  EP 25: What Is the BEST 6.5mm Cartridge?

  Aug 11, 202649 minS1

  6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 6.5×47 Lapua, or 6.5 Moses—which one actually makes the most sense? In this episode of Beyond the Target , Rob and Jeromy continue the cartridge comparison series by taking on the 6.5mm/.264 family. Using a 140gr Hornady ELD-M as the common bullet, we compare velocity, retained energy, drop, powder consumption, barrel life, availability, and overall efficiency. And the fastest cartridge isn't necessarily the winner. We get into why the 6.5 Creedmoor remains incredibly difficult to beat, what you gain by stepping up to the 6.5 PRC, where the 6.5×47 Lapua still makes sense, and why we're so interested in the 6.5 Moses. If you're considering a new hunting, competition, or long-range 6.5mm rifle, this one is for you.

  EP-22 Why Long Range Shooting Isn't Growing Faster (It's NOT the Rifles)

  Jul 22, 202650 minS1

  How many rifle owners have a gun capable of shooting 1,000 yards—but nowhere to actually practice? In Episode 22 of Beyond the Target , Rob and Jeromy discuss one of the biggest challenges facing today's shooting community: the lack of accessible long-range shooting ranges. They dive into what qualifies as "long range," why finding places to shoot beyond 500 or 1,000 yards is so difficult, how that affects ethical hunting, and why they believe growing the number of long-range ranges could help grow the shooting sports as a whole. Topics include: Defining long-range shooting Why access matters more than equipment Ethical hunting distances Building 1,000-yard ranges Golf courses vs. shooting ranges Public land State involvement Backfire TV experiences Long-range practice Growing the shooting community Website https://www.baldguyswithguns.com Evens Challenge https://forms.gle/R1xzZt2K3vk2aLwQ6 Sponsored by Tract Optics https://tractoptics.com/?ref=BALDGUYSWITHGUNS Use code BALDGUYS for FREE Shipping!
