If that is your experience who is to say you a wrong. My experience with several 1" silhouette scopes and several VX3i LRP and a VX6-HD for hunting and silhouette is they dial up and down just fine. Been dialing up in matches, PRS & silhouette, practice sessions and hunting for years and 1000's...
My son using a WeiBad TACKPAD on top of his pack for front and has a PumpPillow for the rear support. Both are light and make great sitting pads for glassing. BTW he nailed the shot at a nice Coues buck at 380yds.
Remington has a history of flopping with their cartridge design. 6mm & 280 being prime examples. With a little more forethought the 260 would have been well intrenched and the 6.5C would still be a cartridge for matches only.
Have a range where we can shoot steel at 328, 420 and 546 yards, when I go for cold bore first shot hits on the 8" plate the hit percentage at 420 is high, hits at 546 not near as good. I'm with you.
BackFire is an ok guy. I find his content ok but no great shakes, also never seen him boast. Way more watchable than "the real gunsmith". This episode was interesting because I thought the shooter would do better than 50% hits out to 400 yards, was blown away how bad it went.
Just get a few friends and shoot the 1000 yard practice sessions to check your rifle and dial ups. I have gone will a friend that shoots the practices regularly. Kinda fun to workout my 270 out using his electronic target at 1000.
The Golden Spike Shooting Range at the N end of the Great Salt Lake ran a similar match. That match got me started shooting to longer distances, great fun.
Check out desertsharoshooters.com calendar, they have practice session at Ben Avery for 600 and 1000 yard sessions. You pay a fee to the group running the session when you arrive at the range. Need to show up at start time to be included. Also online at Ben Avery you can book a session on most...
Bought two year and half ago. A vanguard and a 1500, solid rifles and pretty good triggers. Both in 6.5C and they turned out t be so so shooters. Groups ran at best 1.5 inches, every once in a while 3 would group inside an inch with Hornady ELD Match, ELD-X and Federal Fusion 140//143 grain...
Awesome !!! Who makes rifles and ammo for this great cartridge ???. In my personal view a cartridge that launches a long for caliber bullet say 160 for .277, 190 for .308 or 170 for 7mm at about 2950-3000 fps MV is IDEAL. I say ideal because with this class of bullets at this velocity you get...
