I didn't realize how flat my boys 17 hornet was until we compared it to 300 wm at 400.
Aint sure what it's really good for, other than saving powder and having fun.

No disrespect but go pound sand dude.
I got a kick out folks pawning off 6.5CM as the end all be all to LR shooting. My post on page 1 was directed at the fact that I found it laughable that the 6.5 CM was even in consideration for one of the flattest shooting cartridges.
In the same breath, I'm not biased against any cartridge to the point I blatantly disregard hard proven facts regarding the abilities and limitations of any cartridge
im not sure what's worse, your so-called "needmore fan boys" or you and your little needmore hate group.
I ain't a part of either one so you do you bro. I'll do me.
My words " Is the Needmoor a great round ? It Absolutely is"
Back to you
Ok. So what exactly are we arguing about then? I responded to a post in which an individual asked for facts regarding why I said the 6.5CM is superior to the 308 and I gave them
And then you chime in with your typical
"The numbers don't matter! go away with your facts" speech and here we are.
I'll agree with you on you on that tho. If you aren't shooting past 500, then you're exactly right. It doesn't matter, but thats also not LR shooting and I thought that what this was all about .
Let it go dude..

Lol. Easy there. It's not about grudges. It's about the numbers. Just because a caliber has been around for for a long time and you like it doesn't make it "better" than XXX caliber. It's just means it's older and you like it
308's hold a special place in my heart. Was my primary weapons system for quite a few year and caliber of choice for a time after that, but facts are facts and the numbers don't lie. feelings aside. the #1 6.5CM is ballistically superior to the 308 in both trajectory, drift and energy on target at distance Recoil is less. As I said, the only con to the 6.5CM I see when compared to the 308 is barrel life. Hornady ammo shoots lights out, and is readily available. The 308 will
Bit slightly harder at close to medium distances but the CM retains its velocity better so it's gonna hit harder at the extended ranges.
Just because the 6.5CM is superior to 308, Doeant mean the 308 isn't good or that I have a grudge against it. Its iconic and a classic . Performance wise, It's just not at same level as the 6.5CM.
#1 Once again absolutely nothing to do with this tread
#2 It's called "Physics" not science
#3 Long Range is not set in stone, what is long range to some is not to others, It's not for you to decide for anyone what is and what is not "Long Range"
Your original post was #8, Nothing had been mentioned before that or after that until page 7 of a 6.5 vs 308 comparison as it does not pertain to this thread but that's what set the Needmoor ball in motion So as you said "Here we are" Again
Have a good Afternoon
*sigh* ok dude. You win. You got the last word. Hoping we can all get on with our lives now?
Enjoy your afternoon

LMAO, I just showed my boys that clip from Blazing Saddles.
That company considers the copies they are selling as "collectables". There's some of the same by P.O. Ackley on eBay for much, much, much, much less.
gotta' love Mel Brooks !
