[QUOTE="tobehunted, post: 1163557, member: 14918"] Just wondering what anyone is getting group wise with their 6.5-06 ? I tried RL22 and couldn't get anything better than a quarter 4 shot group at 100 yds. I tried Retumbo and got 1 dime group all around the inside edges of the circle. So I tried IMR7828 which is what works in the boys 6.5x284 and the wifes 6.5 Remington magnum and I got dime groups all day but once again it just wasn't quite what I was looking for ( a nice tight group. So I switched from Winchester large rifle primers to Remington 9.5magnum primers and actually came down in pressure ???? Noticed a little less recoil and the primers were all round on the sides instead of starting to flatten out a bit with the WLR primers, groups shrank a little but still not what I wanted. Yes the wife was hounding me the whole time ( what that small a group isn't good enough ? all your doing is wasting powder and bullets) Yeah ok now its personal. So I went from the bergers just off the lands to giving them a bit of a good jump and that did the trick. And yes I walked all around the house with a smile on my face ! :D I chronographed them today and I am right at 2810 FPS ,seemed a little slow but im not changing anything with that kind of group.
