I picked up my Model 12LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor just before Christmas and got to the range on the 31st. All I had was 120 grain Hornady A-Max factory ammo, so I didn't get to do any comparisons between the 120's and 140 grain factory ammo. I cleaned the bore the night before, boy was it filthy from the factory!!!!
I put about 50 rounds down range. I didn't shoot bug holes but I had to get sloppy to shoot 4 round groups larger than 1 inch.
I have a 4-16 X 50 Millett scope on an EGW rail mount with Weaver Rings. Otherwise, out of the box stock. I haven't even pulled the action out of the stock to check contact with the bedding block...

One four shot group ( the magazine only holds four rounds )with a nickel for scale

This is two, four shot groups.

The flier was my fault...
But the upper hole has 3 rounds thru it...
I'll have to see if I can find some 140 A-Max to see if it likes that better.
At the range, there is a metal human silhouette about 240 yards out, it got kinda boring, there wasn't much of a challenge to hitting it, but it did have immediate gratification in its favor !!!
