Interesting.... Pick your poison really, drop or drift...
Personally I’ve got two 6mm barrels on the shelf I’d like to chamber in .243 Ackley Improved eventually. If you run out of reloads you can still shoot off the shelf .243 and fire form the shoulder at the same time.Interesting.... Pick your poison really, drop or drift...

Been there, bought a shirt. I don't remember this sign. Maybe it was the whiskey. We'll look next year.
I'll take the 4" drift over the 30" drop at a K, after that the 6.5 is sub sonic anyway.Interesting.... Pick your poison really, drop or drift...

Not sure I share your sentiment, gravity is always consistent wind velocity and direction are not...I'll take the 4" drift over the 30" drop at a K, after that the 6.5 is sub sonic anyway.

I'm messing with you bro! Like astjp2 said earlier. I am a sissy and don't like recoil. I prefer to stay on and watch it hit 2 seconds later.Not sure I share your sentiment, gravity is always consistent wind velocity and direction are not...
Edit: as for dropping subsonic, per the same website and that particular ammo,
"For extreme long range shooting, both the Eagle Eye 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoor maintain supersonic flight for significant distances. Both cartridges will being to enter subsonic velocities at approximately 1,450-1,500 yards depending on atmospherics. The extended range to which both cartridges remain supersonic contributes to enhanced bullet stability and increased hit probability at longer distances past 1,000 yards.
Look at that big ol magnum butt. I have gotten so sissified that my favorite round now is a 20 Practical. 3900fps of tiny bliss.![]()
Win mag any day, 6.5 cr is for pussies...who cant handle the recoil of

If I could find a .300 WM in a Win 70 or Mauser action, I would run ELD's in .264 WM, the standard magazine box is not long enough...Look at that big ol magnum butt.
My shoulder hurts just reading that.If I could find a .300 WM in a Win 70 or Mauser action, I would run ELD's in .264 WM, the standard magazine box is not long enough...
MUZZLE Brake...Big one that blurs your vision and double hearing protection is just not enough would stop that particular pain.My shoulder hurts just reading that.
