I have a Ridgeline FFT in the 6.5 Creedmoor that's doing the same thing. I'm half way through the barrel breakin and it looks pretty much the same. I'm breaking it in exactly how they say to do it. I use Butchs 7.62 copper solvent to clean the chamber and bore with nylon brushes, like they say...
I didn't have any luck with Staball 6.5 in my 6.5 Creedmoor. SD was off the chart, mid 20's-low 40's, accuracy was still good at a 100yd but the further out you go the worst it gets. But that was my experience. Every rifle is different.
I agree, I've done a lot of research on all this and I guess I'll start with what I have,check for pressure, look at the numbers, (vel, es,sd) and go from there. Thank you for the input
Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT recommends 3shot groups clean between up to 50rds. Don't worry,I found a box of WW 100gr I had for years. They'll do the job for breakin. Thanks for all the input.
I've been into precision loading and long range shooting for several years but this by no means I know everything. These bullets are new to me so I'd rather ask than to make a mistake.
Thank you. The new rifle hasn't come in yet so i don't know what going on yet. I never start at the high end of the load. I know your concern about giving load data out, all I really need is some advice on a starting point. From all the data I've read on these bullets, I figured I'd better get...
I've been loading for years and I'm getting a real education on these new design bullets. I've got Varget and probably going to try and find some BLC2 to try. Thank you for the input.
