Is an 18" 6.5 Creedmoor Any Good? - RRD Episode 1

[@TexasPlinking]

This video is the first episode of a new series I'm calling RRD (Random Range Day) where like the name suggest, it's a range day, that's pretty random. I bring out a few different guns to showcase rather than making individual videos on each one. They could be anything, and no particular uploading schedule. Hope y'all enjoy! For the first episodes we go over 7 different guns. 00:00 - Sponsors 00:51 - What Is RRD 02:37 - 18" 6.5 Creedmoor 08:14 - Leviathan Defense Loki AR9 09:23 - Henry Homesteader 10:21 - Diamondback Sidekick 11:34 - Beretta Type 92Xi 13:03 - Desert Tech Quatro-15 14:59 - Suppressed Hellcat Pro A big thanks to GunSpot & PARD for sponsoring this episode. Let me know what y'all would like to see in the next episode!

"Oh, we hit something" and "I spray painted it because I'm a bozo" Great stuff man, it's fun to see someone who enjoys guns like we do, not just someone trying to make money off of our hobby!

[@richardoliver1468]

Thank you for creating a new series. Your channel has become my favorite for information. Your demonstration of that new Vortex range finder definitely needs to be expanded on. Awesome job on creating different series. My idea of a RRD is going to the range on a different of the following week.

[@Imarookieatthis]

Digging this new format. Has been a blast watching you grow all this years.

[@rseddon713]

I like your RRD series. Also thanks for sharing your discount code for Arken optics, I ordered one yesterday. Thanks again

[@scottmackey4182]

Fun format! Enjoyed it as much as you did putting it together.

[@boomcountryhydro]

Been Running Pristine for over a year and absolutley love them. Use it hard and it hasnt let me down.

[@ColoradoPracticalShooters]

I dig the format please keep making content for us plebs

[@mikeherbst5448]

Appreciate the Canadian content 😊 , always enjoy your videos .

[@nikos6220]

Sweet thing that 6.5 Creedmoor. And I guess if 2650 ft/s with a 140 grain were enough, 200 ft-lb less out of the 18’ won’t be enough difference to make a difference

[@Peezy71421]

The answer is YES! I’m CONSISTENTLY hitting at 1100 yrds with my 18” Sig Cross 6.5 Needmore. Ok I might not shoot an Elk, but it can reach out and touch things very accurately with just enough muzzle energy left to make a difference.

[@redfirekla]

these are some awesome episodes i can watch these all day long.... thank you sir for making these. I have a CZ 7.62x39 that is a tack driver I might upgrade my scope to a night force and might give ur competition a shot... the AK round can reach out to a KM even though many people don't believe that..

[@chrispike8879]

Your vids are very informative and always interesting keep em coming.

[@JohnS858]

Uhhh yea, Fantastic! Your set-up is 🔥

[@nataliedeyton6829]

You know since the “brace ban “ has come around I’m sure manufacturers are having a tuff time selling “pistols”. My local shop has a wall full and they cant give them away.. literally have not sold one in months

[@TexasPlinking]

I don't doubt it

[@draconian6692]

Maybe they'll have a sale for those that are more inclined to go to a private range😂

[@willo7734]

And don’t we all just feel so much safer now that those evil stocks are no longer paired with short barrels? I know I do. You can just taste the safety.

[@tw1st3dw1ll7]

I recently bought a 18" 6.5 CM, Bergara SP, havent shot it yet lol. But this is relevant.

[@lwilson1234]

That Beretta red dot mount is CHONKY.😂

[@chrisburckhard9122]

The way i see it, you dont really lose a lot of velocity with a shorter barrel 6.5CM. I have a 20in barrel on my 6.5 and with my handloads, I still get about 2750fps with a 140gr RDF, and still not at the max charge. There's really no downside to a shorter barrel. Still get good velo with handloads, and youre getting a light rifle. 👌👌

[@woogieman02]

Mine is the same way. Handloads are the way to go

[@rkwjunior2298]

I don't believe you. What's ur load and show us ur chronograph.?

[@chrisburckhard9122]

@@rkwjunior2298 140 RDF, Starline LRP brass, Federal 215M primers, 43.5gr StaBall 6.5. If I could post pictures on KZbin comments, I would. Average was 2752, SD was 4.49, and an ES of 11. The data is right there. Do with it what you will. 🤷🏼

Very cool piece of equipment you got there bro.👍

[@williamvalentin9473]

Great laid out video thanks 😊

[@woogieman02]

I have a 17.5" Creedmoor and it shoots great! It is a nice truck gun, and a blast on coyotes. Wanted a shorter barrel to go with the suppressor. With 130gr eld rounds I have found wanting nothing g

[@frankopanklaric]

I'm digging that hellcat.

[@BSaunders3754]

Great video Brandon. Thanks!

[@CTaylor-zq8hl]

Is that a vortex impact 4000 on top of your rifle?

[@TheMotorcycleBoss]

Great video. Love the guns. You should consider doing a giveaway of the Vortex Impact if you could. I'm sure there is a ton of people that would love to use it but can't afford it

[@TMFShooting]

Another Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@LifeMyWay007]

Yup, keep this series going. Variety is fun.

[@curtishunter6725]

Thanks!

[@Boomerfootball1]

So I have a “pistol” AR if I take off the brace and can I still shoulder the tube?

[@Deuceblank]

Ammo decorations next to the bolt, but we single feed from the box behind us😂 boozey

[@DouglasRoss-fh3oc]

Where I can buy the cheek rest pad that is on the AI AX SA chassis that housed the short barreled 6.5 CM you featured?

[@joshuascout5549]

Cant wait to get the new vortex rail mounted rangefinder

[@LSC2001]

My Sig Cross in 6.5CM is phenomenal with an 18” barrel. I’m going to start loading 130gr VLD’s and I suspect they’ll fly at over 2800fps.

[@HobbiesWithMike]

I have an AR10 in 6.5 with an 18” barrel so I appreciate the validation lol

[@PDPIE1029]

I’m going to build that exact 6.5 action/barrel. What barrel profile and barrel nut is on that build?

[@jacobdelgado7343]

Hey were you using the bretta flat face trigger in the beretta or the volker precision one?

[@TexasPlinking]

The factory Beretta trigger, I didn't change anything.

[@handlewithcaretransportati5614]

Great vedio , would li I w to see more

[@juanislas4804]

What bag rider do you have on that AIAX?

[@doncarnage3539]

Those were all hits don’t worry about it

[@fraserlordly2432]

It would be so sick if i could bring my Henry Long Ranger in .308 for the thousand yard challenge. It'll have a fixed 10 power Bushnell Mil Dot scope. I have a couple inexpensive bipods I could throw on it for the challenge. I just got it last week. But Im Canadian, and I would not risk bringing it over the border and back, just not worth it.

[@Rubeless]

Keep em rolling

[@Golden_Patriot]

can we get a stand alone video in the 18" 6.5 creedmoor rifle

[@Ac3Mustang]

What's that handstop for the AR9!!! I want one for my pistol

[@HUUSSSHHH]

What microphone are you using?

[@PkwyDrive13]

I need a long range shooting range in DFW...any recommendations?!

[@rdsii64]

M118LR from an 18 inch barrel will arrive point on and stable at 1000 yards. A round with a much better

[@lobo7107]

Have you done a review of the Sig Cross 18" 6.5 Creed?

[@Rubeless]

Insert that description in the search box

[@Allen338LM]

I wanna see you review the Q trigger literally the best trigger ever made I have one it's better then a giessle trigger so I wanna see your thoughts on it

[@thefinancier12]

$2k+ seems silly for the Vortex calculator, dedicated to only 1 rifle. I'd prefer a spotting scope mounted option twthered to a kestrel, that i could easily use on multiple rifles.

[@TexasPlinking]

Not dedicated to one rifle, it has multiple different profiles you can save. Plus onboard LRF

[@thefinancier12]

@TexasPlinking right, but doesn't the zero have to be recalibrated every time you mount it to a different optic?..

[@jlew6890]

9:23 🥾 🐶 😂

[@tinncan]

I have been wanting to chop my 6.5 hunting rifle down to 17" so I can fit my can on it in the deer stand... We don't get more than 200yards line of sight anyways.

[@CorvetteStuff1]

I built a 16” 6.5 so I can run my can. I don’t get shots past 300 so it’s perfect. I get 2500 FPS with Hornady Precision 143 ELD-X

[@teampyle9835]

For that range finder to work right wouldn't you have to dial your scope back to 0 everytime to get an acurate reading? Im assuming you zero the laser "parallel" to match the scopes line of sight at all distances, but If you have 10 mills dialled in the scope then the laser would be 10 mils higher than the reticle and give a bad reading.

[@TexasPlinking]

I'm not quite sure what you mean but the answer is no. Once zeroed, the range finder fins the range of the object a couple inches above your target, Chances are your target isn't smaller than a couple inches.

[@teampyle9835]

@TexasPlinking yes a "parrallel" zero would have the laser about 2 inches above your zeroed reticle. But I'm saying it is important to note that if you dial 10 Mils elv then your LRF will be 10 Mils higher than your POA plus the 2 inches of parallel.

[@teampyle9835]

@TexasPlinking I enjoy the channel a lot btw! You showcase some of my favorite rifles.

[@mrs.vasquezz]

​@@teampyle9835what the fuck are you smoking

[@lifehacksformen8427]

If your going to shoot pistol ar9s. Treat them like the old mp5s. Sling it up. Pull away from you taunt. And use the sling as 2 points of contact.

[@ImOldGregg]

Or just sbr it

[@Longshot762x51]

I never understood the appeal of AR9s, you have the recoil of a 5.56 but without any of the perks, not to mention no cavitation on target. Roller-delay for 9mm or nuffin'! 😂

[@ImOldGregg]

@@Longshot762x51 truf

[@robwells1480]

Nice video. When you shoot, the shot is very loud in my earbuds. Can the shot volume be tamped down in the editing. Let's go Brandon!

[@hvyduty1220]

What I have seen, the 6.5 barrel will only last 1800 to 2000 rounds is it worth it? I have been watching and trying to decide. I want to shoot long range.

[@mrs.vasquezz]

Wtf did u see lmao

[@turbotyme86]

Need to do a youtuber challenge. Demo, Kentucky, Brandon, Garand etc

[@stephenjohnson8205]

Quatro is 53 rounds for those wondering.

"Theoretically"

[@K_M_M_G]

Sorry I think I missed the specs on the rifle build, can someone drop the specs?

[@aaronarbuthnott9846]

I wonder if he is selling any of his long range guns. I’m new to long range and he just has great setups. Plus I’m also in Texas!

NOT REALLY QUADSTACK.....LMAO

[@r0b3rt_959]

Bro is doing the videogame thing of having ammo saddles in the gun and not using them lmao

[@TexasPlinking]

I don’t play video games, so not sure what that means

[@r0b3rt_959]

@@TexasPlinking Pretty straight forward: Weapon models in certain games have ammo quivers just for show, not used for the actual reload animation. The Remington 870 from Black Ops 2 comes to mind.

[@Diddley-js6lf]

So if your worried about what KZbin thinks then you part of the Problem.

[@TexasPlinking]

Uhh no. Because my video will simply get taken down (happened many times) and possibly my channel gets deleted. So no, I'd like to keep uploading gun videos. If you think that makes me part of the problem you're horribly mistaken. Maybe you just want less gun videos on KZbin, idk

[@alexanderv.8961]

Where is your ShitTac M200? Is it still being fixed? What a pile of trash that gun is.

[@The10thManRules]

What's with putting brace ban and pistol in quotations? What are you really saying?

[@Longshot762x51]

I believe hes saying that gun laws are unconstitutional to begin with, doubly so when created by a bureaucracy that has no legal standing to create law. 🤔
