Careful, i used that exact load and it showed pressure signs in the summer.

No worries, it’s got a looooong throat, and it’s seated way long! That load was developed in 70 degrees anyway

New best group. 10 out of my 16.5" RokStok Tikka in .7". Front and rear bags, since the ROKSTOK SKELETONIZED PIC RAIL IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE GUNWERKS BIPOD.

Look how slow that Norma 143 Golden Target is going. It was 100FPS faster 2 weeks ago. I'm wondering
whether they use an extremely temp sensitive powder. It's 40F colder today.

Going to buy some more consistent factory ammo, how do we all like the federal premium eld-x line? Hornady eld-x is giving me giant ES, hoping federal would do better.

Picked up a new 6.5 bleedmore tikka today. I’m going to give the federal 130 AR hybrid stuff a shot. I’m optimistic that it will shoot great.

That is absurdly slow though..

I was shooting some Norma PRC today and it was dropping more than my creed handloads at 300

These were my groups from today. Three from the .223 with 3-12 LRHS and one group with the .308 with SWFA 6x.

The Berger 130 otm is hard to beat for factory creedmoor fodder

Group has been since moved up.
55gr bulk PMC FMJ ammo @ 100m



Excited to hand load up some 73gr ELDM this winter to really tighten this up.

I’ll shoot the rest of the box but it wasn’t terribly promising…

From a MV ES perspective?

Those were fine (though it’ll spread out with more data). Group wasn’t shaping up terribly well. This 16” Tikka just loves 120 eld-m and 125 deer season XP for some reason. I’ll give it another shot with a larger data set. Was earlier this season, trying to run through 12 types of ammo in a single range session so was moving fast.

Ahh. The Federla Good Medal Berger 130gr Hybrid OTM has always done very well in 6.5’s that I’ve used. Has a higher impact velocity threshold (2,050’ish FPS and above), but has been extremely stable and consistent.
