Was all that Valk brass, or did you make it from something (another caliber)?

That'll be identical to me making .260 brass from .308 brass - neck it down. Only thing you have to watch out for is shrinking the neck size down - then having the O.D. of the necks too big. You'll have to turn necks with a special cutter to bring that size back down. It's worth it for me, I started out with zero .260 brass, and piles of Hornady 308 Match brass. All necks had to be turned on it, all of them. Might or might not be the case with 6.8-to-Valk, though. Not as big of a size jump. Run one 6.8 case through the .224 Valk resizer die, then measure the outer neck diameter, compared to a Valk cartridge print. Your neck diameter on the outside needs to be .2560" after it comes out of the sizer die. If it's larger than that, you'll have to turn necks down. I don't have to turn necks to make .260 out of 7mm-08 - very small size jump, less material to get "compacted" into the new smaller diameter. Not the case with .308" down to .264". Risk one or two cases, see what happens.

You'll get it - it just takes time and money. Seriously. Lots of time out there shooting, even with wind, and lots of money for ammo to keep practicing. The important part is just getting the steps in the right order - logical progression. You jump in too far, too fast, without a grasp on it, and you'll be miserable and give it up in no time. Going to a course would help, I'm not joking. That shortens your learning curve with great classroom training backed up immediately with practical experience, of what they're training you on. Seems expensive when you look at it initially (course prices), but it will easily take twice that course-price in ammo and time to replicate what they're giving you, and retain it in your head.

Everyone needs at least one full size 1911... That's a damn good price for a Wilson Combat 1911, brother. Get some pics of that beast!

So, this is a Mil scope and not an MOA scope that we're talking about here. Too easy, in my case. You have 14 mils UP and 14 mils DOWN that you can dial with a zero-MOA (straight) scope mount. Straight up dial. You'll change that 50/50 bias in mils by about 3, just going to a 10MOA mount. My .260 Rem is 8.5 mils of drop at 1000 yards. Your 6.5 Creedmoor should be pretty close to that. You could run a straight mount on that, and still be plenty fine at 1000 yards. A 10MOA mount would give you a little bit more, to go further distance later. Wind is gonna be your biggest problem at 1000 yards - not that scope. If I straight dialed 14.2 mils on that .260 Rem gun, that would have me at 1350 yards. 3/4 mile. You'll be fine with that scope, it's clarity, and the LaRue LT-158 mount.

In varying news reports, it's stated that the gunman was "bleeding profusely from the head" and that the guy that fired the shot - only fired one shot. Headshot at 25-ish yards, under pressure - is pretty damned impressive...

He presented the firearm first. Everything after that presentation is self defense.

I think those VA Dems are trying to TEST it, brother...

I ran all VLTOR A5 recoil systems in the Grendels, so I went with that for the Valk, too - wanted it to be as close as I came on the 18" SPR-ish Heavy Grendel. Here's the Cliff's Notes on the A5 setup. It's a 3.995" buffer. They did that so they could use the Armalite AR-10 Carbine receiver extension (7 5/8" internal depth) and the M16A2 rifle recoil spring. Contract with the Marine Corps to add collapsible stocks to USMC M16A4 Rifles. Change receiver extension, change buffer, keep spring, add collapsible stock. Done. "Common buffer weights" are way different for the A5 setup. A5 H0 = 3.8oz A5 H1 = 4.56oz A5 H2 = 5.33oz A5 H3 = 6.08oz A5 H4 = 6.83oz I have A5 H2s in the Valk and 18" Heavy Grendel. With the 7 5/8" extension and M16A2 recoil spring, they're perfect. I run A5 H1 buffers in the other Grendels. This might be your ticket, brother.

You're going about this completely backwards. It looks like you're basing everything off a 1000 yard zero. You'll be doing everything backwards of what most distance shooters do. You'll only confuse yourself, when you're trying to talk to other people about this, and it'll leave you frustrated as hell, because everyone you talk to about distance shooting will think you're (a) confused as hell, or (b) an idiot. If you HAVE the travel in the scope, zero for the shortest distance you can - you're WAY more accurate, and "adjustable" at the shortest distance that you can accomplish. Then, later, you get better at distance, and you dial your 1000 yard shot and hit it. We have ALOT of people here that shoot 850 yards routinely, 1000, 1100, and 1200 yards on occasion. 600 yards is child's play, but at 800 yards, you better start REALLY paying attention to wind. You have any idea the size of the target you'd need to ZERO a gun at 1000 yards?... You need a crew of people downrange, at 1k yards, doing THIS for you... I think you're trying to complicate shiit, with complicated shiit here. You have the travel in the scope. Just zero the thing at 100 yards, and work yourself up to the distance that you want, 1k yards. Zeroing my .300 Win Mag at 500 yards SUCKED. It was a chore. My mount solution to get me over a mile supersonic left me no other choice. It SUCKED zeroing at that distance. Aim small, miss small. Your best chance of doing that is the shortest, most common-sense diatance that you can. 100 yards is pretty much the common distance. You have enough scope to dial this whole thing to 1k yards. You can take that FWIW...

I'd just drop $160 on the LaRue mount, and be done. LT-158 mount, select 30mm (if that's your scope), select "VFZ Mount" and that drops the price from $210 to $160. You don't "need" the QD levers on this gun, just go with the VFZ mounting option. They even give you the sweet little wrench to tighten it up. Now that I cut your mount budget in half - figure out what you're gonna do with all the extra money...

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!

That car-hauler guy is EPIC!!!

Virginian Elected Officials would be shiitting their pants right now if they knew that things like this occurred in Free States...

i don't think it'll get removed by Mods here. It needs to be seen, and learned from. If BitChute pulls it later - I downloaded it, and I'll host it myself.

After we - here - started doing more Long Distance, and we decided to do High Angle, I made this Tactical Tailor rig, specifically for distance shooting. Knowing we were gonna haul our asses up that highass hill, and shoot down - we needed to get our gear UP there. Everything you'd need to get up there and set up, run your numbers, and make your shots. Whaddaya gonna do, come back DOWN because you forgot something?... "Back in an hour, guys..." Tactical Tailor MAV Chest Rig, 2 x TT SAW Ammo Pouches, 1 x TT multi-pouch, med bag with a cutter on the front, 2 x TT grenade pouches, 1 x TT strobe pouch, 1 x TT small radio pouch, 1 x TT Admin pouch. No TT Y-Harness on this one... Just the X-Harness that the MAV comes with... I'll go over the contents of this thing tomorrow afternoon - everything in every pocket, and why it's there.

This rig is what I purpose built for a deployment to Afghaniland in late 2003. I added that ACU-colored bag to the back of it in 2005, to carry a CamelBak there, on one of the Bataan Memorial Death Marches. Tactical Tailor MAV 2, TT triple 5.56 mag pouches x 4.

Good observation, and good launch of a valuable pile of information, brother. I'll have alot of rigs to go over, and I like layers. I'll layer what I can, to make it easy to change. This would be my preferred method for a gunfight, and I can layer it. Armor plate carrier, chest rig, gun belt. Mission might dictate that there's little chance of contact, and my Ruck is gonna weigh 120lbs. In that case, might ditch the armor. Mission dictates... Tactical Tailor in Tacoma, WA is my go-to for great nylon gear. Always has been, for the better part of 25+ years now. Been into that stuff since the early '90s, when Logan Coffey first started it up. The gear just works, and I've deployed it a bunch. TT MAV Chest Rig, TT Y-Harness, TT double mag pouches on that rig. Blue Force Gear pistol single mag pouches. The pistol belt has the med pouch on it, pistol holster, More BFG rifle and pistol single mag pouches. That would be 7 mags rifle, 7 mags pistol, with loaded guns on your body. If it was a dedicated armor-all-the-time situation, the stuff on the chest rig would be direct-mounted on that plate carrier, but the plate carrier would still be worn in conjunction with the gun belt.

I'm pretty set on the 88s... After today, I know I'm supersonic to 1150 yards, brother. How far will your 80s get you?...

Oh my Lord, did they make a good one with this one... Single-stack 9mm... So, this thing is the slide from a Glock 43... It's also the longer frame from the Glock 48... It's the 43X... SAME SHIIT that sent the Glock Fan-Bois on FIRE with the 19X. They all wanted a longer slide on a shorter frame, and Glock gave us the 19X - SHORTER slide on a FULLSIZE frame... They lost their shiit over it... The Glock Fan-Bois blew an ass-gasket over the 19X... This is another "X" that they can vent over. Short slide, long frame, ... 43 slide, 48 frame... 43X. SHAZAM!!! GAWD DAYUM, DOES THIS THING SHOOT!!! This is a bad little skinny hooker right here, and it "feels good in the hand." Exactly what you'd want a bad little skinny hooker to feel like. Does it shoot? Gawd Dayum, DOES IT SHOOT!!! What a great little, skinny-girlfriend gun. I'll get more into this one, and 50-yard 5-step this thing. It's pretty damn impressive. I probably put 350 rounds through it today. It's just night-sights away from being my carry gun. (For the record, I don't have that gay silver slide - mine is all black, as it should be..._)

I disagree... The Hornady 88 ELD-M is the Go-To projectile, with CFE 223...

She was a hoot, man - bring her back out before she ships to Basic...

I'll answer this in colors. #1.MOA sucks. Let's move beyond that, though. If it's 100.8 MOA of total elevation travel, that's 50.4 MOA UP and 50.4 MOA DOWN, on a zero-MOA mount. Should be, anyway. My .260 Rem with a Hornady 147 ELD-M handload, pushing 2650fps MV, runs a 100 yard zero. It's 8.5 mils of drop to 1000 yards. Confirmed, at 1000 yards. mils to MOA = x 3.4377. 8.5 mils x 3.4377 = 29.22 MOA. I'd say that your information is pretty damn accurate, and the Hornady 147 6.5CM ammo is pushing 2650fps. No other way around that data. Why would you want to do this? That's setting the very center of your scope up for a 1000-yard ZERO. And that info isn't even correct. You have 50 MOA UP and DOWN with the internal travel of that scope, as stated. You can use a zero-MOA mount, and still make 1000 yards easily. Just dialing. Check it out. I have a LaRue LT-158 mount on my .260. That's 10 MOA built into that mount. MORE than what I'll ever need, with my internal scope adjustments. My load is supersonic to 1500 yards. At that distance, I'm 17.2 mils of drop. For your case, multiply that by 3.4377 to get the MOA equivalent... That's 59.12 MOA, to 1500 yards... You can almost DIAL 1500 yards with that scope, with a zero-MOA mount... You don't NEED a 30-MOA mount, not at all. More on this story... These 6.5s (both Creedmoor and .260 Rem) have a very similar flight path as a good/great 300 Win Mag round. I'm rolling some pretty serious 225gr Win Mag loads, through a bolt gun. I have a 30 MOA mount on that gun. Different scope, but the internal travel limitations on that scope leave me with nothing less than a 500-yard zero. So, it has a 500-yard zero. My goal for that load was to keep it supersonic to a mile. The 30-MOA mount and 500-yard zero keeps that load supersonic to 1800 yards - achieved my goal. Had to work out a 2-mile solution for a .375 CheyTac bolt gun. Best I could do was an EIGHTY-MOA (80 MOA) combination for the scope mount, to keep it supersonic to 2300 yards. It's all holding, after that, to 3520 yards... I think you're reading into this scope-travel and MOA-mounts more than you need to...

This was a fucking great day, brother... Can't thank you enough, just for being in it all... I mean that - and not just because we're brothers, and you're just a 'lil tanner than me...

I can send you a 5mm borescope camera - if you promise to send that fucker back to me... I don't use it often, but when I need it, I REALLY NEED IT... Lemme know, brother.
