I think I hate my new 6.5 Creedmoor

[QUOTE=Captk;184306]Got out to the range this morning with my Savage 12 LRP I shot this just before the weather changed to a steady rain, 10 rounds at 100 yds using Hornady 120 gr AMAX. The rifle is fine, I have some 140 gr AMAX on order along with dies to reload my own. I have 120 gr Sierra MK and 123 GR AMAX ready to go once dies arrive.
I shot a total of 40 rounds, not bad first time out with the rifle. The rifle seems to be shrinking the group size the more I shot.

You will love the 123 amax

I use the Hornady gauges to measure seating depth om my savage and seat .004 off the groves. Barely fits into the magazine, but shoots Nozzler HPBT competitions great.

1. Could be scope, scope rings, scope mounts.
2. Verify barrel is free floated and not hanging up somewhere.
3. verify action screws are torqued (try 35 lbs).
4. Try various factory loads to see what it likes and then build a reload based on that.

Try factory Hornday ammo first, then report back

3rd eye had his own conversation on another old thread. Post count padding anyone? LOL, does not bother me. PS, have not shot my 6.5 enough to know if I like or hate mine.

Will be building on a 12fv action. Thinking of dropping in a chassis. Also need 6.5x24 scope to mount on it.

Actually think that was a spammer/phisher. Every thread he replied to had been dead for several years and he linked to his own site a few times which is nothing more than a click-bait site. Plus the fact that his username was his website URL raised a red flag as well.

So....I figure he's just a spammer and he and all his posts are gone now. We'll see if I get an email back asking why he was banned then go from there. That's the second one in a week.

A forum mod can be a thankless and underappreciated job.
Thanks Jim for all the behind scenes work you do to keep this forum great.
