Thread: Real world ranges for 6.5 creedmoor

Yes that day was an important lesson.
I cant recall the ranges but from memory is was only 230m to 300m? Not a push by any means in regards to challenging shooting and the weather conditions were perfect. The strange part was once we switch sides I couldnt even explain how we were missing.. Im pretty sure I dumped a 5 shot mag and connected with nothing once we swapped. I think I was running the 6.5x47 Lapua barrel that day but very much the same ballistics as @Flyblown Creedmoor.
Some pics to help with the above description..

This was from my right hand comfortable position:





This from the left;





Hard to see just how much we were shooting up hill but this pic of Flyblowns Creedmoor in the left position gives some idea.. the drop off he was laying next to dissapears vertically of the edge with a massive drop so thst adds to the discomfort levels too



This is a pic looking back at the small mound we were shooting off.. you can see it drops away but it was also in a hole. Not the most natural prone position with such a twist and big arch in your back
