For the last 20 year it was shoot them where you saw them and then worry about getting it out. Now at 68 things have changed. The question is why hunt somewhere your not going to shoot?

Looks like a lot of fun, and great shooting. It does show how hard 100 targets on uneven ground would be. Like the Backfire challenge or not it will get more hunters practicing their skills. This would be fun and a great way to teach kids If one has the place to do it. Start at closer range with...

Same here, watched the cleaning video with Speedy. Put a few bb's in bottle to help shake it up.

This takes me back 20 to 30 years when some was getting ready for deer season. They would set up a paper plate at 100 yds, if they hit the pate 2 or 3 times they were ready to go. I've had several hunting rifles that shot .7 or better, 3 shot, cold bore then let barrel cool 1 min. and shoot. If...

This is what I plan to setup for practice for family. 200 to500 yds.

Has anyone tried the 140 Speer bonded? I've used Hornady Interbonds in 308 30-06 300 Win and 300 and 340 Weatherby for years and always performed.

Pistol is a last resort. I'll take most any rifle over a pistol. I shoot the 340 just as well as the CM or RPM. CM is fun to shoot and cost a lot less(340 is a custom 7 1/2 lb. with scope and good brake. To answer the op's question, the 6.5 PRC should work fine, practice and getting in shape is...

Thanks, with the RPM running 3100 it should be good to the 600 yd self-imposed range.

Just got into the 6.5 world. Carried the RPM with 143 ELD-X as a back-up to Co this year. Would you share what bullet your using?

Like your post, the real question would you carry the 6.5 Creedmoor in brown bear country? I have 6.5 CM, 6.5 RPM and 340 bee, and bet you can guess the one I'll carry.

Was looking for real life numbers, not numbers on a ballistic calc. When everything goes right a 22 will kill a deer at 200 yrds.

Can you give numbers in yards? I have 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 RPM and would like to know what you think the effective range would be with 125 HHT. Have only used Creedmoor on deer, and just got the RPM this year. (both guns shoot in the .3).

Thanks for the reply. This time of year most of my cleaning is done in the basement, and I am using a cleaner that does not have a smell. With the borescope it shows that it is doing a pretty good job, but there is still carbon in the barrel. Goes to show we can learn new and better ways of...

I just got the Teslong that WIFI to iPhone and now in search of a new cleaning product. Any help would be appreciated. I thought my barrels were clean, as patches would come out clean, scope shows carbon.

This is what I've used for 40+years. Friend of mine shot on the military pistol team and he used Bullseye and 148 wad-cutters.
