Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 260 rem questions

Holy scmolly things just got really real.

I will offer my recollection of that windy day.

I was spotting for Sendero and without question saw him hit the plate. Depending on the wind wiggle and scope it was possible to see the hit from the firing line but I didn't go down to target when the picture was taken.

There was spray paint at the target and I assumed the target was painted.

To the best of my knowledge no one else hit the plate until I gave it a run later in the day. Scenar and Cinch were on scopes and I shot 7 times.

The first 4 shots were visible misses with decent dust. The next three I could not spot the impact (14X optic). I was pretty sure I had at least one on the plate and after getting dug in with a 60x HD Swaro I could see the impacts on the plate.

I, and everyone there, assumed I shot all three. EHGs post makes that look unlikely and the plate did not get painted after Sendero's hit.

Considering the conditions (gusts to 38 MPH) I will take the 2 shots and still feel a strong bit of luck was involved.

F me. I was a legend and now this.

yup. Some days you're the windshield, others you're the bug...

I had the sheep spotted from two miles and was working over to them. After glassing them back up after a mile hike, lasering them at over another mile, I watched them moving around and most were getting out of the area. Except for the one ram who was bedded. I realized that if he was to be shot I had a long way to get to him and not enough time. I radioed dickhead and asked his location. He showed himself on top and I did everything but take him by the hand and walk him to the ram. I kept the ram in the glass for about 30 min to an hour and guided him into the ram by radio. He would radio back multiple times that he couldn't find him. I went as far as to describe the Yucca the ram was bedded under. After Phfucckface spooked him, the ram bugged out enough to be seen and he shot him.






Is it even legal to walk somebody in by radio?
If not illegal, doesn't sound ethical to me!

Dang, if you guys keep this up you can sell tickets.....

Two fhuqking funny!

THE Liars are trying to unite,schit is going "proprietary" and poor poor fhuqking 'Fubar is gonna call the Cops!!!

EHG needn't "guess" and is gooder than GOLD.

Hint.

Just sayin'.

Laffin'!

The Snake Oil Chronicles are a fhuqking hoot!!!!

Wow +P+!

Absolutely.

I'm thinking theres a lil more to the story than this but we'll get to that a bit later...


As for the deer I wasn't talking about the one at at the Taxi Shop... We can tell that was a phony... I was talking about the one below... You know the one that got away... We'd like to see a few more pics of him...

Guess talking about the "Professional Guide" thing is outta the question...

Johns recollection of the shoot is pretty much spot on. Conditions were terrible and I never did hit the 1790 that trip. It wasn't until after John had taken his hero pics that SM told me that the one hit wasn't Johns and in fact was his hit. IIRC that's exactly what happened... He forgot to paint the steel after he made his hit and took his pic. John took his turn on the steel with several of us spotting. When SM had told me the one splash was his John had already taken his pics and the steel had been painted so nothing was said.

Nonetheless it was quite an accomplishment especially in those conditions. Like I said, I never did make a hit on it that trip.

Why don't you a--holes take your bickering somewhere else and lets use this thread to talk about 260 Remington and loads!!!!

So there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll?

Based on this thread, I think I'm going to sell all my rifles and just use the .260. Or a 6.5.

Best post yet.

Interesting. That appears to validate EHG's observations and questions.


HClark - 100 TTSX, 44.7 H414, Lapua brass, F210M. Avg 3065 from 22". H414 received a try out when 4350 was unfindable. Turns out it works quite nicely and is or at least was easier to find.

Here's a 120 TTSX on the receiving end of a reduced load worked up for kids. 44.0 H4831sc. Avg. 2600. It works nicely with minimal recoil. The 100 TTSX load above is about the same recoil wise.

Icould do the same except my only .260 is a 16.5 lb. pig to carry!!!!!

I want me a $5,000 man hole cover shooter.

That is a flange, not a manhole cover in the photo.

It could be a fuqqin marble rye for all I care. If Looks-Like-Seinfeld-Taking-A-Schit wants to shoot it please make sure you document it for the Warren Report. And we'll need to know if the color is off white, bright white, eggshell white, or some other shade of white.

I'm guessing "hub coupler" off a big axle. Probably cast, which might explain the hole in it. I shoot the same, but from smaller machinery and as long as the distance isn't too close you'll barely scratch the surface.

That's a mild steel blind flange. That particular one has a hole drilled and tapped through it. At that range the bullet strikes just leave a mark on them. At closer ranges they get torn up rather quickly...

What diameter is that one? I need to get my water plant inspectors to grab a few for me.
