These groups were shot today, out of a Savage 10TSR, 24"bbl, 48 degrees, 7mph crosswind. I know a lot seem to hate on the Savage rifles, but this rifle has truly impressed me. It's a $1600 total setup, and consistently shoots sub half moa

There's nothing wrong with that!

I always had good luck with the 140 eld-m, rl-16, and a cci br2. H4350 also very good. This is a 3 shot 1345 yard groupView attachment 257921

That's an awesome group at that distance!!

I'm happy with it. Just wish it didn't weigh 85 pounds.

Just wanted to share some load data that may help someone out. I've found this load to shoot sub moa to below 1/2 moa in 6 different rifles now. It's a very safe, middle of the road, load. I've shot it through different length barrels and still the same result. So hopefully this could give someone a good starting point if loading this caliber. I'm sure there are others shooting the same load as well. It's also been a very good hunting load for me.

I will have to check the OAL, but I started loading it based on the OAL of the Hornady Precision Hunter factory loads.

I've had good luck with a load similar to that as well

What kind of setup are you shooting?

What kind of setup are you shooting?

My 6.5 creedmoor is an AR platform rifle that I built. It has a 20" Ballistic Advantage barrel that is very heavy but shoots pretty tight groups for a semi auto.

Nice! I'd like to have a nice 6.5 Grendel in an AR platform.

That's a pretty sweet setup.

I built a 6.5 Grendel AR for my daughter. It's a nice lightweight build with a BSF Carbon Fiber barrel. This past season she took her best buck to date with it. Quick clean kill

Thanks

My daughter would make me move out if I sold her rifle!
