    Do I need a bubble level?

    I've been shooting for decades, and never used levels until a few years ago. I started using them for PRS because I found that while shooting from awkward positions on uneven surfaces and with a crooked horizon or no horizon in view, there were times that I thought I was level....and wasn't. I...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    Well, at least he did say "not a SEAL" in his post. Was it a bad idea to use "Seal" in his name? Absolutely, and he should change it.

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    You mean my razzin' by people who don't hunt, and read something on the internet, so it must be true? Nah, I've been shooting animals for over 30 years, so I'll take my personal experiences and observations over some non-hunter's opinion on the internet. And I was not wrong, and I'm not...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    As I already said a few times, just because something can be done doesn't mean that it should be, or that it is the better choice. You don't need to convince me of the need for proper bullet placement over caliber selection. I've mocked many people for shooting whitetails with a .300WM, and seen...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    OK, as Garandman pointed out (and I should have as well, but I thought this stuff was common knowledge), it's more complicated than just penetration. We could get great penetration with FMJ, but we also want a large wound cavity and the weight to smash bone and keep traveling in the same...

    Yes, all of those. Sorry if my answer was an oversimplification.

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    No responsible hunter is going to attempt an 800 yard shot on elk with either a 6.5 or a .308. We are talking about animals that can weight up to 1,000 pounds. A .22-250 makes a decent ding when it hits steel, but that doesn't make it an ethical elk cartridge. Penetration is the key, not...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    Killing what? For killing bad guys, yeah, the 6.5 might be better, but either is more than enough. You don't need much penetration for humans. For deer? Either will do just fine. But for large animals like elk, it requires heavy bullets to make clean kills, because you need the penetration of...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    It IS obvious and "self-evident" to anyone who hunts. Can you kill an elk with a 6.5CM? Sure, but it's certainly not a good choice, and most definitely not better than .308. I'm sure that I could kill a whitetail with a .22LR, but that doesn't make it ethical (or legal). Large animals like elk...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    No, because he said "better in every aspect", and killing large animals is an "aspect" of these rifles for many people, and .308 does a better job of killing large animals than the much lighter bullets of the 6.5CM. Either would be fine for deer, but for larger critters like Elk, the .308 is a...

    6.5 creedmoor vs .308

    You probably should have said "every aspect of target shooting", because .308 is better for hunting large game than 6.5CM. :)

    Hornady "Suspend" List

    So this is probably just temporary, until the ammo market returns to more normal conditions? This shortage crap is getting ridiculous....I thought things would have calmed down by now, but I've seen very little sign of improvement. I'm glad that I always kept a fairly decent supply of each...

    Savage FVSR Range Report

    I recently bought one of those, too, but I went the cheap route and dropped it in a Boyd's Tacticool and added a BSA Sweet .22 scope. I am really, really impressed with the accuracy of it. It beats some of my much more expensive .22s. My only complaint is the cheap flimsy magazines and the cheap...
