260 Steyr
Okay i was talking to a friend of mine about doing some long range shooting on one of his pastures, and a guy overhears the conversation and says he has a .260 Steyr. Having never heard of the cartridge I ask him if it is a Steyr in 260 Rem. He says no, its is an Austrian Sniper Rifle that shoots a 288gr bullet that is only 13" low at 600yds zeroed at 200. I tell him he is smoking serious crack. Tell me my instinct is not at fault.

The only part I might disagree with is your comment that he is smoking serious crack.

I hink the little green men have landed their saucer in his back yard and are mainlining him on "absurdium".

Or look at it this way: Usually a 100% pure lab grade supply of any substance is extremely expensive because of the refinement costs. In this case you got a real bargain- 100% chemically pure B. S., for just the time it took to hear it.
