I don't have a question but I do have a brand-new-in-the-box pair of Zeiss 12X50 for the grand prize winner of the Cold Bore (same in the Cold Bow): Zeiss 12x50 SFL Binocluars! HERE

Ohhh boy.
I got a new 6 Creed ready for the streets.
Well steel that is

So looking at the 2025 cold bore challenge, each point "scored" gets your name in the hat for a drawing?

Well, I may need to tell my smith to hurry on my 6creed build… or the 7prc will have to do. Stoked to finally get in on this one.

Been looking forward to this! Maybe year three I’ll go 2 for 2.

Last year's post with the rules for reference.

Tempted to go beyond 600 but being 2.5+ hours and 150+ miles away from a shooting spot and needing two more days is a bit prohibitive...

I've got just enough of my tried and tried loads left for this before I work up a new batch with new lapua brass and hopefully a touch more speed

Will be the first go with the 6um, looking forward to it

I am intrigued! Should have load development for the 7PRC done by the time this starts.

Same here! Except with a 300WM! I think I have my load dialed, ended up not entirely where I intended, but looks promising! Just need to shoot a composite 10-20rd group to confirm

I got 7 groups with H1000 shot on Sat. All 7 groups are sub-MOA, just need to see if we can get a little more speed out of it. Just ordered an Ollin digiscope setup.

Can you qualify with multiple calibers?

No. Each person can only enter once.

No. Each person can only enter once.

Thank you

@Justin Crossley

1. Thanks for putting this together! Serious appresh!

B. Any idea on dates? I’m looking to schedule, and protect that time on my calendar.

Thanks!
