Bloody oath, that "used to be" a major part of reloading, getting repeatable consistent velocities.Seddo wrote:You cant be unhappy with that!

Re: Factory 6mm Creedmoor
Talking about shooting groups. A fellow i got to know recently told me about how well his 223 groups. I said have you got a pic? He sends me a pic of a hog with three blood spots i presume were entry holes. They were the best part of an 8 inch triangle at some unkown distance and most likely over exaggerated. He was chuffed. I'm still gobsmacked. A mobile fleshy target at unknown range is a rather odd way to express rifle accuracy. Each to their own.
Impressive result by the way Seddo. What barrel length?

Re: Factory 6mm Creedmoor
Trev there are multiple tiers of redneck up here. The zero and load (factory) test type that shoot off the side of the post, tree or car bonnet. And usually, and i am dead serious, believe the gunshop collimator is 100% accurate to an infinite distance.trevort wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 12:47 pmI thought you had an advanced FW filter TonyTony Z wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 12:20 pm Talking about shooting groups.

Then there is the type that rock up to the range with gat, ammo, girlfriend with tatts, tits and teeth, not a cleaning rod to be seen, a hundred rounds of ammo, a shoot n see target, and he spends all day zeroing. This tier has the latest gear gleaned off the net, but wait for it, has a SMLE as a back up??? Back up what? Crowbar, fence picket, fire stoker? A fucken SMLE as a back up. FMD.
The next tier is the bipod, front rest and sand bag type that knows his shit, fires a half dozen rounds at multiple ranges and is ready to hunt bear.
I'm sure most ranges around Aus have these types. I have never before seen the load test on a live pig kind. A whole new level of redneck, or as you say, FW. Almost as good as the one macca had, turns up in a yowie suit. That too is another level of redneck.

Tell ya one thing though, I would much sooner see old mate in his yowie suit than ever have to see Trevort in his mankini again

I believe that pig sighting in is called full use of reactive targets.
There are some very special people out there.
Back on topic the 6mm CM seems to be a be a performer.
Lets hope you can get to a range soon Seddo.

Re: Factory 6mm Creedmoor
I've seen the full camo type at my range, no yowie/ghillie suits yet.
Oh there was a guy with a drone checking out his targets during cease fires...

Re: Factory 6mm Creedmoor
The best one i have seen is a gino at little river. he had a blazer tactical rifle in 338 lap, with a big NF scope (with fuck all elevation) and a BORS. He was shooting at a target at 100m for half a day. After every cease fire he would fire 2-3 shots and then sit down and talk to his mate and drink coffee. Funny as hell.

Re: Factory 6mm Creedmoor
I like the guys who bring all their non-shooting mates and girlfriends (who haven't paid to shoot and don't have hearing protection) and then give them no instruction as they spray lead all over the place (or get scope bit). Then they go have a coffee so he can then come back so he can impress them with hitting the target at 100m that they all missed. Don't ask about group sizes though...
Mind you, I have no problems with others inviting their friends and encouraging them to have a shot or two (even if they didn't pay entry fees). If it attracts (legitimate) new shooters I'm for it.
