Nicely done. There is a reason that cartridge is smokin' Hot in sales right now. If I had young eyes and a place to shoot long yardage I might even break down and and buy one of those shouldered cartridge rifles. I'd like to see Henry offer that in the Long Ranger.

It's strange. I started with the 260 which has more fps than the 6.5 creedmoor but less powder and longer bullet profile even running 150 fps slower and this one shoots farther with way more accuracy. The long ranger in either of these would catch me at the store quick.

I guessed sub quarter moa. Using that calculator... .21 moa... I have book marked that thing, it's sweet. The group was even sweeter.
