[QUOTE="reubenski, post: 2604817, member: 36515"] Loading for my fourth year of hunting with the 6.5 SST. I'm currently at 3000fps with 54gr of H1000. 147 ELDMs. This bullet and powder is what I've been shooting since the beginning. I've only brought the charge down from 56gr to maintain 3K. It has been trying to creep up over the years. I suspect from the powder losing moisture over time. I checked for a carbon ring last week before checking load, zero, and seating depth. None seen with the borescope. I've been shooting at .090" jump the whole time as well. Just thought I'd recheck .120, .090, .080, and .070 as I zeroed. I never shot .070 after seeing 90 and 80 group up. Tikka T3, KRG W3, Carbon Six 26" Sendero, TBAC Dominus, NF NX8 4x32, tuned ARC mag.
