[QUOTE="bdpayne2000, post: 1095574, member: 59260"] So I picked up the Ruger American Predator in 6.5 creedmoor on Gun Broker. Loaded up a duplicate of the factory 140 gr Amax load which is : Oal 2.820" 41.7 gr H4350 Fed 210M Hornady Brass Amazing, literally shot 3/4" at 100 yards first five shots down the barrel. With the magneto speed strapped to the barrel shifted POI up exactly 1" with 1/2" group, 2640 FPS, es of 13. Next 5 shots right back to original POI 1/2" group. Would like to get the ES down to single digits but probably won't fool with anything until I get a few more down the barrel. My only negatives ( and I feel bad saying anything bad) with the gun is says trigger can go to 3 lbs but I can't get it any lighter than a tick below 4 and the bolt has a funny hitch when closing that isn't real smooth. But for the money those are very minor issues, who could complain. :) [/QUOTE]
