Reminds me of the movie Tin Cup golf ball driving contest when Costner hit the ball down the paved road over 1000 yards, the surface matters, fairway vs roadway or ice vs water.

But do you even shoot creedmoor.  I know a guy who owns one and he could shoot the wings off a hummingbird at 1k. 

 

Lotsa people think they can do that. Too many, in fact.

unfortunately I see deer every year that are wounded by guys like that.

they would be doing good to hit a deer's vitals at 50 yards.

It was sarcasm, people think that cartridge has some kind of magical powers.  There is ten pages of people ripping on the creedmore on accurateshooter.com

I know. I was stating a point , that a lot of hunters think the high speed cartridges make them great hunters.

Out to 200 yards, there is not much difference between my 308 and my brother in laws 6.5 creedmoor.

most people should not be shooting at deer past that distance anyway.

I have a 6.5 Creedmore, Shilen Select barrel on a LH Savage action.  Wonderful rifle that I have not even taken out of the safe in maybe maybe 3 years now, don’t think I have shot it in 5.  Once bass fishing took hold of me any intrest in shooting faded away fast.

As with may things knowledge of what something is really capable means a lot.  I am a life long fishermen so its always there.  I have had on and off relationship with guns.  My dad was huge into the shooting and reloading sports.  He passed a few months ago and now i have everything a person could ever want to shoot or reload with.  Memphis is not a great place for shooters if you dont own your own land.  I will be going to georgia here soon and there is a little 100 yard range that was free and always open when i lived there last.  Not great for long range but i have a ton of old military stuff to shoot off hand and practice with.  Might get into shooting hogs with a 45/70.  So used to shooting trail boss i dont know how i will feel about full power 3031 loads after the easy target shooting.

First thing I thought was "you fished a local pond on Saturday and didn't ask me to go along?!"

 

You fooled me until I read "100 yards or better".

 

Almost fell for it hook, line and stinker! ?

 

When I saw the thread title my first thought was, "At my age and physical condition I couldn't skip a 100 yards without keeling over from a heart attack."
