I totally agree. I wouldn’t trust myself shooting at 1500 yards on any animal. I know it can be done but I couldn’t do it

He claims he is using Hornady 129gr whitetail 6.5 creedmoor factory animal

Thank you, I didn’t know they were close

Yes, I’m trying to see what a 129gr interlock does at 920fps into a gel block.

Correct. I don’t want to have to shoot 1000 yards to recreate the ballistics of what the claimed range would be. After I get a few bullets into ballistic gel around 920fps I’ll never need this load again

I’ll have to do some research and see what I can find for data to start with

I don’t believe his friend at all. That’s what got me thinking about testing this. A 6.5 creedmoor, with the ammo he’s using, has almost 90 feet of drop at 1500 yards. The ballistics table for my bdc scope says that on 3 power, the bottom of the scope is 1100 yards. Using the drop...

So basically the ballistic table says that Hornady whitetail 129gr is doing 918 fps at 1500 yards. I can do the math and figure out a muzzle velocity to be at 918 at 50 yards. I just have no idea what powder to use. So far the only rifle I have to test this with is an 18” 6.5 Grendel.

I need a muzzle velocity of right around 950 for it to drop to 920 which would match what a 6.5 creedmoor would be at 1500 yards. I ran it all through my ballistics app. I have a ton of screen shots of the velocities I’ll need. But im more concerned with case fill, bullet actually exiting an...

That’s all the interesting stuff I’m trying to test. I’m just wondering if it’s smart to slow a light bullet down that far. I don’t need the rifle to cycle. I’ll probably turn the gas system off and use it as a single shot.

I totally agree, that’s why I’m trying to figure out how to test this without having to shoot at 1500 yards into a gel block. I just need to slow the bullet down to the speed it would be at 1500 yards

At 1500 yards, the 6.5 creedmoor has 90 feet of drop. I’m not looking to shoot that far or even use it for anything other than testing. I just need to load up a really slow batch of ammo that will fire from a rifle into a gel block. I’m just trying to see what the interlock bullet will do at...

So long story short, a friend of a friend is bragging about hunting at 1500 yards for deer with a 6.5 creedmoor. I don’t know about the truth of it but ballistics say it’s not wise. I don’t want to debate the story, I want to test the theory. After doing all the research in ballistics, his...

i have found then when I can’t find something I really need I end up ordering another one and when that gets delivered I find the one I was looking for

I bought a Hera arms stock and foregrip. I’m waiting on my sbr tax stamp so I can put it all together but I put the stock on my 6.8 spc for now so I can see how it is.

I will have to say, the longest hunts for me has always been alligator. Until the rule changes me and a few friends would get our 2 tags every year. Being in Florida, we can only hunt at night and we would usually spend 3-4 nights in a row out on the lake searching. Trying to fill 10 tags a...

I just bought 5 spare AR lowers

that happens in my house too. I have 4 spare ar-15 lowers in the safe

when I get it built I’ll post back on how it does. I have a bunch of pmags so I’ll be able to see if it works

Good point. I just always over think everything and then give myself too many choices. I opted for an ar-10 kit. I just ordered a lower and the parts to build it. Next I’m ordering an upper in 308 then an upper in 243. The 308 will give me the range for mule deer and easily cover all my...
