DHS transitioning to 6.5 Creedmoor

[TGS]

Is DHS preempting individual agency purchase of 7.62 precision rifles/ammunition with this, or is it simply an ammo contract that agencies can buy from?

I think the latter. It will likely be a rolling transition as guns go back for service and get re-barreled or new uppers in 6.5.

Nope. Fed LE is prohibited from selling old guns. They're required by law to be destroyed.

If your talking surua ammo supply, they'll shoot it up before getting rid of the rifles.

They don't need to sell the rifles - just rebarrel them.

I like less drift and less drop with less recoil. I want the shooting world to move onto 6.5. Change doesn’t bother me.

If we could get extended barrel life with it, too, it would be a true trifecta.

Let me dream this shit, bro. Don't tell me it eats barrels faster than .308Win.

Wasn't trying to imply they would need to see them, just answering his question hearing the possibility of Fed LE surplus.

Can't exist with the current law.

Well, since nobody has said it yet...

THIS IS AN OBVIOUSLY A MOVE TO PREPARE TO SEND GUN OWNERS TO FEMA CAMPS!!!!!

All joking aside, I love this forum and the level of discussion.

It’s all cool and all - but I’m just wondering how many shots DHS is planning to take at the ranges that the Creedmoor significantly out performs the .308?

You need to be a little more specific. There is no “DHS” like people think from watching 24.

The most likely practical applications at longer ranges would be USSS Protection operations, USBP BORTAC operations and some specialized USCG applications.

Big empty desert and big oceans make for long range shots. Not a common thing, but it happens.


Easier math and wind calls at distance are not the only advantages of 6.5. It’s also a bit easier on the shooter in volume such as ain a training enviornment.
