Got to go the range yesterday with my 6br I put together a little while back.
I first started shooting it without bedding/pillars and it was in my opinion so-so. So...I bedded/pillared it. Still kinda so-so. Dont get me wrong, it was under an inch mostly but the groups just weren't what I'd hoped for. Found a decent load and took it to the savageshooters shoot in April and it shot decent enough...hit steal @1k.
Added a cheek rest thinking this will for sure help my consistency. Still...not much better.
Loads were with Varget and either 107gr smk or 105gr Amax. Smk was .020 off and amax was .010 off.
I got hold of some rel15 and gave it a try with the amax, and for kicks tried the 87gr vmax (0.10 off)with varget. I also placed my rifle on the front rest a little different.
Here are the results.
105gr amax and rel15

Im really happy with it, these are just 3 shot groups, I was just trying to see if any of the loads were worth pursuing, and I think I got my answer 😆.
Whatever I was doing right it was fairly consistent because before I saw the target I could tell if I pulled.
