Everyone is giving you lots of great info. I started out with the same questions and basically started with loading to sammi specs first, then stated making my COAL's longer which brought down my groups. My 6.5 now shoot 1/2 inch groups consistently. I shoot it out to 600yrds which I consider my max range with it on a animal. But I'm using the same loading resume you are using with the exception of I found what seem to be the sweet spot for bullet length on my 6.5. Shooting Lapua brass and fed match 210 primers as well. I only use fed match primers in 210 of 215 (mag). So It all what you want out of it. I don't think its that much more to buy the match primers. On the Lapua brass now that's a different story but I have 10 plus reloads on some of my brass and they are still doing just fine. I have only had to trim them once. But that may be where the cost come in. I been able to reuse these brass over and over again. So that cuts the cost down a lot. Keep reloading, keep shooting for practice, and also keep good notes. Good notes on load development help a lot. Every time I go to the range I have my reloading note book with me. Even if I'm just practicing out in the desert I still take my notebook. It comes in handy at time.
