[QUOTE="7MMMagnum, post: 2214500, member: 39395"] Just went through this process with a Christian Arms Mesa in 6.5 Creedmoor. Would not group and tried everything I knew to do with a load. Finally disassembled the rifle and the recoil lug recess on the stock was not cut deep enough which caused a pivot point and when the builder spot bedded the action, they put the action in a bind when they torqued the action screws. I removed their spot bed and deepened the recess and bedded the entire action myself. The magazine length on the rifle is 2.880. I ended up with two excellent loads. 39.4 grains of H4350 Hornady brass Fed 210 primers 140 gr Berger Hybrid Target 2.870 C.O.A.L. 2730 fps 39.4 grains of H4350 Hornady Brass Fed 210 primers 140 Hornady ELD M 2.820 C.O.A.L. 2740 fps Both shoot better than .5 MOA Just keep after it, you can figure it out. Just a side note, I started seeing pressure signs (cratered primers and ejection marks) with anything over 41 grains of H4350. I see lots of folks shooting 42 grains plus. Be careful when working up.
