I love it That's next on list once I top off the toy fund with any luck I'll have that to bring down to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 @shooterrex I was planning my return trip on the drive home from my first fall shoot. I would have been down this spring if covid hadn't shown up and now just hoping that I'll be able to cross the border in Nov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still going to need a 6.5CM seeing as I've got dies and bullets Same bullets/projectiles, I'll send you the dies, pro bono. Free gift, delivered this fall. You can't make 6.5CM brass from .308 Win brass - but you can certainly make the superior .260 Rem from .308 Win brass. Oh, did I mention that the .260 Rem was superior to the 6.5CM? I think I forgot to mention that part... Slightly more case capacity, slightly more powder volume, slightly more muzzle velocity, slightly more better in every way... I'm just sayin'... I'm here for the instigation of the better cartridge... 6.5 Creedmoor is for people that can't reload, and only know how to buy off-the-shelf ammo... And are skeered of reloading... If they were smart enough, and reloaded, they would have bought a .260 Rem in the first place... over 20 years ago...

Another bonus. You're running .308 Win brass, it's just necked down to 6.5mm... Not need for a special bolt - just run a regular old .308AR BCG, brother.

Not only do I reload, I'm already experienced in shooting something at some kind of distance. Not the distance that Todd Hodnett can do, but I ain't bad. This one was the decision-maker, when I read this. And I dove into the .260 Rem without reservation, at all.

98Z5V Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) My favorite quote from that Todd Hodnett article listed above, and why I teach the way I do - this is the exact same mentality I always used when I taught Land Navigation, too, in all my time in the military. Fuk your GPS - that bitch will fail, at some point, and if that's all you know, you're fucked... well, I know how to use a compass, a protractor, and a map. And I know the difference between True North, Grid North, and Magnetic North - and I can set that in my Silva Ranger Type 15-CL compass. When the batteries die - I'm still good. I can get from Point A to Point B, effortlessly. I don't even have to think about it - just do it. That's my same approach to long distance shooting, and all you here that have been out here know that. No Ballistic Computers, no laser range finders... No tech. If you can't do it on your own, determine distance, gauge wind, make high-angle calculations based on smarts... then you can't shoot. When the tech fails, if that's all you know - then you're worthless, as a shooter. Do I have that stuff? Yes - to confirm teaching. Laser range finder and a Kestrel with Applied Balllistics software - to confirm what I teach. It's not a replacement - I rarely even use it. But it's a tool that backs up what I'm spreadin'... The weather-side of the Kestrel - that just can't be beat. That kind of information is invaluable for shooting - you can gather REAL weather data, right then,while you're shooting - and that amount of weather data is a gold mine... Yet, I bitch on. Here's the Todd Hodnett quote that I was wanting to get to - from the very beginning: What advice would you give a shooter who wants to improve their long-range abilities? TH: No matter what happens, at the end of the day when the batteries fail, we still have to be able to go back to square one. You can never get past the fundamentals. All advanced shooting is, is when you don't screw up the fundamentals. Most of the time when we have problems shooting, it's because we're not taking care of the fundamentals. This isn't a Kentucky windage guessing game. Edited July 25, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted July 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 @98Z5V thanks for the info, glad I signed out prior to seeing it last night otherwise would been up till the AM.🍻 The other issue with people and the whizbang toys is their absolute trust in the output. Faulty output from wrong input usually operator but sometimes sensor results in wrong info,the more critical the answer the bigger the error. Well the simple solution is to get both a 6.5CM and a .260REM, fortunately I reload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey brother - my .260 fuks shiit up for about 60 cents a trigger pull... They are twins - I preach that all the time. Reloader? .260 is the answer. Don't reload? 6.5 C is the answer. It's just amazing that you can get this kind of performance from a gun, and amazes me still that the .260 has a little more case capacity, little more powder room, and a little more velocity than the 6.5 C... ^^^ Yes, that jab was intentional... Dirt Bike Tommy bought a 6.5 C Ruger RPR, never shot it before he came down to shoot with me. We got him on the 500 yard and 850 yard targets by starting with my .260 dope sheet. They're almost identical. Very minor differences - but close enough to watch impacts and adjust right away. They're both just unreal. The .260 is just a little more unreal...

Gets out of his truck, and says, "What are y'all shooting at?..." Well, Larry, we're trying to hit that 250-yard IPSC steel plate with pistols... He pulls a 1911 from his holster, angles it up... looks around... angles it up a little more... He pulls the fucking trigger, and a second or so later, ... TING! YOU HAVE TO BE SHIITTING ME!!! He manned up, smiled, and HOLSTERED THAT GUN, AND WALKED AWAY... THAT is how you do it, men... That WAS pretty epic! Mike drop moment for sure! On 7/23/2020 at 10:48 PM, 98Z5V said: Lesson, friends - when you talk shiit, and then you actually pull it off... You just WALK AWAY, and you MUST act like you MEANT TO DO THAT SHIIT. Don't give any other details. Don't say shiit. Just walk away, and either holster it, or let it hang from the sling., swinging like a Big Dick.. and you HAVE to be cocky about it... - like you meant it. It just bewilders motherfuckers... Even a blind monkey finds a banana once in awhile... Inside, you're saying to yourself, "Damn, I can't believe I just hit that..."... Just act like it was on purpose... If you're quick enough to think about blowing the smoke off the end of the barrel, it adds to the psychological impact, of the impossible shot that you just made, first-round... The crowd is mind-fucked... Yuuuup!!!!

Rsquared Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yeah, Greg (not GREG) and I had been poppin that target (with rifles, just playing around) until Larry hit that sumbitch. We just rolled out and moved on to drinking and bull$hittin at that point (if I remember correctly). Fukin Larry.........he ruins everything. Fukin Lurch.
