Tales from the creedmoor aisle

[group therapy]

I hear that from many, not just Creedmoor shooters but its the new flavor. I think the hunting shows and you-tubers promote this kid of nonsense, part of the reason why I cant watch those kill em in a fenced in food plot on private property with a guide from a stand programs.

BTW: I shot a Squirrel at 997 yards, while running (me not the Squirrel) using the bottom hashmark on my 32X scope with my RPR in 6 CM. I wish someone was there to see it !

ME TOO!!!

I think the "creedmore Aisle" is where the long range hunting TV shows get most of their material.

You mean those shows where there's a guy a hundred yards away that gets cued when to shoot and then the sound is edited out?

And busting balls is what any creedmore thread is about! Love it!

Yes I shoot a custom built one and love it. But I still love to hear the “ You Know” guys stories at the gun shops!

Why is it when ever there's a Creed bashing I'm tagged?

Even when i was a kid i could look at a cartridge out of the box and kinda tell something about it. Like a 308 is smaller than a 30-06 and a 7-08 was smaller than a 7mm mag. When i look at a creedmoor i wonder what magical abilities it has over a 260 or 6.5x47.

You can buy a CM rifle off the rack at Cabela's, grab a box of target ammo, throw a hundred buck scope on it and go shoot an inch or less at a hundred yards off of a Caldwell lead sled. Instant gratification, that's what it's all about in today's world. Along with ballisticians and marketing gurus, I bet Hornady hired psychologists. Can't fault them for that. They're in business to make money.

Those other two cartridges? They require work, persistence, patience and dedication. For the majority of Creedmoor shooters it relieves them of all that.



Off topic. Listen in on the crossbow aisle, 80 yard shots with a 400 fps Xbow, nothing to it.

How about the stories about the .357 magnum that can disintegrate an engine block, or the 45ACP that can kill a guy if he gets hit in the thumb with one. Shotguns that just have to be pointed in the general direction to destroy anything that a way. Candy bars that wont melt in your hand. Like I said, the Creedmoor is just the new flavor.

I'm holding out for the 6.5 NITRO EXPRESS. The Creedmoor just sounds like it would be something The Village People would shoot.

Dusty, what are you doing in the Creedmoor aisle? Is this a coming out of the closet moment?

We love you anyway!

 

[jonbearman]

I got me one of them there creedmoor's and after a long practice session over a half hour , I shot me one of them satellites right out of the sky. Then the bullet bounced off the satellite and hit the moon leaving a mile wide crater. Jeesh what a lot of bs,LOL

If it was in a Cabela's, it could have been worse, the Columbia sportswear aisles (all twenty of them).

Dude I was there when guys came back from The 'Nam with stories about scorpions as long as your...... leg. And women that.... and leeches that..... and most famously true stories about 50BMG's taking that guy's leg OFF without ever hitting him.

A near miss with Ma Deuce would "create a vacuum and suck your breath right out" and yer buddy better be right there to blow it back in



or you died...

I shot a Cape buffalo at 1000 yards with my 6.5 creedmoor. I hit him on the tip of the tail and leveled him. I used my Bdc holdover in my NC Star scope.

 

[5spd]

That's why good scopes have a dial on the left side marked in yards. Just turn the dial to the yardage and shoot....

I actually hunted with a guy and thats exactly what he did more than once. A coyote was 600 yards ranged & laying on a hill side. He turned his side "range wheel" and and hit about 30 feet below it. I just laughed and rolled my eyes when he said "I dialed it in".

WOW! You guys really should start putting Salt on your bullets just to preserve the meat until you can get them there animals.

Stan, Glad to see you have plenty of work. You can probably chamber one in your sleep.

The 45 acp thing is real

You can do the same thing with say a 223, 22/250 6br, 243, 308, 270, 284, 30/06, hell any cartridge. But creeds come with their own cool aid.
