Well Larry... When I was at the All Prone LR match in Deep Creek last September, I saw exactly ZERO guys shooting 7-08s at the 6,8,and 1000 yard line. Between 260's (6.5-08s) 6.5 Creedmoors, one 6.5-284 everyone else was shooting 6XCs. The top ten scores at 1000 were all 6.5's...

Wonder why that is???

Now the 260 I've got shoots 140 grain Partitions (with a BC of .495) at 2740 FPS, and its dropped everything I've pointed it at (including an Elk.) As far as specs on my reamer, You'd have to ask Dave Kiff. All I can tell you is that on a fresh Lilja or Lawrence pipe, its in the .2's and .3's for 5 rounds on an Ultralight contour, and they're pretty well used up by 2800 rounds.

In an average year, I send 4-6000 rounds of centerfire rifle ammo downrange (add in RF and pistol ammo and I haven't shot less than 10K a year since I was 20.) But you're right, I don't know a [bleep] ing thing about shooting a rifle. Wonder how long you'll be around this time??

I'm Irish...

Of course I know how to patch drywall
