SaeedWe Are Trying An Experiment With Several 6.5 Creedmoor Rifles
It seems the 6.5 Creedmoor is what everyone wants here right now.
We have several here, of different makes and models.
We have some factory ammo from Hornady and RWS, in different bullet weight.
we have bullets weights in 85, 95, 107, 120, 138, 140 and 142.
We will try shooting all the factory ammo, and all the above bullet weights, with different powders, and see what the results are.
We started with the TIKKA T3X.
Will post the results once we are done.
Might take a bit of time.

FjoldSaeed, with the amount of groups that you're shooting, you're going to need to hire someone to reload while you shoot.
I'm impressed with that Tikka, is that a factory rifle or is that an aftermarket chassis?

SaeedStandard factory rifle.
Thing is I am always doing something, and only let you know about near the end.
It takes time.
But what helps is a short break every now and then and a trip to the underground range where I shoot a few groups.
I don’t shoot extensively, maximum is 2 5-shot groups and let the barrel cool down.

theback40About the time I decided that rifle likes milder loads...... then the grain hotter started the best groups. Proves you dont know what your rifle will like best until you try it.
