if you've ever had one of your friends all excited about owning a new 6.5 mm creedmoor,
and telling you that what ever rifle you own is just no longer the cutting edge of high tech...
you'll love this...spoof on the creedmoor rifle fad
keep in mind most of the guys that are so damn enamored by the 6.5 creedmoor,
don,t realize the new cutting edge 6.5 mm creedmoor,
is a mildly modified, 6.5 mm Swedish Mauser,
a cartridge,thats well over a 90 years old design produces almost identical ballistics.
add that too the fact that most of the guys who are thrilled with the 6.5 mm creedmoors potential for flat trajectory,
and low recoil, can,t consistently hit a coke can at 400 yards,
from a field position, if their lives depended on it!
yet they will go on,
for hours about the cartridges ability to hit targets at 1000 yards.
for a couple years I worked part time as a range officer and I helped train new security guards in proper pistol craft,
if you can drop into a sitting or prone position and put a hole in a coke can at 100 yards CONSISTENTLY, in under 7-10 seconds
with your hunting rifle,on the first shot, your skills are far above average.
trust me when I say that Ive had dozens of people that are excellent shots of a bench rest, try that and the vast majority have had zero or near-zero success.
yeah most experienced hunters get close or can do it occasionally, and with practice its not hard to do with a good rifle, but your average guy at the range....
your making a safe bet he can,t drop into a sitting or prone position and put a hole in a coke can in under 7-10 seconds
with his first shot.
