[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5840580, member: 16430"] I feel the same way. I bought a man bun gun a couple years ago for my grandson who would rather play a video game than do anything outside. (I don't approve of it but I've tried and tried to drag him off it to no avail. Even took games away as punishment for a messy room, etc.) Then last year I bought him a Ruger 243 which is unfired in the safe too. Anyway, I like Rock Creek match barrels so I bought a bearded manbun barrel, 6.5 prc, from nso and put it on a long action savage 338wm action I had. For some reason I had to have another so I drove to Chatt town and bought a new Bergara in 6.5 prc. Now, here I am, a " bigger bullet/caliber is always better kinda guy and have these manbun guns. I put the like new Creedmoor in the classifieds with a bunch of good stuff (if you're a reloader) but didn't get any takers. I hated to give away expensive components, etc so I decided to keep it. Ran some loads on QL and assembled a progression for each gun. Went to the range day before yesterday. The Savage Creedmoor found a 1/2moa node only .2gr lower than predicted. The Rock Creek did not disappoint with a 1/2 moa node .2gr above predicted with 140gr partitions. Imo, one of the hardest projectiles to get dialed in. The Bergara needs more tuning with the 156 EOL Bergers. Likely to the next node up. The moral of the story is not to ever say I'm gonna weed them out because I'll only go in the other direction. The Ole 30-06 still carries the mail, with comparable prc recoil, delivering more velocity and energy at legal hunting ranges and beyond. [/QUOTE]
