[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1056236, member: 68613"] The LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor is a sweet shooter. I'd read about the caliber and thought that I wanted one at some point in the future. I stumbled into a local gun shop and they had a used one in the rack with the HS Precision stock with the vertical grip and palm swell. It looked new as it had no dings and the bolt face looked like it hadn't been shot a lot. I grabbed it along with some 120 grain Hornady factory ammo to test with. Took it to the range and it was shooting 1/3 MOA with that factory ammo. Started developing loads for it and settled on 40.9 grains of H4350 and Berger 140 grain Hybrids set .020 off the lands that were giving me 1/4 MOA. It's the most accurate rifle I own and it's now my F Open competition rifle for 300-1000 yards. That load remains supersonic past 1200 yards and I've fallen in love with 6.5's of all types as a result of this rifle. [/QUOTE]
