Those three pricks get down and dirty with each other’s barrels big time. Hoppes No 9 and they scissor away.

This video will explain why, for anatomical reasons, you guys will talk a little shit on the forum, you will talk shit behind my back, but you will never say of this shit to my face.

Honestly @Tussock I actually believe you have valid well informed opinions on hunting related techniques and quipment most of the time from what I have read. Let's get this straight, I don't know ya from a bar of soap but your the one who seems like a moaning little drama queen in this thread man, take a joke, take a hint and stop taking this shit so serious.

If your whole keyboard warrior facade is just a joke, well than its on me..

As for the cartridge in question, what a little rocket ship! Is anyone offering a factory rifle in that chambering?

Yip old tussock back at his old tricks........you love to wind everyone up then try and reverse the negative feedback. If only you had some post history to quote.....oh funny how your entire history here was wiped. Shaping up for the same treatment from what I see.

I hear ya, and I don't. I did delete my post history, that is correct. Three times now in total. About 20,000 posts over three forums. My content, not the forums as it turned out. See the color of my name? It is green, not blue. I was a terrible "caretaker" just like I was a shit mod on FnH.

I will yield the point about thread hijacks. I have been bitching about this since about 2005, because the most fun we ever had with the widest range of people getting along, and the best atmosphere, was back when we were posting virtually everything in the same place. The more guys we got who could not cope with this, the more tedious things got. No going back I guess. This forum was originally designed to replicate that and again it was super popular and again, a bunch of guys who can't cope with no rules turned up (because it was comfy) to tell us what we were doing was wrong. Like panel rust I guess. To avoid the hassle, I will just start more threads.

This is not complicated. There are a bunch of guys here who will insult anyone who drifts away from their approved way of being. You either think and act like them, or you get insulted. You get this "But all this BS about proper rifle hold, bi-pods bla bla bla" or you get "To much follow through from a couple of pull throughs".

A hell of a lot of guys will not post because they might cop this. The guys who are doing this are obviously big fish in whatever tiny pond they come from, that they think they are special and get to decide what is cool and what is not. Somehow they feel they can outright insult people with impunity. I agree with people ignoring this, it is just not my style. I'm not used to it frankly, this type of man literally crosses the street to avoid me in real life.

Years ago a bunch of guys who like to publicly hated me on the forum all stayed at my house, invited by another member. They were all very pleasant and we got on fine, because in person all this evaporates because they are acting. 24/7. The big talk evaporates in person. I have never had any trouble fronting up in person and talking exactly as I do here. Like anywhere, I will insist if you are to be insulting people and trying to dominate them, you start with me. I find it more peaceful this way.

Like anywhere, there are a bunch of people here I have the utmost respect for and who I would go on another expedition with without hesitation. Like anywhere, there is a ton of dead wood and useless flesh. This is why I like doing things that are hard. These fuckers will never turn up because there is no chance to try look cool by insulting people while doing nothing.

So fair is fair, I will cut the thread hijacks out. The guys with the insults and snide comments, I will continue to point out they are up to FA.

20,000 posts........ you don't have something better to do? don't know If I qualify as your "keyboard worrier" (spelling deliberate) type, cause I am guilty of hanging bait from time to time, but your post does make it sound that you believe you are an intimidating hard man that scares people across the road (your real name isn't Bad Bad Leroy Brown is it?) In real life, I can be a very difficult bastard, and I cross the road for no one, one or six, it just won't happen.

You really can't take what gets put on forums to heart, we are all different and have differing perception about everything, it really does sound like, it is actually you with the biggest problem, or you like to wear your Klingon cloaking device and go fishing, here.

Of course, my perception could be way off, it's a long way to see down from my own ivory castle you know.

(Stamps foot!) I'M OUTA HERE!!!! (flounces out the door)

This thread didn't need to be filled up with all this f...ing bullshit! Why didn't/don't you start your own thread on holding shit!

Because its an effing conversation... this effing paranoia about thread creep does not mirror real life. Real conversations ebb and flow and dicks who throw tantees about not remaining close to original subject get dealt with in real life. What a winaa - are you sure you aren't missing a couple of letters?

The irony appears completely lost on those who want to wank on about 270s and waikato beer in every friggin thread.. queuing up here to bitch about thread creep???

Unlike those dicks there might have been some value in a discussion about bipods and forend control... irrespective of the original post..

Develop some ability to communicate and skilfully turn the conversation back to where you would like it to go rather than stamping your little feet....

for pities sake...

Any comments around factory offerings?

Pump some through Edendale mate

For @deepsouthaussie to my knowledge there are no factory offerings unfortunately. Because a thread can come back on topic. It should be possible to get commercial handloads done for a similar price as ammo, or premium ammo (which it is better than). I never liked that I had to send my rifle off for this but it worked Ok. I got a very slow load that was extremely accurate the one time I tried it.

As for this whole thread, Sidney is right. Conversations wander. I can't picture someone at the pub sitting around a table telling people what they can talk about when, but then I don't go to the pub much. Have we not had this entire discussion before? Have I not been bollocked by mostly the exact same people in exactly the same way on another forum? And what happened? We set this up and you all left a place where every section has a mod enforcing these rules you like so much.
You guys followed everyone who was sick of you over here once you had completely dominated the discussion there, and thus killed it. You can go back. The mods are no doubt still there telling people where they are allowed to post.
@257weatherby I live in a small town where some people hang their heads and look around nervously because petty dominant types will pick on them. There are other people who are petty dominant like chickens, and they do all the pecking. They walk with their head up and they like to look people up and down. For whatever reason, the shy timid ones who get picked on find me approachable and the petty dominant ones seem to literally run away.

Just an observation.

All good, just tyre kicking anyway.. While I really like the Idea of a 6mm running high velocities with decent BC pills and low recoil, I think my next rifle is going magnum

I think I need to post a naval history comment to lighten the mood.
Seems a bit grim.

@Wingman, got any updates fella? Interested on how it's all behaving.

There's a guy selling factory chambered "Lynx" straight pull rifles on Trademe - and I've noticed the 6.5x47 is one of the chamberings available. Pricey, but they look like they could be a bit of fun.
