Finding books with any detail on guns, where that detail isn’t retarded is difficult. I’d way rather read, “Joe Blow shot him in the face”, than “Steathily moving the safety on his Glock 19 to “Fire”, Joe Blow instinctively centered the Russian’s face with a 300 grain .40 caliber hollow point at 98 yards. The headless corpse did three somersaults before finally coming to rest.”
Or just a little play on words, by the Author.
Heck, when it came out, people were touting that it would shoot flies off of a T-Rex at 3,000 yards.
So hitting a target (size not defined) at 1,800 with a 6.5 Manbun Magnum is kinda a step backwards.
Especially when 12 year old girls are shooting a Tikla T3 Lite in 7mm Rem Mag.
Next thing you'll know they'll make a magnum version of the 22LR.

Little known Creedmoor facts
1. Gun shop employees who drop 6.5mm bullets on the floor, yell out, "Creedmoor!" to ward off evil spirits.
2. In mathematics, multiplying pi times two is called 'a Creedmoor', or a factoring of Creedmoor.
3. Zak Bagans, star of Ghost Adventures, wears a 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge around his neck as a good luck charm.
4. In several African languages, Creedmoor is a word meaning 7.
5. The Scottish have long claimed the Americans stole the name Creedmoor. Scotland boasts not one, but two Creed Moors. The moors are mystical places where magic and evil are found.
6. The Creedmoor was the name of a car made by US inventor John Alexander Creedmoor. His company closed in the early 1900s after only 6.5 cars were made.
7. Edgar Allan Poe died never knowing the joy of a Creedmoor.

More Creedmoor facts:
1. Dipping an unfired Creedmoor cartridge into polluted water will make it drinkable and sweet tasting.
2. The mysterious, curative properties of the Creedmoor are being studied by scientists. There is mounting evidence that global warming, air pollution in China (and elsewhere), and even poor driving skills can be reduced or eliminated using Creedmoors.
3. Russia and China are trying to copy the Creedmoor cartridge in order to produce their own version. So far, they have been unsuccessful.
4. The strange disappearances of many people, including several celebrities, have been linked to the Creedmoor cartridge. A partial list includes Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, and Jimmy Hoffa. They were directly involved in moving or distributing sample cartridges to influencial people and nations friendly to the US, as far back as the early 1900s. Ancient alien theorists have speculated that WWII might have been prevented had Amelia Earhart managed to deliver her Creedmoor cargo to Australia in 1937. Positioning the cartridges in Oz would have frightened Japan and they would not have attacked Pearl Harbor.
Australia has long been a staunch US ally. Theorists suggest that the loss of an unknown number Creedmoor cartridges and two rifles in the Asia-Pacific region resulted in one of the largest and most expensive search efforts ever mounted by the United States. Amelia Earhart is alleged to have had several crates of Creedmoor cartridges and two Stevens-Niedner rifles in her plane. They were to be delivered to the Australian government and used as a deterrent to the Japanese.
5. In the television show, Star Trek: The Next Generation, the phrase 'Resistance is futile' was actually stolen from the US ambassador's speech to the Emperor of Japan, prior to WWII. The phrase spoken by Joseph Grew to Hirohito was,
"Your Majesty, I regret that any action taken by Japan will result in much sorrow and loss of life. I implore you to walk the high road, or you will force the US into acting to protect its interests. Resistance is futile, Sir."
At the time, the Creedmoor was being studied by Dr. Robert Oppenheimer. From it, came the atomic bomb.
