I was shooting a test load last time, gun is a Swedish M96 6.5X55 using Sierra MatchKing 140grn. HPBT and 43.0grn of IMR 4350. Range is 100m As I shot the load the recoil is remarkably less than when I use a same-load flatbase bullet. The group strikes 3 inches lower than the flat-base group. When I ask my gunsmith, he said the matchking produce a flatter trajectory so the bullet is still climbing to meet the line of sight. I think not, the muzzle is about 3 inches lower to the scope, the bullet either meets the trajectory and drops very fast or never climb up to meet the line of sight at all. I know different barrel vibration produced different groups but the obvious low recoil tipped me off that something has to do with pressure of that load. Anybody can confirm this thought? | ||

Only one round? Hard to come to a conclusion when only one round was fired... But...it more than likely was a light load... ------------------ | |||
