Being one of the first shooters, he made it look easy, which made all of the other shooters look "bad" by comparison. The truth is, hitting a target over 5000 feet away is extremely difficult and the fact that he hit it twice in a row really IS quite impressive.
@@mancaveedc7596I think that was a bit of a self depreciating joke. It didn’t seem like either Hornady shooter shot long range and they knew it. Just having fun.
I was not successful with a 6.5 creed either. It had enough steam to get there but dope becomes erratic. However I was able to hit 1 mile with a 7SS on the 4th shot.
I was excited to see the forum was Clinton House. In 2023 that reprobate Mike Sexton talked me into 1760 within 5 shots handling a factory-vanilla Sako S20 flying 6.5 PRC handloads, sighted through an Arken 24x. He treated us like Marine boot campers, and it worked! Seems like Team 'fueled by' Hornady may need some fresh meat. Haha! Great forum, keep it up.
Absolutely some great folks down there. Mike met up with me for half a day and got my feet wet at 1,000 yards with my .308. He definitely helped me to shoot more accurately in the hours that I had with him. I plan on heading back before too long for a refresher and learn some more.
I dislike 6.5CM, i just do. But it is a Mile with a short action cartridge, don’t expect it to do it unless your Mark&Sam (?) from Australia. It is a great sub 1100 caliber tho for new shooters or competitors.
Got the Zeiss shirts, gifts & promo material. Got the spotting scope and officials to call it. Got all the streaming & presentation gear. Got all the competitors & all their gear. Got the Zeiss competition gifts. "Hey who brought the spray paint?..... guys?...Anyone have $7 to go to the hardware store?....."
Would've been nice if it was consistent and for everyone, honestly pointless unless it's every shot from every person. Could save a little and not add target hits, just the missed shots.
@@XRING so they were that far off. Not a good look at all, especially for the 'sponsored professionals'. I'm not saying I could make those shots, but I don't do it for a profession.
I’m enjoying watching this series and will continue to watch. I’ve been a bit surprised (probably shouldn’t be) to see some ungodly nice equipment and then some pretty unsound fundamentals. I was really cheering for Sandra and expected a lot after they said she was a Kahles shooter. While she wasn’t quite slapping the trigger, there was definitely no follow through. Some of the guys that couldn’t quite get a hit on target have grouped ridiculously well, and I know it’s very difficult to spot your own misses and correct for yourself under time constraints (especially in the rain). Regardless, great shooting and a very fun watch.
Very cool episode. Best way to learn long range shooting is to train with Ray/ Xring and Gary/ Paramount at the XP Academy. Hopefully one day I’ll get to come out. And try the mile. I sent you a email asking for some suggestions. As always good work
I really never realized how few rounds will stay supersonic at a mile 300 PRC and 338 LPM are about the only factory loads making the trip, and they're just barley do'in it (using Hornady Match numbers)
The 6.5 prc will stay super out to a mile and has less recoil than 300 prc, 300 wm or 338. It actually outperforms the 300prc and 300wm past 500m. I'm not sure about the 338 I'd have to look into it.
@@Thekodezone Per my original post, using FACTORY Hornady ammo numbers the 147 gr Hornady Match 6.5 PRC calculated with ShootersCalculator using a G7 bc of .351 and a muzzel velocity of 2910 (all from Hornady website) the 6.5 PRC will go transonic at 1700 yard, 60 yards short of a mile!!!
Why do shooters think a 6.5 cm with factory loads is capable of shooting these distances and why would they shoot on camera without knowing their dope? Some of the 300 and 338 shooters were impressive.
Even 6.5 factory is definitely capable of getting out there consistently enough, but it did look like these guys had no dope or even no experience at that range at all. Might be shooting into space or into the dirt. Kind of embarrassing. Not sure why they volunteered for this.😅
Yes, I think the 6.5 shooters were inexperienced at this and the factory hornadys are just not the best. They're actually quite slow. Berger 140s would have definitely been better.
Mr. Wilson’s 6.5 SAUM might have been too small of bore to spot shots? 30 Cals seemed to do fine from camera view. Fun line-up of shooters tho. Thank Ray!
Should do a series where people can come in and pick from a selection of rifles, then compete. NOT bring their own. There are a lot of people that can shoot, but do not have access to the tools. I was top shot in my company in the Army, and would love to try some long distance target practice, but I can not afford to buy a rifle of that quality.
@@williamsonnie9935read this comment before getting to him, and I was expecting like, closing the bolt while still hunting for the target through glass. Closing the bolt before even getting on the gun, and then finger on the trigger while getting settled and adjusted is wild
Long range to me was killing a ground hog @500 yards with my 22.250 Remington 700. A mile is insane 😮😅 I loved every minute and thank you for sharing. .338 Lapua is awesome!!
The first guy is a comedian. how could he look more amatuer and not prepared for the first 45 seconds, and then still get the job done. Inwas acutally laughing it was so funny.
Ge, I did this same shot with my 303 British with a flip up stock site when I was 12 years old! I was instructed how to make the shot by my father who was a spotter that transmitted the aim info through his Navajo code talker to the off shore destroyers. He was the real soldier on the island of Sipan. Unlike the movie he lived to the age of 72.
“ let me just close the bolt before i even get down on the gun” great trigger finger discipline also.. i hate to be that guy in the comments section but dang for a “pro” shooter that’s interesting
@@ericrumpel3105 right!! The finger in the trigger well was the worst for me I run some pretty light triggers and he was moving around a bunch an I’m just waiting for an ND
After the Black guy shot. Nobody made any scope corrections or adjustments. Only at the beginning they make adjustments. Interesting Video. Thanks X Ring.
Thanks Brian and thanks for watching. Not everyone will dial the correction . Many shooters will hold the correction in the reticle if they spot the miss.
6.5 CM 140 eldm factory load out of a gas gun is gonna drop 28-30mil at 1 mile. If that’s not insane enough, the windage with a touch of wind could go up to 2 mil, not to mention gas gun usually groups worse than the bolt gun. If that lady ever hits the target with that setup, she is the true winner of the game
There's a guy who did the LRSU Milk Jug challenge with a 22" 6.5 Grendel AR-15 on 3rd shot at 1500yds. I couldn't believe it but he did it. Much higher altitude though at 6300ft. He 1st-round connected with his 7mm SAUM after just turning the barrel on too, at either 1500 or a mile. They have video of all if it.
Crosswinds are a bugaboo - not only does a crosswind at any point on the flight path deflect the bullet, but if the crosswind is consistent, it continues accelerating the bullet laterally the longer the bullet flight, so that the dispersion grows both angularly and dynamically with distance, in a horizontal arc. Hats off to long-range shooters.
6.5 at that distance I bet the bullets became hyper unstable due to passing subsonic. I love my 6.5 but it's the wrong tool for this particular range IMO. Fantastic episode!! Can't wait for the next
That’s mostly a myth, unless you are running the ragged edge of stability in the first place. The problem is the internet makes people think the creed is some magic cartridge. You cannot beat physics, large front surface area and heavy calibers will dominate beyond 1,000 everytime. A 6.5 anything has no business for any sort of serious work at a mile.
@@SigmaBallistics what is a myth? The bullet becoming unstable as it passed through the sound barrier as it slows down?? I have heard that heavier magnum rounds are effected less by this issue with lighter bullets.
@@Z33Garage it's a myth that most bullets will just become unstable and start tumbling upon transitioning into subsonic. This is rarely an issue, unless like I said, the bullet is very poorly stabilized in the first place. I doubt the issue with the 6.5's connecting to the mile target in this video was related to tumbling, just mostly lack of experience and a very poor choice for ELR.
@@SigmaBallistics ahh ok fair. I have heard from several UA-cam LR guys that generally you want to stay within the sonic flight of the bullet for best effect. I agree the 6.5creedmor is probably not the best choice for a round for a mile compared to a magnum cartridge.
@@Z33Garage ideally you want to stay above mach 1.2, below that is when a little bit of transonic unpredictability occurs with ballistics solvers. Only workaround is a custom drag profile from a radar or some tweaking with DSF factor in the solver.....but with ELR you have no choice but to deal with it. Best workaround that we know of is a tried and true projectile that is known to transition well, and to up the stability to around an sg of around 2 (even up to 2.5-3 with solids). but yeah, the biggest thing in ELR is being able to spot your misses, this where the big 375-416 caliber projectiles really shine, they produce so much more splash than a 30 cal or even a 338 for that matter. the difference is massive. if you can't see where you last impacted you are just pissing in the wind.
Reading some of the comments, I realize that we have PRS shooters who enjoy their own rules and breaking them whenever they can and then there’s three gun shooters we don’t shoot long range. The 65 Creedmoor is not a extended long range gun. Let’s be fair it is clear that the shooters using it, we’re doing it to use their sponsors equipment regardless of the outcome. Also, I hear some of the shooters we’re not all following the same set of rules.
I thought this range looked super familiar. I have been to that range before. If you have the chance, yall should go. It's a great range with some really talented instructors.
Really shows why the big 30s are more popular amongst the ELR competitors. Didn’t see over half the impacts from the 6.5s and missed maybe 1-2 from the 30s
@X-RING great start to the series. One thing I’d like to see is a more standard/consistent list of questions asked regarding the rifles. Ie: chassis, action, barrel length, velocity, etc.
6.5 Needmore, not sure why these guys would use that caliber for that far of a distance , I would think they are all pretty knowledgeable & shoot a lot, but I really don't know what I'm talking about, I'm just a hunter
Dwayne Thompson's rig needs a longer barrel in order to even reach a mile. Even diehard 6.5 Creedmoor fans will tell you that while the cartridge can reach a mile, its inconsistent with a hit probability about 60% because the cartridge is subsonic.

Could save a little and not add target hits, just the missed shots.
I’m not following . All strings are recorded start to finish.
If there isn’t a marker it’s because no one saw the bullet impact.

Watch episode 2
6.5 is just fine. These people don’t know their dope.

why did they even bring those little guns for this fight
I am sure it can be done with a 6.5 Creed...but boy they are making it hard on themselves
Being a non shooter (at the moment) I conclude the small 6.5 is just too small to see impacts and may be a poor choice for this competition.
