Why shoot a sissy rifle?

And you WON'T See, any .270 Winchesters, on Texas Plinking, 1,000 Yard Steel Challenge, either

Ummm, you will this spring when I hope to go there with the infamous .270TH. It most certainly has the horsepower. But then again, it ain't your grandpa's .270.

156HH @3250 G7-.292
170EOL@3100 G7- .339

"Maybe Hornady will come out with an Ackley Improved version that holds 1.5 gr more powder and call it the 264 Pile Driver Magnum Express just to ease the delicate manhood of hunters."

Let's get the jump on those Hornady guys and name it the 6.5 Creekley Express. You design the reamer and I'll pay to have it made. We'll be rich I tell you - RICH!!!! I can see it now. Sissies the world over will be bending over backwards for them!

Did I mention it was a Vodka drinking kinda night? It is...

Man, there's a joke or two there, but I won't touch it. I like it here. LOL

Imagine a 6.5 creedmoor with a 80,000 psi steel case going 3500 fps! Would we still need the man bun?

Just for fun...

With the success of matching 7mm Backcountry in QuickLOAD model I entered up a 6.5 Needmoor at 80k PSI (come on, everybody's doing it).

24 Inch barrel in the model, standard COAL.

ELD-M 140 comes up as 2950
ELD-M 132 comes up as 3150

61 grains of fast powder vs. 41 grains of fast powder.

So a 6.5 Steel Needmore would still need more.
