RE: 350 yds.......

[Brad4065]

Can't beat the .308......one for one on the year. Been a slow year for Coyotes.
I guess it's slow because they took all my ducks and chickens......assholes.
{ETA: about 350 yards +/-.......and cold as f$ck}
Cheers!!!

You can drive nails with this thing at 500 yds.

'Yotes gonna 'yote". Glad you got some payback. Now you need more.

Nice shooting. The one I ever had a chance at was when visiting a friends farm. I had my rifle slung when the critter broke out of the woods about 150 yards away. My buddy said “shoot him” and I swung the rifle from back to front like I’d do with a running deer, and when the crosshairs passed his nose, I pulled the trigger. Got me a solid foot’s worth of tail left on the ground and the ‘yote found an extra gear and was up and over the hill in seconds. Made for a nice souvenir and my buddy looked at me like I was buying the beer that night and said “they’re a might quicker than you’d think”.

Is it ok if there is some blood in the picture? 3 point mule deer (3 on each side) 420 yard shot. One shot, made it about 20 yards before piling up with the picture I'll post if it's ok. Rifle. Savage McMillan FCP 10. It started life as a 308 (I bought it new) after about 8000 rounds and shooting match's. I personally screwed a rock creek match 260 Remington barrel on it. My friends call it the laser now. sitting on top of it is a NightForce NXS 5.5x22 held down with a Nighforce rail and NightForce rings. AAC can hanging on the front of it

Of course it's OK.

Despite many of the newer “wonder cartridges,” the .308 is still a hammer. Hunter Africa a year and a half ago and harvested some BIG plains game with .308- devastatingly effective.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 308. I've introduced several people into long range shooting, when they ask what rifle to get I suggest the 308. They say, but that's not what you shoot. I just kinda chuckle and say you will learn way more about reading wind with a 308. I'm really glad I started with a 308. It taught me a lot. If you don't know what a 260 Remington is. It's a 308 case necked down to 6.5mm bullet, just like the 243 is a 308 case necked down to a 6mm bullet. At a match several years ago I hit 3 out of 5 shots at a mile. 1760 yards with the 260. My friend and shooting partner at this match is an awesome shot and was shooting his 308, still shooting it made zero hits at a mile. I know I just took this to a different level. out to about 500 yards the 308 hits harder. I killed an elk at 475 yards when mine was a 308. One shot, one kill

Of course it's OK.

Thanks for the OK. Just didn't want to offend or freak anyone out.

For those of you that remember NoHair. He was my best friend and passed away 6 1/2 years ago now. I'm still very involved with his family. His son is my little buddy. Not really that little anymore. LoL. I think he was 15 when his dad passed, he's 22 now. With all of that said, he was the shooter not me. I've taken him deer hunting 5 times now and he's gotten 4 deer. He's used my rifle for every one of them closest was 310 yards, farthest was 530 yards. I know this picture is going to make the ground look flat but it's not, the shot was 420 yards up hill. Probably a 35 to 40 degree slope. this is how we found the deer

That is some very helpful information. .243 is also one of my favorites, but I'm probably going to look into the .260. I'm good out to 1000 yds with the .308.....just ran out of real estate to test further. And you are correct.....I've shot tracers {good ones....} and you can watch the wind move the bullet. I did the same with the MR556 with 416 upper/suppressed, but that thing to 500 yards, moved all over the place.

What is your set up on the .260? Thanks for the info....learn new things every day.

Cheers!!!!

Rifle info is in post #7. I think I screwed the 260 barrel on about 10 years ago. If I was going to do it again now, I'd go with the 6.5 Creedmoor. The case is shaped just a little different, better neck angle and you can get about a grain more powder in it. I hand load for my bolt guns

Nice set up!!!!!

What's the suppressor?
What's the weight?......8-9 lbs????

Last.....I've heard people rave about the 6.5 C.

Cheers!!!!!! and thanks for the info.

 

[Elkaholic]

The suppressor is a AAC 762-SDN-6 I actually won this suppressor at a match in 2014 I just looked, I sighed the form (4) 11-2-14 it was approved 2-10-15

I'm laughing with you about your guess on the weight. the way it sits in the picture it's about 17 pounds
