Thread: Sparrowhawk shoot results

Thanks guys, yeah Jamie was on fire! I just rode on her coat tails.
The 6mms were amazing! They are just sweet to shoot. Super stable, they were not struggling with the wind anywhere near as much as most other's guns.
It was a fantastic shoot and was really well run, the stages were all fun, challenging definitely, but not frustrating.
If you are at all interested in shooting comps, I definitely recommend these types of matches, a great bunch of shooters, no chest beating stooges. Trust me you will learn heaps.

So what's your reasoning for running a 6mm cartridge when lots of other cartridges do have the same or less wind drift ?

Less recoil with as good if not better ballistics than most, especially with the 110gr SMK. My rifle is set up heavy in a MDT ACC chassis with weights, can spot my own shots really easily and follow up shots really fast as I don't come off target at all.

Downsides are less ballistic signature (trace and bullet splash) and barrel life compared to the 6.5 versions

I'm using a Kahles K624i on my 6mm. It's slightly limited for elevation for really long shots but then I didn't build this rifle for that purpose anyway. I can dial to about 1550m and then have another 10 mils available in the reticle.
