I finally have my 6.5 dialed in.
Was struggling to find a good load for it, but wasn't getting any better than 1" at 100yds. Even with factory Match ammo. I had one particular load that the chrono kept saying should have been very good...Std Deviation 4-5 and ES 10-12fps consistently over 5o Rounds and 3 range trips.
This was with a Savage FCP-SR with their Accustock.
So I ordered up an MDT HS3 chassis and picked up a PRS buttstock from a member here. The action dropped right in, no fitting at all. Torqued it to spec and headed out.
To say I'm happy with the result is an understatement.
This is a 10 shot group, including 1 clean cold bore and 1 called flyer. If you throw those 2 shots out, it's an 8 round group at .417". With the flyer, it's at .516"
Now to stretch it out!
