Took my Badger .260 rem out to 1k...

[K_4c]

Buddy and I had a nice range day.... 45 degrees with a 4-7 mph wind (not bad for Nebraska weather in the month of March).

Anyway, I went 3 for 3 @ 1k in rapid succession (3 shots/3 hits in 7 seconds!). Target was a 30" gong (I know, that's a huge target.... but it was still a good time). Our (I should say, his range) range consist mostly of 9x15" ipsc plates which we made numerous hits out to 1k and in to 700.

No comments on the ice hockey table gents... my kids are overtaking parts of my man cave... it has since been relocated (storage closet...ha).

here's a video... enjoy

Cool. Good shooting. I used to live just outside Pleasant Dale.

 

[bodywerks]

Nice shooting. Getting excited for my 260 pcr build.

 

[K_4c]

take care bud.

That rig looks good. Keep up the good shooting.

 

[maclowry]

Nice setup and good shooting.

 

[chainring]

Very nice!

 

[K_4c]

Very nice!

Thanks much Chain. I'm looking forward to your build!

 

[DarkD]

Nice rig, is that one of the cabon fiber wrapped Krieger barrels? How do you like that? Is it worth the extra expense in your opinion?

it's not. It's just fluted.... the pattern is called pins and needles I believe... it's pretty slick.

I've got an M2008 with a 17" .308, a 22" .260, and a 24" 6x47L.

I've got an M2013 on the way and the .260 barrel will sit on that.

Sweet rifle.. thanks for the load data. My AIAX 260 arrives this week... love the caliber!

Sweet rifle.. thanks for the load data. My AIAX 260 arrives this week... love the caliber!

I have yet to try any 142 gr SMK's but the 139 gr scenars fly!

congrats on the new rifle.

1000 meters: 9.8 mils (with a 4 mph I had .6 mils on the glass for wind).

Awhile back I remember reading a write up by Zac Smith on the .260, 6.5 creed and 6.5x47.... I seem to remember his dope at 1k was 7.1 mils at 5000 ft.....

While in the service, we were taught for every 2500 ft of altitude, one needs to +or- 1 moa (issued the m3a/1 moa elevation adj).

With the actual dope that I compiled above at 400 ft (density altitude), is it likely the 2.7 mils discrepancy between Zak's dope and mine are based mainly off altitude differences? I never chrono'd any of my loads but I would assume they are close to 2750-2800.

I know there are many other variable, but the main differences between data was altitude.

Thanks for any feedback rendered here guys...

Man that's horrible shooting, you should let me take it off your hands lol. I been wanting to do a Badger build lately and the KRG stocks are nice!
