[QUOTE="Terry3006, post: 1873916, member: 90537"] I’ll be 72 this year, none of my kids are reloading. They can but my oldest son and grandson bow hunt mostly and my other son likes pistols and factory ammo. He shoots a lot but mostly 9mm. Anyway I was getting tired of it. I’ve been reloading since the mid 1970’s. Had a couple of good friends( young guys) just getting into reloading so they came over and got it all. Good guys and they are enjoying it !!! So I head to the range today for the first time with 3 rifles and all factory ammunition. Pre 64 270 is shooting around 1” per several 3 shot groups with Barnes 130 TTSX. Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5 Creedmoor is an inch (some better) with several groups. I used all factory loads, Hornady 147 ELDX 2710 FPS, Berger 156 EOL 2638 FPS, and Berger 135 Classic Hunter 2735 FPS Then a GAP Xtreme Hunter, 6.5 PRC, I shot only Hornady 143 ELDX , 3010 FPS. Around 18 shots today at just barely a little over an inch for all. So, I was happy with the results today shooting at 100 yards !! Gonna shoot in a few days at 200 yards then later this summer we’ll be shooting out to 900 and in between with the 65’s. Life is still good, haha !!! [/QUOTE]
