Why shoot a sissy rifle?

[birddog 68]

Have never tried in the Needmoor but might light it up !

The 6.5 Creedmoor with a 140 Berger at 2960FPS with RL26 is pretty hard to beat for overall performance

Yes 2960 fps with 140's . WOW

Well a new 8lber of RL23 is 500 plus tax at CalRanch and Sportmans so that's not far off!!!

I bought two one pounders maybe 3 years ago. Haven't see since. Have half pound left. I'm ove it also. Don't use anymore. Had a great load for 6.5 PRC with 123? Gr. Hammer Hunter. That's all I worked on with that powder. I'm sure work good in 6.5 Needmoor.

I'm using 140 eldm and hunter powder at around 2725 fps and 140 ballistic tip with 6.5 staball at around 2750 fps. IMR 4350 was very accurate but 50-70 fps slower.
Mine is basically a range rifle since I have a dedicated deer rifle that I am more comfortable using. It's not a 6.5 creedmoor

From what I have learned on this thread, I don't think most of us have enough hair for that name. Unless it's like a fat guy that has a nickname slim or tiny?

I don't think I'm brave enough to wear a man bun. Dad always told me if he caught me with an earring he would cut my ear off. If he caught me with a man bun he might start cutting a lot lower than my ears.

I actually have wound up with several 6.5 creed's but when it comes to hunting I haul out a real mans rifle. My 6.5x55 no sissy rifles for me!!

Question:
Why hasn't anyone posted a picture of their sissy rifle?

This went way longer than I expected and it was derailed several times.

I posted one earlier in this thread.

There's some speculation that Hornady is toying with the idea of a .309 Creedmoor -- case size halfway between the .308 Winchester and the .30-06, but shooting a .309 caliber bullet. The case will be too long to make from .308 and if you try to shorten a .30-06 the neck will be too thick. The marketing folks will explain how it will be faster because of modern .309 caliber bullets that take advantage of more than a century of development, but have a proprietary design that opens to a perfect mushroom on impact with any resistance, but retain 100% of their weight no matter what they hit. The .309 caliber will shoot only bullets manufactured by Hornady, too, even though they are so similar to our current 30 caliber bullets. At least that's the speculation.

Anything to make Steve more money!

It's one thing to admit to it, it's another completely to have pictures floating around the internet. Just imagine if those surfaced at YOUR confirmation hearing 10 years from now.

Nice rifle, does the 5 port brake make that thing a little more manageable? (asking for a friend)

 

[TAZMAN]

When you pull the trigger, it pulls the rifle forward and drags me with it!

It will put your CM right there with Factory 6.5 PRC

Until you put RL26 in 6.5PRC......the stuff is pure magic.
