Crock,
I learned to hunt with a shepherd’s sling. I went from there to a Crossman pellet rifle shooting BBs. I might know a thing or two about getting close, as in real close. (Check out David in the Bible if you don’t know what a shepherd’s sling is.)
As an engineer, I tend to set design parameters for a project. My new rifle projects get the same treatment.
I have read post after post after post on 24CF that recommend minimum impact velocities of 2000 fps impact velocity with mono metal bullets. I want to shoot up to 450 yards, so my parameters for the bullets are 2000 fps at that range. My ballistic software computes 3005 fps for BC of .412 at sea level and 30F.
If the 6.5 CM can do that, then my next rifle will be a Creedmoor. If not, then a PRC.
I really appreciate the replies to this thread from people’s experiences. They are valuable to me.
Your posts have no value in regards to my question.
