Dude, that is just awesome -- the group and the fact that you had the grit to shoot under such conditions. Bravo!

Thx and I had 3 layers on, and I gotta say $110 for one set of Poly Pro undergarments are well worth the dough. Just don't sweat in em or your screwed.
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
Looks like conditions where I live. Not too tough to go out in the winter if one likes to shoot. One thing to remeber is that air is denser in the cold so wind will move a bullet more than in the summer.
I'd say nice shootin'...like the rig too. ;D I want to go this weekend...10 to 20 inches of snow expected here. Gotta dust off the snowshoes! See if the songdogs wanna digest some lead.
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
That's great shooting. My shivering would have tripped the trigger and I'd of never got close. ;D
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
Thank God I live in Georgia now! I was raised in Wisconsin, left there in 65 when I enlisted and never went back. Very nice shooting by the way.
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
Off of a bipod too. Nice shooting.
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
Are my assumptions correct that you're shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor?? I ordered a Cooper Montana Varmint chambered in this caliber last April and I finally got the call yesterday that it's ready for pick-up. Merry Christmas to me!! Are you shooting The Factory 120's,140's or hand loads. Nice rifle and shooting by the way!!
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
6.5 Creedmoor
308 LC 04 resized
41.8gr 4350 Velocity 2780
140gr Berger VLD Long Range Target .618 advertised BC
Seated to 3.008 which is just touching the lands
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
What's your barrel length and twist?? Mine is a 24 inch with 9 twist. I also plan on starting with the 140 Berger VLD. They currently shoot well out of my Savage F class 6.5/284, Sure would be nice to use the same bullet and powder (H4350) for both rifles. My rifle will be mostly be used for 300 yard prone matches on windy days. I look foreword to seeing moor range reports :D

Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
Might want to switch to Under Armour or Armour All...these materials work rather well AND keep you dry, even if you perspire.
Re: First 1k shoot 6.5 CM
Or buy some 100% silk from Cabela's, or even the silk/wool blend. Wonderful stuff, and not nearly that pricey.
Nice shootin'!
