Hahaha this thread is awesome. And the factory federal blue box 6.5x55 "garbage" I picked up locally to get my scope on paper was actually suprisingly accurate. Could just be the Shilen select match bull barrel though
. Been pushing pressures way past posted maximums thus far and have a few tweaks left to fine tune my High node load with the 140's. It helps using a modern action like the savage/stevens to really open up the true potential of this chambering. LOVE the 6.5!
