Srsly. Get a 6.5cm with easily switchable barrels. Also get a 300nm or 300prc

300 wm is so 90s. Who even shoots that any more.

Is the 308 available without the jewish beak?

It's scientific fact that the 300WM has less variation due to spin-drift than the 6.5CM. You need to keep that in mind when shooting past 1000 yards.

When you look at the balisitics charts, .300win mag is also SIGNIFICANTLY less effected by aerolas effect as well, which is often overlooked when shooting ELR.

I’ll always have a 308 but it‘s way in the back of the safe.

It freezes the time-space continuum. Matrix level shit.

If you want to take the 6.5 CM to a mile I recommend going to the range looking at the target from a mile through your rifle scope, keep rifle on safe until ready to fire, get in car or truck with rifle, drive 760yds towards target get rifle out of car or truck, look at target through rifle scope, take off safe and take the shot.......see how easy it can be to take a 6.5CM to a mile not hard at all.

Hello everyone, I am just getting into long range shooting and am deciding to purchase a new B/A rifle. I would like to know what caliber I should go with. I plan on shooting up to a mile, if I can. Currently, my "long range" experience, if you can call it that, is with a Mosin Nagant 91-30, iron sites, at up to 400 yards. Any and all comments are much appreciated.

.50 BMG is what you seek

@MtnCreek - I think she is Italian. Some have bigger noses too.

For sure a beautiful woman.
Or try Bruce’s version of “Meatballs”.

 

[Bigfatcock]

Is this still available?

She's hot, but bruce has a beautiful nose. lol

Yep. Get a 30-06

Yum

 

[1moaoff]

Are you planning on accounting for spin drift in your calculations for shooting that far?

Seriously!!! Unlike some of these guys playing games I am asking a serious question.

Answering this question can make a difference in my response.

By the way ignore the grouchy guys giving you a hard time.

 

[2aBaC̶a̶]

6.5 PRC

Rifles get lonely so you'll ultimately have both, start with a 6.5 PRC and get it a big brother 300PRC.

 

[Bender]

6.5 will do 1.7 miles with ease.

 

[Holliday]

This thread is gold!!

 

[1moaoff]

Will you guys be nice so the OP will answer my question. It will allow us to give him better information.
@Bender
You know thats only possible with the correct data inputs. Thats why I am asking serious questions. We need to ascertain this information so he is not led astray by the Neanderthals or 260 crowd

 

[SilentStalkr]

Catbird smokes them all. I know, most of you never heard of it.

6mm Dasher on Donner on Comet on Blitzen . On Tranny on Lesbo on Bunghole and Dicksin .

There can be no serious discussion of spinD in The Pit, I'm pretty sure there is a law against that. Hell, you might even get a visit from the Ban Cat for trying. If only there was a place on SH where one could have an honest discussion about calibers for one mile shooting, spinD, and related topics...Oh well, maybe they could incorporate such a sub-forum into the improved Hide via the site survey mentioned above.

6.5 Creed is an extremely accurate weapon, but its effective range may be slightly limited.
Due to its flat trajectory, .300 Win Mag can shoot out to 1500+ meters, while 6.5 Creedmoor is limited to closer to 1200 meters.
Depends upon your shooting range now, which one suits you more.

 

[TheBigCountry]

Which one of these will work for 1000 yards and close range combat? Asking for a friend who likes 1911’s

50bmg.

 

[johnnycat]

If your mile long range is oriented East-West and you are shooting to the west, then I would go with 300WM as it would not be affected by the prevailing winds and jet-stream as much. Conversely, if you are shooting to the east then I would go with the 6.5CM to take advantage of that boost in performance. If your range is oriented north-south then all bets are off and I would find a new range where you can shoot 1 mile.

 

[XP1K]

.264 win mag.

The forgotten 6.5

The forgotten 6.5

All the drawbacks of a 6.5 bullet and a .300 win mag case!

Get some!

 

[HeavyAssault]

I would drive a car to go fast and a truck to to move stuff.....Both will go a mile easily.

 

[79steeler]

.300 Win Mag. I run a 215 Berger Hybrid in Winchester brass with 76.6 grains of H1000, I get 2900 FPS out of my 28" barrel and make hits at 1,680 yards no problem. A mile is easily doable with the .300 win mag.

Then I am done with you and your spin drift!!! You have been trolled!

Doesn't the Magnus effect apply to bullets?

Only multiform, but they are base 10 calculations and hemisphere dependant.

 

[1moaoff]

If you move this to the appropriate section you will get real answers

Looks like more of a reflex from the 300 instead of the 6.5 creedmoor.

Do not forget Coriolis Forces, dependent on which direction you are shooting.

Only with poor fundamentals

338 Edge will shoot a mile.

I don't usually dick measure but when I do I only pull out enought to win .

Difference..., please...?

Well I have both abd prefer the 260 but cheap ammo for creed was enough to change.... maybe

Meant difference between Neanderthal and .260 aficionado . Sorry sarc font failed to engage

So many choices to pick up and shoot i just pick by my mood

Please don’t give him any more ideas. He’ll be asking how to make it work for CQB or worse.

At this point in time, 50 bmg!
