Besides the 6.5 prc

[Jeff Heeg osoh]

For something that gives you consistency in performance, good barrel life even if pushed at times, good selection in reloading supplies and a great time.

I like 338 LM & have 3 & can reload for $1 a rdb using Lapua brass & bullets but only because I bought a guy out with 2000 bullets, dies, brass, etc for 1/2 price.

 

[Jeff Heeg osoh]

It's amazing what a person can pick 338LM - Lapua brass up for now on Midway compared to what I paid years ago.
I see a flyer out again for like $79.00? If my memory serves me right for a 100 pieces.

I only use Lapua brand, it's by far the best IMHO.

more humor ?

No humor, just real world experience. I've shot to 1 mile and beyond with cartridges ranging from .223 up to 50 BMG, including a handful of specialty pistols. The medium 6mm and 6.5s are absolutely capable shooting to a mile with good results.

I shoot a mile with a 22lr & can hit the ground or trees 99% of the time. Says 1.25 miles on the box but I'm working up to it.

That benchrest shooting video...***? How does that guy even get his sight picture back in his eyeball through the scope with as fast as he is shooting??? That is ridiculous! I would never want to be part of a sport that made me shoot a rifle that fast. Part of the beauty of shooting to me is the positioning and the breathing and the trigger squeeze and all of the little details that go into making a good shot. This guy is just slangin' it down range LOL.

agreed. It's a reloaders comp. those rifles weigh a ton and don't move much. Get lined up and send it.

 

[Mram10us]

You don't go to br guys about bipod shooting form They definitely show accurate cartridges and reloading practices

 

[TangoOscarMike]

That benchrest guy looks like we're clearing mud huts in Kandahar and I asked for cover fire. LOL.

as usual not related to ONE MILE shooting.
dasher is good but not a 1 mile round.

BR barrel life

 

[rsmithsr]

the why do they not show up at matches in the real world....1000 yd br...no 223's.
6 rule 1000 but not at one mile .
post some real world match results

that is a rail gun. one of 4 classes. yep they do not move much, I have seen 10 shots in 12 seconds, (there is a vid floating around somewhere). the other three classes are more like rifles,BUT they sit on front and rear rests, not prone nor position shooting.
it is not hunting related in the least.

to each their own
