I think so too, and thank you. It's a heck of thump, and my first magnum so I'm definitely humbled.

I had a Tikka Superlite 30-06. With 178 ELDX handloads, it kicked as harder or maybe even harder than a 10 lb 300 win mag. When I was doing load development, I had to work much harder on form than a light kicker.

Here’s 21 (might have been 24?) at 100. Barrel had been off this action since last winter, cleaned with storage oil in it. Pushed a dry patch through it, screwed it on, dialed it down the 0.6 my notes said worked last time. Factory 6.5cm barrel from a donor action. Spartan bipod/rear bag from a wood bench.

Here's a group with a question.

Fired ten rounds from my T3x in 6.5CM into a little less than 0.7" inches yesterday.
I'm shooting a 140gr Sierra Tipped Gameking over 41.9gr H4350 in Starline SRP brass with BR-4 primers. Really happy with the results.

So here's my question -- I've fired over 200 rounds of this handload, using large rifle primers, in three different rifles and it shoots ten shot groups into about 1.2-1.3 MOA, reliably. This was my first attempt with small rifle primers with this bullet, and I plan to shoot another group this weekend. Anyone else seen 6.5 CM groups tighten up just by switching to small primer brass? Or is this just an anomaly?

Mine has that accuracy with 140 match burners and star line srp brass. I use cci450. I haven't tried it with lrp
