Why shoot a sissy rifle?

[WYO300RUM]

I have a Tikka T3 Lite stainless that I have put on a B&C stock, bottom metal, metal bolt shroud and lighter trigger spring. It shoots great. Killed a few animals with it. Last time shot it was 2 years ago on a doe wt. Before that was 2018 I have a 28 in. Encore Hunter barrel for my TC and a 27 in. MGM 6.5 PRC barrel for it. I had a 6.5 CM Vangaurd I won. Sold it. Wish I hadn't because 2 other Vangaurds I won in 300 wm and 257 Weatherby a both .5 MOA shooters. I had a TC Compass in 6.5 CM I won. Good little shooter. I sold it. Have a 6.5 PRC C.A.Ridgeine and a Cooper mod. 52 6.5x284 that I just pulled out from back of safe to work with. I don't shoot 6.5 CM much anymore and I'm certainly not ashamed to own or shoot one and I never make fun of them either. Some is good humor tho ! All can kill. Some may have limitations. That's up the the shooter to understand. Sorry for long post. Now back to the humor!

Count me in the club. I really enjoy shooting it even if I do so only mid-week when the range is empty to avoid being seen with it in public. Shoots everything I've tried (Hammer 80HHT, 85HH, 123AH, Berger 130 OTM and 156 EOL) under 1/2 moa except H4350 and 140 ELDM/143 ELDX. I swear I'm the only person on earth who cannot get that combination to shoot accurately. I shot every combination in 0.1 grain increments from 38.0 to 43.5 and could not get better than .8 moa.

43.0 grs. H4350 with 143 ELDX shoot good out of my Tikka. I tried other bullet and powder combos , some good. I'd have to look at notes.

This is actually what Sam was looking for in stolen luggage.

I just read (as I'm typing) that the CM has killed more big game animals, at longer distances in LGS across the country than any other cartridge in the history of man. Don't ask me to give up my source.

BTW, I shoot the manly 260 Remington. I also eat a pound of sausage, a dozen scrambled eggs, six biscuits, drink a pot of stiff black coffee and drink a half gallon of whole milk for breakfast every morning. My wife fixes it before heading off to her job.

Yeah, I know it was believable until I mentioned the wife cooking it. Sorry for stretching my version of the truth. LOL

You almost had me believing it until you're wife showed up.

I have a few 6.5 Creedmoors plus 2 6.5 PRC, 3-308's, and 300PRC custom builds. The 6.5 Creedmoor with a 140 Berger at 2960FPS with RL26 is pretty hard to beat for overall performance and recoil. It's just a balanced round with a lot of support. Not quite as much as 308 but it's getting closer.

The muzzle brake may be a bit overkill but let's not judge!

I like seeing the impact on game, I'm all in on muzzle breaks and suppressor.

OMG!! I'm busted!! I have 4 6.5 cm's !! 3 are Savages,1 wears a 26 in fluted barrel from xcaliber, Mcrees chassis stock , trigger Basix , Athlon Cronus and weight is 23 lbs!! I need to borrow a 3/4 ton truck to haul it and the ammo for t-Rex hunting. I drive a Tundra as well !! But no man bun as my hair is retreating like no body's business!!

I'm sorry. I just can't forgive you on the Tundra

And I further confess I gave up my 7 rem mag and now own (2) 7 prc's, I use vortex optics and my heart belongs to Remington , I fly the multi colored flag , be brave my friends

I'm not quite sure how to respond to that one lol

I hate to admit, but my very adult son acquired a 6.5CM 3 years ago in a Browning AB3. I am uncertain on how to proceed with the rewriting of my will.

I do own a 260 and 260AI, but I just can't bring myself to the wearing of the manbun.

Did you say Will??
Dad, I am still in your corner no matter what my brother does!!

Only a dozen eggs and cooked to boot!? Wildcat basketball and KY men just ain't what they used to be. Next you'll tell us you drink store bought whisky. Sad really.

I believe all of this until the last sentence.
I know darn well that your wife ain't going to let you fly no multi colored flag even though you wear the pants there.

I could be red white and blue ? I doubt rainbow

Yeah, I'm still thinking about what to say in response. Maybe the flag is red,white and blue
You beat me to it. Wy300rum

 

[Victor3Ranger1]

OoooooOh boy you're in trouble. A smaller caliber creedmoor AND It has a brake on it!?!?

It just makes it sound bigger
Kinda like putting those big fart cans on Honda

After rereading my post, that does sound confusing, multi colored flag is red white and blue, not the other one.
