I guess it's just me in here..
Nope. I'm here in and out.
I don't want to go bak an read the thread again, how'd you do in your competition belly?
Commander in Chief is talking right now on the news about the shooting in the DC area. He started talking about the economy now and not the shooting.

I flubbed the last stage by not following the post-shot checklist. I did not reset my DOPE back to 100m, so I was 2" high on the last stage. I missed every single target.Quote:

highclass... you in here? c'mon man! I bust my butt and cut my cake-time short to answer your questions!!!!
Buehler?!?!
Night yall
I had to eat lunch hah. That sucks tough man. Were you doing good prior to the last stage?
Friday yet?
Yeah I thought I was competitive until the last stage. When the total number of hits available is 66, and you give away 20 on the last stage, there's not a whole lot of room for error in the rest of the day.Quote:

My groups on the last stage were pretty darn good. I would have gotten all hits, but again, I was two inches off a one inch target from 100 yards away.Quote:

Honestly, I think I could have won.
Man I feel for ya. When's your next competition?
Isn't the 6.5 flatter though? Trajectory wise.Quote:

I don't really care about flatter or not. I care about retained energy at the target.Quote:

Sent off my Utah CFP packet today. Approx 60 days plus mail time I should have my permit back.
FYI, to be proactive, I call the Parker PD and ask about their property/building firearms policy because I need to get fingerprinted. After answering a few why, what, where, and being put on hold twice because she doesn't know their policy, she comes back with, "We don't have a policy against firearms in the public areas, but we would prefer you didn't."
WTF?
The young guy that did the fingerprinting was cool about it and we chatted about carry guns, etc.
6.5 grendel is a small case, about the size of a 223, right?
I have no idea. I have to get some work done, so I can't start running all over the place to these competitions. I'll get to maybe one big comp a year from now on. Hopefully, that is.......Quote:

easier to get a good velocity with a similar (but not equal) sized projectile.
The weird thing is that since 6.5 Grendel is a bit of a weird cartirdge, try 6.5 grendel vs. 6.5 creedmore.
^^^^^This. Lead the way wax!Quote:

I told them that there's no way it's the ammo. They sent me a return label, so I'm sending the rifle back tomorrow.Quote:

i don't have time to mess around with crap that needs to go back to the manufacturer. For that much $$$ it better work perfectly for the 10k rounds they said it would.
Still watching this movie.
OBC: you had a question??
Hey look, a sunset!
