Principal: Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I think they should stick to optics...….

Why limit themselves to doing just one thing badly?

I tried to watch. I just can’t do it. Someone let me know how it ends

I’m pathetically old school; I’ll just stick with my .264 Winchester.

I’ve killed a lot of stuff with their optics with very minimal issues.

Yep, me too. Old is new again.

They made a long action magnum bolt face that approaches the thundering 6.5-06. Bravo vortex

No need to be defensive. If you think they are good, then by god they are good.

have you not seen the countless threads on here and all over the web talking about leupolds not dialing correctly? Your right vortex is not the only one.

I tried watching and skipped around through it. Was that video a parody of something? If not, holy shit.

What does this have to do with some of the vortex crew wildcatting a new 6.5?

Amateur hour...

 

[Savagenut]

First the 6 Gay Tiger (GT) and now this?

Puts a whole new spin on wildcats

Wow this looks like a freaking amateur hour marathon. RCC brass is hard as phuck out the gate as they do NOT anneal before shipping. It gives poor seating consistency, and can split necks first firing due to this. I ran through some in my 300wsm and was far from impressed with their 5$/per piece brass. Pretty sure by the looks that case, they just necked down a 7mm blaser, maybe moved the shoulder ahead, and called it a 6.5 BC. It holds bout 82gr powder. It's a good balance. Has the 30° shoulder, long for caliber neck, too much taper in my opinion but maybe they took sone that out. Blackjack bullets just did a wildcat off this design called the 257 blackbird. Its just a straight necked down 7 blaser. I have everything but my barrel for that rifle, hope to have it smithed by my birthday in February.

I just don't need that much powder to move 6.5mm bullets, but I am sure someone else thinks they do. I wish them well, but I'll stick to the 6.5x284 and 6.5 PRC if I need something a bit faster than my 6.5 Creedmoor.

I agree, the saum/prc is about as efficient 6.5 for capacity and still gives 1200-1500 barrel life. My 257 blackbird is going on a 28" barrel, fairly heavy gun, it's a long range competition rifle, nightforce ELR stuff. 345g7 @ 3500 fps is what I'm hoping. It's a mission built rifle and will likely never be hunted with.

Seems like a solution to a non existent problem. The SAUM/PRC/Win mag/nosler/RPM seem to have the market covered for however much juice you think you need. For a 6.5 bore, anything past the RPM or 264 win mag case capacity sounds like it’s asking for problems. But then again it is vortex, maybe they don’t want you to dial their scopes...

I don't believe it's larger than 264wm/6.5rpm. It's just a shorter rebated magnum case off the 404 Jeffery. Basically a shortened 26 nosler to 2.2-2.3" case length.

The expected numbers I heard were 3300 with a 140 class bullet, a 264 win should top out between 3150 and 3200 with the same. I’d wager that it’s got more capacity.

I know guys pushing 156s @ 3200 w/ 264wm. My 6.5 saum will go 3200 w/ 140s and N565. My 6.5 Sherman max has 77gr capacity and it'll do 3300 w/ 140 Bergers. I bet it's in that 85gr capacity area. RCC brass is very strong stuff and will handle a lot of pressure, it's lower on capacity that external dimensions dictate due to their patented case head/webb design.
