I have a Zermatt Arms TL-3 short action that I will someday build into a 6.5mm rifle that can have its bullet hit a one-gallon milk jug at 1600 yards. At least that's the dream. The action presently has a .473" bolthead on it because I thought I'd shoot only 6.5 Creedmoor or similar ammo through it. Should I put a .532" bolthead on it so I can shoot 6.5mmWSM or 6.5PRC ammo? Would the greater case capacity of the WSM give me greater range versus the lesser erosion to the throat that I know the Creedmoor would return?Rifle shooting is not even interesting until it's over 500 yards.
I go round and round with the 6.5's I used to think the 6.5CM was awesome, however as time has passed, I just can't find a good reason to get a 6.5 and put my .308's in the safe. (I actually have a reason for most of the guns I have, in that I use them to test ammo I develop) the 6.5 just doesn't pencil out.I have a Zermatt Arms TL-3 short action that I will someday build into a 6.5mm rifle that can have its bullet hit a one-gallon milk jug at 1600 yards.

That is why I have this.1200 yards is too dam-ned far for me to walk to see how badly I missed the target. Kudos to those of you who can do that...

I don't even know which one it is. I never learned to touch-type. I type with only my two index fingers, meaning I have three flopping around that could hit the Mystery Key at any second. I'm simultaneously looking at the keyboard and at the screen to check for errors, so I never see which key spells the heartbreaking doom for my posts. I'll just have to live with the inevitable losses. Life's too short and I'm too busy to get all bent out of shape over it...You should uninstall that "mystery key"
