I don’t remember for sure what scope he had or come ups. He was using 140 grain Fed Match. Did not look to see what bullet he was using. We ran through Chrono then we have them do there own math to figure it out

The students had a bunch of SR25 type KACs out there in 6.5 One had a 1-10 SxB, one had a Nightforce and one had a SxB 5-25 on them. I believe the 22” one with 5-25 SxB took around 27 mils to hit at one mile but my memory sucks

Now I was shooting at a mile with 300WM, long loaded 215 Hybrids, 2900 fps and was using about half the mils the 6.5’s needed from 100 yard zero .5 mild left wind hold. Easy wind day!
Vortex Gen 3 Razor 6-36

The 1-10 SxB used all hold overs for distance

We were just stretching them out. Had very little wind or mirage so having fun

Okay lash...this has taken on a life of it's own.
Went to make a sammich, grabbed the mayo,
opened the drawer and there it was.

So of course, when the cosmos gives you a nudge,
you take the hint and go with it.





The wife heard me laughing in the kitchen.
She's learned that's normal and ignored it.
Y'er welcome.

Bump. Would trade towards a lightweight stock. Something 2.5lbs or under

You need to find the sparkle britches wearing a Gucci scarf

Like I mentioned earlier…motivational and inspiring! LoL

Today’s subjects: one of my SBR’d lowers with a 300 BLK upper, and my 3-tax-stamp PDW/PCC:



The first one was my usual pull the bcg, tape up the optic where needed, throw it in an old laundry bag, and spray away!



Literally took less than 10 minutes total time, including waiting for the first coats to flash off before turning it over. Light coats help, just sayin’ @clcustom1911 LoL

Left the magnifier and mount unpainted for now since that gets swapped between multiple uppers. Really doesn’t matter I suppose, but didn’t want to mess with it today. Turned out nice….well, good enough for my needs anyway!



Second one’s taking a lot longer; partially because I’ve never used this technique before, and I really haven’t figured out the “art” of the barrier/mask application (dish soap) yet, and partially for the drying time between coats after I wash away the dish soap.



In fact, I’m posting this right now while waiting for the rifle to fully air dry after doing the first layer on both sides:



…more to follow.

————-

Edit: second coat down, soap washed off and the rifle’s drying again. Clearly need to go much, much heavier on the dish soap ’mask’ for the first coat, and not much less on the second to preserve more of the tan Cerakote base color.



I’ll probably hit it with a light mist of tan after it’s dry to bring it back to a color more appropriate for my AO, but I actually like this technique…I just need to figure out how to properly apply it!



Edit #2: basically wound up with a paint job similar to the first one after going back over it with the tan. Turned out pretty cool, but it was a lot of work vs. the simple 10-minute version. Especially considering I had to do a complete detail strip and clean after hosing it down to remove the soap:

2000.00 is now a cheap scope?

the mentioned scopes are around 1400 MAP, can certainly be had for less if you shop.

Not a fan, Stan.

Sold

Spent a couple of hours looking for artifacts in the creek with my grandson. We didn’t find any today but had a good time anyway. I think we are going to buy a couple of gold pans and try our hand at finding some flakes.

Hey I was teaching some guys today and one of them had a KAC 14.5 6.5 which is first one I have seen in civilian hands

Damm that rifle shot well. Had him at 1300 yards like it was 600

Very nice work

What weight on the bullet and details on the scope please. Come up?

Thank you

This happened to me before. It turned out my custom barrel didn't have a throat.

I was getting over 2900 fps with 130 bergers out of a 6.5x47 L.

The velocity kept increasing as the barrel fouled and I had horrible copper fouling.

You need something more age appropriate like a 1911 or a 38 snub nose.

Someone got the "real" Battle of Britain experience... Both walked away... Passenger was from Colorado...

Had a buddy come over this afternoon to help with the install. Watched the Dillon video. Laid everything out. Assembly was easy and straightforward. Even for someone with limited mechanical skills.

First few hundred rounds have been trouble free.
