as a result, I got enough hair for a manbun.
No 6.5CM for the R8 just the little 7PRC.
Don’t forget your compass!
They might me for you, a 9 year old or a lady my not be as comfortable. It is just another tool, the thing is everyone has a "favorite" the reality is most do not take the time to look from a different perspective. Example, take the 3 cartridges you have list. Would you take any of them out to 1300 yards? Unless you have custom barrels for heavy bullets you are going to run into issues. I have shot sub 1/2 MOA groups at 1300 yards with a 6.5CM, again it is a tool nothing more. If people want to get wrapped around the axle about it, that's on them.
I’d be lucky to hit the ground at 1300yds!
It is not as bad as people think. I had my older boys (13 and 15 at the time) banging steel at 900 yards their first time at distance. Have done the same with the wife. Good gear, ammo, and a little knowledge helps.
You obviously know what you're doing, but nobody makes cold bore, first shot hits at long distance ever time. Elevation is easy, wind is the voodoo. I have the opportunity in the TX Panhandle where we deer hunt to occasionally watch the worlds most acclaimed sniper trainer and his "students" shoot. They come from all over the world. They don't make first shot hits at distance either. Nobody does.
You are more than welcome to look at my stance on the subject. I have said many many times, the shot I personally will take at XXXX range will depend on conditions. The list of conditions is longer than just wind. The worst the conditions the closer the shot needs to be. For the record I'll say I have made 1st round impacts at a mile and I have missed at 300 yards. Nothing is a given, that's why I train. Now if condition were favorable, let's say we had a little mist so you can see we don't have wind...well we can send out a little more. I'm not one to advocate take it at 1k in 30mph winds across a canyon in switching winds with poor light. On the flip side if my only shot is at an elk 800 yards across a canyon and we have the right conditions. I have hit enough 4" targets at 800 to know if I can connect. I'm also not going to take the shot if I can't make it. I have nothing to prove. The only thing I owe is whatever animal I shoot the quickest death possible. I do have a conscience and I personally have had to put to many wounded animals by other down to know what that is about. I messed up my first deer with a bow, after that happen I shot arrows everyday from not only the ground but a tree stand. Get why most want to get close, love doing that myself. I'm just allowing myself to have options.
Bob just mentioned a zero, 2" high @ 100yd, that will allow most hunting ctgs. to reach 300yds without much trouble. I zeroed 3" high & you can reach way out there & still not miss that buck that jumps up @ 25yds. Let's not forget your zero has a lot to do with shooting past 200yds.
