Definitely the guy you want to listen to when considering/ evaluating something new. Obviously evaluates things with an open mind and evaluates facts objectively. BTW, PRS guys (and gals) do what they do because it works and provides an advantage over things they don't do/ use. It's science and...

If you were going to spend that money on a new custom rifle anyway, why not save the 10 cents?

I have one new box of 100. PM me.

I shoot the exact same round from my 6.5SAUM (or GAP4S). I get my Ammo from Copper Creek Ammo. Sound like you might too, as 3150 is their quoted speed. I have shot 3 WT does, 4 Aoudad, and 2 big Catalina goats with it. It has punched completely through every animal, including one goat front to...

How far are you from Raton, NM?

Another vote for contacting Tony at Tromix. Since he built the very first .458, and it was for SOCOM, I doubt anyone knows more than him about the caliber AND getting it to make those air compressor release sounds reliably.

Heard this story second hand from a guy that hunts all over the world. He was told it by the helicopter pilot he used on his New Zealand Tahr hunt. Helo Pilot flies father and son deep into the snow covered mountains and drops them off for a once in a lifetime Tahr hunt they had saved for/...

That’s his choice. What’s that got to do with anything? Everything I wrote in my original post is the truth. I don’t care whether you believe it. You asked.

I hope you’re not insinuating that I’m the one saying “Boo Hoo.” I’m not the one that bought the rifle that doesn’t meet your objectives due to closed mindedness. I’m very happy with MY caliber choices. They do exactly what I intended them to do. Btw, that’s my 6.5 C word in my avatar pic...

You don’t want to hear this. But you let your cranky ways negatively influence your decision. The 6.5 CM, and now possibly the 6.5 PRC, WAS the choice you should have made, based on the criteria you set forth. Anyone who shoots them doesn’t worry one bit about the uninformed naysayers who think...

Obviously a very dated article. So much wrong and obsolete with it. For instance, 6.5 CM Lapua brass has been available for quite some time.

You would pronounce that "Hashtag goals." It means that this is a goal of mine (a lightweight rifle that one-holes at 100yds). The hashtag is how you "tag" ideas, themes, sponsors, manufacturers, etc. on social media sites like Instagram. Essentially, its a shorthand slang way of saying you want...

#Goals

You just stating something is not what I would call “supporting evidence.” This link comes from a physics forum. These guys eat, sleep, live this stuff. They seem to side with my view that, all else being equal, additional bullet energy must be expended when shooting through visible moisture...

Can you provide support for that statement. I’m not claiming it isn’t true. But I’m curious as to it’s logic. As an engineer, and a pilot, it defies my logic and experience. As a pilot, I don’t think water droplets could move fast enough to get “cleared” out of the path. I’ve been in supersonic...
