    Range Report Son's first time long range

    Thanks bluto51 & BobD ! BobD: Depends on his age, maturity. Always, safety first, basic rules of gun safety; tell adults & don't touch if an unattended gun is found, etc. Brian and I started by taking the NRA Basic Rifle course together. In my opinion training by a qualified and...

    Range Report Son's first time long range

    @ gstaylorg: Don't worry; he's more interested in cars and girls than rifles. Plus, the 6.5 Creedmoor is a pretty frugal setup, < $3K including the optic. For more info on the rifle see this thread...

    Range Report Son's first time long range

    Thanks gstaylorg! I definitely had fun. Brian seemed pretty pleased too, for a teenager anyway. It's rare for him to be away from his girlfriend for almost a whole day.

    Range Report Son's first time long range

    On 7/3 my son Brian (18) and I treked to Gun Site Hills near Athens, GA for his first experience shooting long range (>300yd). We shot my 6.5 Creedmoor. To get used to shooting prone, he checked the zero @ 100yd and fired several more shots @200yd (while I re-zeroed our .223). Asked him if he...

    My last couple of posts were greeted with the message: "Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting." Does that mean that all member posts are now being reviewed by moderators before they are posted? Thanks.

    I've been using the mil/moa model on my 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20MOA base since Oct. 2012. No problems. Tracking is very consistent and the glass, in my opinion, is excellent. (See...

    6.5 Creedmoor / 140 Hornady A-max loads

    I'm using 42.0gn of H4350. MV of 2751, with no pressure signs in my rifle, 26in barrel. Seeing consistent <0.5MOA with this, so, since hotter loads can reduce barrel life, I stopped there. Heed the above cautions to work up slowly. Safety first!
