I have, basically when your loads are near or at maximum powder charge is where accuracy potential was found.

It shoots.
Shot # 3-6 left, 7-9 right
Waypoint 6.5PRC with Factory Hornady 143gr ELDX. Nikon 3-9 (saving for much better scope). Harris bipod off bench, as you can see. Caldwell chronograph.
I did have a bolt not go All the way forward when practicing with it. It discombobulated me. Turns out a small Allen screw backed out on bottom of bolt, preventing it to go fully forward in battery. I'll check with Springfield and see if locktight is ok to use. It's a factory rifle and not put together by a gunsmith.
The magazine does move some, but I can fix that. Turns out the 6.5prc uses a different magazine than all other Waypoints currently in production.
But the bullet does go where I put it. I think it well be a great hunting rifle for me. I may change to a trigger tech Special from Primary. I'm at 2 lbs, and like the one I have in my 30-06 that at 1lb. It's a great trigger as is at 2-2.5lbs. I also haven't heated the barrel up to see if it walks, I have read both.
If anyone has an inn for brass I need some. I only have 2 box of Hornady ammo.
I do have Rutumbo, MagPro and H 4831SC to start. Redding Master Hunter dies and for bullets:
143 ELDX
Berger 153 EOL
I did call Hornady about brass, they are in production for 143 and 147 eldx. They are focusing all brass in ammo production.
She said to look for ammo in stores in June.
This will be my whitetail gun.
