Just curious if you have seen some of the kills with an 8.6 Blackout and solid bullets out of the 103 twist? Pretty impressive rotation in those where the petals on the bullet are actually turned 90* to the body of the bullet.
yes, at that velocity, my 16" 6.5 Creedmoor with the 1-7 twist MV is 2494. which puts it at 256,525 RPM. Not really sure what you are getting at, my statement was the difference in my rifle and an advertised 6.5 PRC. Using bonded, or solid bullets at faster twist rates is necessary. That...
That is true, doing the math on the difference of my 16' 6.5 Creed, and a 6.5 PRC is 14,195 rpm. Now cut down that 6.5 PRC to 18" and the rpm is almost identical to my shorty 6.5 Creed. I'd be interested in seeing some comparisons on actual animal kills, seeing what a bit more velocity does...
Check out the Q podcast with Kevin Brittingham. His 8.6 blackout is shooting 300g solid coppers in a 1-3 twist barrel. The animals he has killed with it, in subsonic and supersonic is impressive. I think that he said they are spinning around 500k rpm. If you look at his Fix in 6.5 Creed, it...
Look at a 7 prc. the newer cartridges have better performing bullets, pretty accurate for factory ammo as well. The older classic cartridge choices are all good, but if you are going to buy something specific for this hunt, I would want something that is inherently accurate, and if you...
Ended up getting a cheap ass Trybe Defense chassis for it for now, until they get the RokStock made for the mini action, shooting 108 ELDM's great little shooter. Shot out to 600, just need to chrono, and build a profile for it. Looking forward to seeing what this little rifle can do.
I'll throw out Gunwerks L1 Class in Cody WY, been thinking of it myself, they show one on April 15th for $1350. Not too bad of a price, I'm sure they are good!
Ditto on the 364C. I have two of them that i use, I'm 6'4" and they work great to glass or shoot off of. My buddy that is 5'8" uses the LS-324 and like that one for his height. Had bought them on Amazon, but ebay seems cheaper right now...
I have found the same for a lot of companies. Very generous of these companies to offer something for Vets, and first responders as well. In this day and age, every little bit helps!!
