You're very quiet there Jabba. Don't worry. I'll answer the question to you for everyone on the Board. The fact of the matter is that Jabba made that shot with a .338 Lapua or RUM, which has almost identical ballistics, built on a Remington 700 action. I've seen your bragging posts about it before.  Thanks for proving our arguement again about how choosing a BALLISTICALLY ADEQUATE CALIBER can lead to an accurate shot. You're a prime example of why guilty defendants are advised to take the "5th Amendment" to avoid self-incrimination. I'd call you stupid, but that would be an over-the-top insult to stupid people.  | |||

RC, just can't admit it worked. 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, 6.5-284, .260 Rem all can kill the $hit out of animals. Nobody ever argued that the Grendel trumped all the others listed. The fact is the Grendel in capable hands killed the crap out of a mature Mulie at 493 yards, FACT. All RC's babbling is just his personal opinion. Just like my opinion of a f-class bolt rifle in 6.5 Crudmoor is for pussies. All it is, is a opinion. I shoot a 6.5-284 which is tried and proven in competition, time and time and time again. You don't see me ramming the 6.5-284 down anyones throat. I could care less about pics of "Ringing steel" especially at 600 measly frinkn yards. Anyone with any trigger time at all can do that. Hell, give me ten minutes on a range and one of my rifles and I can have a drunk girl scout ringing steel at a grand, if she even has a ounce of common sense God gave her. It's all frikn stupid, go play with your Crudmoor and I'll go play with my rifles and I can careless how you shoot it, what load you shoot, how great you think you are with it, what you shoot it at or how far you want to attempt shooting something with it. -------------------------------------------- Nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home. | |||

Another thing WTF is all this talk about respect for the animal, it's a frikn deer. I think in the big picture of things, a poor shot on a deer around here is the last frikn thing it's worried about, last in line to the coyotes, bears, bobcats and mtn. lions killing it in it's youth. Then the hard winters, the coyotes and the mtn. lions killing it while it's a adult. Disease and not to mention a 3/4 GMC four wheel drive at 60 mph(Wonder WTF the energy would be on that?) Would of, could of, should of. Fact is the shot went off perfect as planned and if it wouldn't have, there was 24 more rounds in the mag and two other long range rifles with guys on the trigger more than capable and willing to jam his A$$ in the dirt. Frikn redundant! -------------------------------------------- Nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home. | |||

Frikn redundant! After reading 6 pages of garbage, this comes out. Way to go. Glad you like to shoot long range, because if you keep this up, no one will be shooting game animals. You long range guys are amazingly skilled, but your ethics need some work, by my estimation at least. Your tag line is quite appropriate, as you have missed the point that I think most see. | |||

 Nice post LOSS. You seem to be adopting the right posting attitude  I especially like the "Crudmoor" and "drunk schoolgirls" references. I was sorry to see the return of "Skitzo" though in your last post.  | |||

None of this means jack anyway! Really RC, do you think a deer is going to die any different next year? 6.5 Grendel or .375 Ultra Magnum, dead is dead. Do you really think I'm going to put my boots on any different thinking about how people feel about this post? Do I really give a FUK about other peoples shooting abilities? My abilities at long distance have nothing to do with anyone other than I, it's a game of perfection with myself. No others need apply, if I have to go searching for other peoples approval on the frikn internet then there would be a real issue. Half of this BS, is for a reaction any way. The only thing that triumphed in this thread was boredom and that burnt itself out 150 posts ago. Talks cheap anyway, I think I'll go kick my bird dog and drink a cold one. -------------------------------------------- Nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home. | |||

It takes someone who knows what they are doing to MAKE the shot, and it sure doesn't require a jug-sized case burning a pound of powder in front of some mini-missle to be accurate at extended ranges, either. But what do I know? I've only killed well into three figures of big game, and many of those were with cartridges in Contenders firing measly bullets at pedestrian speeds. Maybe I'd better check to see if any of those animals are still alive and making light of my "inadequate" cartridge selection... As to the ranges of my shots, I rarely shoot at game beyond 300 yards, but my cartridge choices can easily handle paper and steel targets at more than double that range (and more) and still turn in stellar performance. And I don't have to have an rc-approved "ballistically adequate" cartridge to do so, either.

No way Bobby Tomek! You accomplished all that without RC's advice and coaching? Without the use of a 6.5 Crudmoor.

Yep you've shown the world what you are. First rate indeed. I admire a man that aspires to be number one and you have progressed well.

I thought about the 6.5 Grendel when building a new AR for deer hunting. Decided that I don't need the range in an AR platform and already have a very accurate Mauser in .264 Win Mag for places where range is interesting. So for the 200 yards shots I see, the 6.8 SPC II was good enough for the AR whether it be for deer or 'Yotes. My choice ... whatever you choices are ... enjoy them!

He probably used an open sighted 45-70 or 30-30 like the rest of us use at those ranges. | |||

Well that said if Browning feels the need to have such folks on the payroll,I'll never purchase one. Adequate?In whose eyes? Many a shot has been made at long range due to shooter skill,and knowledge of the caliber he holds in his hands.There are folks in uniform making shots with inadequate calibers, as you say,at ranges most only wish they could shoot at,myself included. After reading all this,I never heard you respond to the quote that had the most common sense "Smack's brother killed a Deer with 1 shot and the bullet exited. You claim the cartridge used is inadiquate for the task at hand, yet the results indicate that the cartridge was perfectly adequate."

\ 100% agreement. Browning must like superhero wannabes. Doer of no wrong. Slayer of evil inadequate cartridges. He who sits on a pedestal. Let me not forget Ego, Machismo and Bravado? I shot a mature whitetail buck the other day (162# field dressed) with my 338-06 and it ran farther (125 yards) than the dead deer that spawned this thread. Is it inadequate also? Oh yeah, the shot distance.. a pitiful and pathetic 30 yards. Is that OK? Or did I do something wrong all knowing wise one? Dripping sarcasm BTW. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Sounds like something was inadequate. Don't believe it was the cartridge so shot placement is the likely culprit. Perhaps you need to spend a little less time in cyberspace and a little more time at the range. Whatta you think? Aim for the exit hole | |||
|
| One of Us |
Read above, dripping sarcasm. Shot placement was right where I wanted it. Through the ribs, behind shoulders, front quarters not ruined. The blood trail was good enough for even a range junkie to follow. | |||
