MARS-H and Aero SOLUS 6.5 Creedmoor Range Day

Steve and Caleb head back out to the Big Springs Range in Iowa to wrap up 6.5 Creedmoor week with two favorite long-range rifles. In this range day Tech Tip, they run a LMT MARS-H chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor alongside an Aero Precision Solus bolt gun, shooting steel from 100 all the way to 500 yards. Along the way, they true ballistic data, adjust ballistic coefficients, fight shifting wind conditions, and show why the 6.5 Creedmoor remains one of the best long-range cartridges for precision shooting. Watch as they dial impacts on steel, discuss real-world ballistic corrections, and demonstrate how proper DOPE and rifle setup make long-range hits easier and more repeatable. Whether you are building a precision gas gun, tuning a bolt-action rifle, or learning how to true ballistic data, this video delivers practical long-range shooting insight straight from the range.
