6.5 CREED HACK! #longrangeshooting

To me this is why I prefer mils. I don’t own a creedmoor but it much easier for me to remember that at 1000 yards my rifle drops 5 mils, than to remember it drops 17.75 or whatever MOA. Smaller numbers are easier to remember and the turrets having more space between them makes it less cluttered imo

Sick chassis!!

Zeroed at what distance ?

What makes the the 6.5 so great

What rifle is that?

How many yards was the rifle sighted in to begin with? And any tip about how many gains, roughly to start with?

I had to go check my dope cart and holy hell lol it’s close as shit. Plus 10th or 2 here and there

Wouldn’t barrel length have a part? Could you do it with an Encore pistol with a 14” barrel?

Ok what is the original zero distance

Just a reminder, change your barrel every 15 shots!

3.1 is my hold for .308 at 500…

Hmm. Wouldn’t that depend on bullet weight and speed??? Not buying this

What if my target is straight down?

MDT is at it again. I use 6.5 creedmore for deer hunting. And, stay tuned at the range. I have d.o.p.e on each of my riffles, none of which came from any math or hack. You can use that hack for elevation, use a ballistics app., or use data on previous engagements. You cannot use a hack to determine your dope.

Or just buy some Sig Kilo Binos

Looking at ballistic ae…it’s pretty close. Really at 500 it’s more like 2.5 mils instead of 3, and at 1000 it’s more like 7 instead of 8. So just figuring out what range to subtract 2 instead of 3 is the secret. Still, for a big enough torso target, very cool.

Is this with the rifle zero in at 100yards?

Ok so this worked nicely. Id just like to know what the BFZ was on this rifle to begin with

Works for 308 too

Looking at the Applied Ballistics app – this hack really only roughly works for yardages between 200 and 700. You need to at least get a ballistics app and a Kestrel for wind, density altitude for longer distances. Latitude and azimuth would help as well in range settings to account for Coriolis. As a beginner, I was able to hit a 1200 yard target on my first use of my new Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 CM – 9 o'clock wind ~8 MPH. I need to get more experience to push it out further as I have access to a 1 mile range. I think I need to buy a better scope after only 1 outing. And I thought golf and skiing were expensive!

Cameras have come very far you can see the air change in the bullets path sweet!

He doesn’t say what the gun is zeroed for though.

Wow so you are saying Barrel length, barrel twist rate, projectile weight, and grains of powder make no difference…

The text said 700 but he worked with 500

Yeah but in reference to what? At what distance is your scope zeroed to begin with?

Is that zero in at 100 yards?

Solid

or you just buy a scope with a built in rangefinder and ballistic calculator

yards, ahh yes a 900 year old measuring system that americans still use for some unknown reason.

and before you start saying freedom units, the US military uses metric… so really, you are falling behind your patriotism by using an antiquated system.

Serious question, does this work on all calibers?
