Now, now RT.
I said that groups lie "to me".

Tiny groups and bugholes I can do.
As you said, environmental shifts and velocity patterns,
caused my groups to wander relative to point of aim.
So after shooting 10 five shot groups, averaging 0.27 inches,
I build the 50 shot aggregate and now the result is 0.65 inch to 1 inch.
Small individual groups, but composite spread is quite hefty.
I'm not getting the job done.

Shooting for score?
That is a metric that doesn't accept excuses.
I can see ammunition caused strays and wind related outliers.
Groups hide those issues and allow me to continue my bad habits.
Shooting for score has improved my skills.
Focused attention on wind, ammunition quality
and body mechanics.



I'm much better now.

Europe is going to be bloody again eventually

Whale is tired of your shenanigans

Upon first sporting them, I ran down the road, and climbed the embankment to get the first few photos. Then backtracked and went up a fork in the road hugging the far side hunched over to get above them. Thinking I was oh so sneaky. Two hours later they strolled right by us with no fucks to give.

Ballistic Products has H1000 in stock along with some others

But this guy on twitter has been posting about irregular sun activity that perhaps is what you are seeing: https://x.com/SunWeatherMan

I looked into 260 since I reload. I figured it gave me a little more flexibility and case capacity, especially when running heavies to avoid running into compressed loads. The ctr mags for tikka are pretty long, I haven’t had issues loading 308 pretty long. Of the top of my head I think I can load to 2.995 with no issue in the mag. Throat/chamber could be an issue though.

6gt was similar vs the 6br. Larger case capacity and I’ve read they feed a little better but haven’t seen any issues with feeding at matches from other shooters.

With my atmospherics running 145s-147s at 2650fps I was actually going trans 25y before 110-115s going 2800fps. This was mocked up in AB quantum using velocity data I found from other shooters. Velocities seem to be a bit more mild but just trying to keep expectations real.

I haven’t bought factory ammo in years so it’s less of a concern. Components seem to be equally easy to find.

Not arguing at all, just explaining how I came up with those choices.

Thanks for the insight, it looks like it’s a point for 6.5 with splash.

Of course @Terry Cross liked a .260 shout out. lol

On a serious note, if you are set on a .260 then have at it. I run my 28” 6.5 Creed with 153 ATips at 2680fps with H4350 and you should be able to do similar. You can shoot the lighter bullets also if you wanted. I have used 140s for years, AMAX first and now ELD-Ms, and have shot them out to a mile. I’d suggest a 28” barrel if you go .260 to get a little more velocity without having to push it hard.

As mentioned the speed of the 6mm will help determining barrel life. I run my 6Creed with 110s at 2910fps so will get similar to any of the slower 6mm for barrel life. The 6Creed got the barrel burner rep back when it first came out and the matches were different and people were running them at 3150fps. Now everyone is running slow 6mms as you know the range so the speed isn’t needed and people want less recoil.

There was another update. I applied it via the Leica app. I couldn't get ABQ to connect. I can connect and switch between devices now now but there is a 15-20 sec lag. In my opinion, that is still a problem. ABQ is on an iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.5. Software on all devices is at latest rev. I guess I'll contact Leica next.

You want to hear some more contrarian opinions ? Grab the tinfoil and some popcorn and settle in, it's a long one but its worth the watch.

We're going to get into everything from real estate fraud funding the black budget, the 5g control grid, the internet of bodies, (think clot shot) merging all your records into one digital file whether it be your browser history, you Financials, or your medical records, underground bases, the breakaway civilization and on and on.

Still haven't finished it myself. Think I've got about an hour to go, but so far its been good.

I prefer self checkout. Unfortunately to have these things we have to live in an honest society. My great aunt and uncle owned a service station. When they needed to run somewhere they would just leave it open and people would pay for what they took. Thier town has changed so much since then, they can't even put new bathrooms in the park as people literally break everything inside them. Probably the damn teachers unions fault.

About 45 years ago when I was a young pup, we were making a deer drive on a very cold late November morning here in WI. I had grabbed a pair of warm gloves when we left home to help deal with the cold. Midway through the drive, I noticed some deer had cut out of the woods and were running across a field heading backward from the direction of the drive. I ran to get out of the woods and sat down to scope the running deer. I beauty of a buck was in the bunch and they stopped about 250 yards out! However, there were farm buildings behind them so I couldn't shoot. I jumped up and started running to my left in order to get to a spot where there was a clear backdrop, figuring if they started running again they would clear the buildings and I would get one chance at a low probability shot before they were over the hill. I ran about 100 yards until I had a clear backdrop and they were still standing there so I plopped down on my butt, trying to steady the crosshairs. The crosshairs were floating above the body, then down onto the body as I was trying to slow my breathing and started applying pressure to the trigger so the 2-3/4# trigger would break when the crosshairs were on the body. Boom!, WTF? The gun went off when the crosshairs were about 12" over his back and off they went over the hill. That thick glove dulled my trigger finger feel and I had applied more pressure than I was aware of. That's the last time I wore warm gloves when hunting...

Are you at liberty to say if in any way related to reticle options? Will say that it’s very encouraging to see PA proactively respond to consumer/industry feedback, rather than looking at a future downstream upgrade to deal with a known potential issue. I can wait till 2026 for best in class. Appreciate the honest update.
