EH76-what is the 6.5x47 case based off? I just had rednecked a 260 together and am loving it!
Dober 260 is where it is at... I can say this after having the 6.5X47L I have a new .260 inbound from Roger.

Ha ha ha, these long range threads are great. If you got it, you got it. If you can't hack the distance stuff or don't agree with it, no sweat. Don't do it, or take up knitting. Funny how you don't hear the long range guys bitching but there is a constant moan from those who don't agree with it. Maybe I should start sniveling and bitching about anything shot under 300 yards. The rifle most often than not is capable. It's a driver/ pilot issue. I couldn't agree more.

...I think debating the ethics of how we hunt and why we hunt is healthy. However, it's obvious that some drink too much of their own Kool-Aid like Mike Schoby. He makes its clear that why and how "he" hunts is also why and how "we" should hunt. Schoby references Boone and Crockett's definition of fair chase in that animals should be hunted "in a manner that does not give the hunter improper advantage"... . That's only gonna happen when the animals can return fire.

I am not saying that I am always certain�of anything. ...this (very expensive) long range thing is just target practice... they have gongs for that.
Thanks for sharing your opinion; I'm sure the gentlemen here who've cleanly killed multiple animals at well over 600 yards will take that opinion into consideration the next time they're afield. That is the politest F_ OFF I have ever seen posted....well done.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

You might be in 4 some hangfires in cold weather with the SR primers. No he won't. I've used them in my 6.5x47L down to -25 degrees Celcius about 200 miles north of your border. Never had an issue.....
AF Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.

I would truly like to increase my range. I mostly hunt in Africa and a couple of things, most of the ph's do not like and some do not allow breaks on guns and usually they try and get closer on plains game but sometimes you just can't and I would like to feel comfortable with a 600 pr 700 yard shot but if you draw blood you pay the fee and will not get another try. If I could shoot like the video I would take the odd long shot but still try and get as close as possible. Some of the game requires big calibers and bullets does greybull build tithe type of gun described. I do not begrudge the man his price if his work is good and it looks like it is. I have never seen one of his rifles but would consider one for mountain nyala as the distance can be a problem for a lot of hunters.is the website greybull precision ? Thanks
