[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2207540, member: 879"] Butterbean: Wow! That guy really set you off. You said: "You and many others that I have had this same discussion with all have the same down fall, Without a Laser Range Finder and a Kestrel you couldn't hit a pop can at 100 yards ( Hence my challenge )" I do totally agree with you about LR shooting, though. The hard part isn't the long range, it is the dadgum wind. But I could take you up on the 100 yard popcan challenge with my 6.5 Creedmoor (no rangefinder or Kestrel required) except I'm pretty sure I can do it with a 22 Long Rifle. I'm not even sure I have a scoped rifle that can't hit a popcan @ 100 yards. And that's only because I can't see iron sights anymore. But I know guys who could meet the challenge at 200 yards with a CZ P-09 9mm pistol. He already has done it. My reservation about the 6.5 Creedmoor is the killing power where big game is concerned. Although a lot of guys have proved it on Elk, I still think that a heavier, faster bullet would give me more confidence in a faster drop and kill. I'm not one who wants to blood trail anything more than 60 or 70 yards. If ya have to do that, I am OK with using a bigger cartridge. [/QUOTE]
