PRC shooters are like vegans.

These are the folks that look at me as if Iam prehistoric because I shoot a 6.5x55, Mr PRC man bun types that often drive jeeps with every off road accessory attached ( and never leave a paved road) will claim I am limited to 100 yards with my ancient chambering, and I should at least upgrade to a 6.5 creedmoor to avoid being embarrassed at the range. They become speechless when they see I load 160 round nose bullets, It can be quite entertaining at times.

This actually happens too???

Holy cow where do yall find these people??

In all seriousness I wish it were easier to have a rebarrel done in 6.5 Japanese.
 
And know enough about hunting to read up on rifles, buy a PRC, but run into you at the range and become aghast at a round nose bullet and think 6.5x55 is limited to 100 yards and you need a creedmoor?

Forgive me I just have trouble imagining something so stereotypically one-dish actually happening

If someone said that to me I would reply with “ lean how to “HUNT” and you won’t NEED to shoot past 100 yards. As far as being “embarrassed at the range” goes back in the 70’s (or maybe 80’s) the bench test super-shooters at the local club would continuously rib the muzzle loader guys about their ancient guns that can’t hit a barn so the muzzleloaders guys challenged them to a shoot off………. Off hand of course. The worst ML score beat the best super-shooters score. That was not because a flintlock is more accurate (but they CAN be) but rather, because the bench test guys can’t shoot #### off hand. Shooting is like taking a leak, you can sit like a woman or stand like a man. Choice is yours. Bench rests are for working up loads and sighting in, that’s all (imo).

Honestly it seems like non-Vegans complain about Veganism more than Vegans try to impose their life choices on others...

Lol, when I moved to Manitoba about 14 years ago I was pleasantly surprised at how many of my co-workers in the trades were hunters, shooters, fishermen, etc.

Before that I lived about 120 km outside of Toronto and commuted into the city every day, where a crew of 20 or so guys might include one or two shooters besides me.

My last jobsite before I retired was a northern camp environment, and one of our guys was the sort who managed to make you aware within the first ten minutes after meeting him that he was a vegetarian, a socialist and a dweller in a downtown condo that required no individual ownership and use of planet-destroying private vehicles of any kind.

We had many...interesting...conversations...:)

I grew up in Fergus, a small (then) rural town 12miles north of Guelph in the 60s and 70s, early 80s. I knew lots of kids there my age. I only knew one that like guns and hunted.

It seems to be the same with a PRC shooter. They simply cannot help themselves not to tell you what they are shooting these days and like to include the bullets, brass, powder and primer into the info bubble in the conversation. One of them went into a full rant this week on how the beltless cases are so much better than the old belted style. He sounded like the short mag shooters of 20yrs ago. I had to coach him how the belted shooters do not headspace off the belt, but shoulder bump and neck size the same as he does with his beloved PRC case. <eye roll>

I don't care either way .......... Fudd out! :)

Same could be said about cross fit junkies, don't gotta ask they'll let you know in a hurry!!

You must live a sheltered life if you think what he describes doesn’t happen. For example, I know of at least 4 people who try really hard to sound experienced, but didn’t start hunting or shooting until 2020-21/covid days.

Without having any personal experience, they’ll start spewing off all sorts of crap that they read on the internet like a flock of parrots. Only problem being is they have no clue what they’re talking about so any honest questions or discussion turns into arguments as they try to hide in their pile of BS.

As for the 4x4 pavement princess thing he mentions? I think we all know about those people….

Oh I hear a lot of Fudd lore/BS. No worries there!

What I've never encountered yet is the "totally wrong 6.5 Creedmoor overhyper" or "PRC guy who thinks 6.5x55 is not good past 100 yards" round nosed or what.

The 6.5 shooters I've talked to, or even those who expressed interest in it, have known what the 6.5x55 is.

Most places ditched tallow over fears of saturated fats - nobody gave a #### about vegans in the early 90s. In fact, McDonald's fries still aren't vegan stateside - they add natural beef flavor to the vegetable oil to simulate the old tallow-fried flavor.

And the majority of smaller places fry meat and fries in the same fryers, so even though they're not using tallow it's still not vegan...


Vegans are annoying but this is hardly why...
