@Caw

Nice, i expected you to be more the type that shoots bambi not a buck.

300 yards with same gun.

[Belt-Fed (Rick)]

450 yards.

[RedAngel]

Thanks @Belt-Fed How does the 7.62x39 compare to those? Ya got one to throw in the picture?

[JF89 (Joseph)]

Not bad , the 6.5 is tempting…

Thanks @Belt-Fed How does the 7.62x39 compare to those? Ya got one to throw in the picture?

except for the 300 blackout, not even close.

7.62x39 is a close quarter round close to the .300 blackout in performance. Its a commie round though… you dont want to support communism, do you?

[RedAngel]

@Caw

you dont want to support communism, do you?

Pretty sure my tax dollars are already doing that

[JF89 (Joseph)]

.300 win mag and 6.5 look pretty evenly matched in terms of trajectory and range but the 6.5 has close to.308 ballistics. Guys shoot these consistently out past a 1000 yards. The .300 win mag is a beast of a round but it kicks like a mule.

[RedAngel]

I like the idea of the long range a lot but not really wanting to be kicked by a mule. I’ve been kicked by a Percheron mare protecting her foal and still have the dent in my leg to prove it.

You dont want to support it anymore than you already do , right?

Youre being forced with taxes but its another thing entirely to support them like this.

[RedAngel]

Are you saying if I buy 7.62x39 ammo that I am supporting commies?

I fired hot rounds put of a savage and it banged like @LonewolfMcQuade s mom, let me tell you what.

It does pack alot more punch though, it puts elk down very nicely.

Of course, especially if its surplus. Think about America.

[Belt-Fed (Rick)]

Now if you want something that is lightweight, then the 6.5 Grendel is the way to go. it’s on the ar 15 frame. Another Diamondback

[JF89 (Joseph)]

@Belt-Fed

6.5 Grendel

Most underated AR round, imo. @switchpod is into 6.5 grendel too. Its cheap to buy in bulk in comparison to the 6.5 creedmoor or .308 too.

[Belt-Fed (Rick)]

@RedAngel

but not really wanting to be kicked by a mule.

The creedmore has slightly less kick than the 308

I hadn’t craoked a doe in a long time. I don’t take pics of them when I do. I shoot them in the head. no meat wasted but it makes for an ugly picture.

[Belt-Fed (Rick)]

@RedAngel

Ya got one to throw in the picture?

Yeah, I can take you one, back in a bit.

[JF89 (Joseph)]

@RedAngel

Well, I guess I am already supporting commies then.

What kind of AK?

[Belt-Fed (Rick)]

L to R 7.62x39, Grendel and creedmore.
