[QUOTE="NW Hunter, post: 1116303, member: 23024"] It's been a while since my last post. I went out Labor Day and sighted in at 100 yards with 59.1 grains. of Retumbo. I then shot 3 rounds through the Magnetospeed and got 3012, 3036, 3022. We went to our cliff face at 950 yards @ 6 degrees. Using a Strelok Pro program,, I dialed in 18.6 MOA vertical. I held dead on horizontally as the canyon was eerily still. I picked a spot where two different cracks in the rock face met and hit the spot. My second shot hit the spot again. I was shocked as I have fought this rifle and it's load since I bought it. I believe the big change was going to Wolf large rifle magnum primers. No more fliers in my groups and first indications are that it will do great on long range shots with the Berger HVLD 140 bullet. I am as surprised as anyone about this. I must be going through the reloading learning curve:D. Thank you to all of you that gave me different ways to look at this. I will be taking the 6.5 to Idaho for mulies. Can't wait... [/QUOTE]
