[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1754627, member: 17593"] I sure ain't in your accuracy world as I have very, very little comp shooting under my belt. I congratulate you on your significant accomplishments! I do, however, reload and have a few custom rifles. One is an AR in 6.5 Grendel. I could never get both accuracy and speed the factory ammo has. With speed, accuracy wasn't there. With accuracy, speed wasn't. Could not make it work so I shoot factory. I tell you that for no particular reason. Just FYI. I did have two 6mms that I enjoyed reloading; the 6mmRem A.I. and a .243 with 12 twists. Both loved the Sierra 85 gr.hpbt. Now, having said that, I will say I like the KIS (no second s) method to find why a good rig isn't doing what you want it to do. I am a proponent of using the best mounts, great scope, and mounted properly. I also use a bubble level which really helps at distant (past 100) targets. My Kis method might want you to examine the chamber and especially the tight neck. Bore scope the lands and groves. Check the crown. The heavy barrel probably should be full bedded. Check action screws. You probably already did all this. If all checks out a-ok; I donno. Maybe re-chambering is in order. What you have should work! But there's probably that one little something keeping it from it..... [/QUOTE]
