6.5 CM help/advice

[JFrank]

Well I’ll stick by my contribution in post #16, I try not to tell others how to handle their firearms or reload rather point out what helps me, and although I have been guilty in the past I also try very hard not to deal in conjecture.

Maybe the term flyer is just something I find distasteful as if a called flyer somehow makes it ok.

No such thing as "fliers" in Benchrest, so I get where you are coming from, but most of the world blames shots out of the group on things besides themselves or the load and calls them fliers.

Of course sometimes we should eliminate a bad shot that was our fault, not the loads or the guns, the rub is knowing when.

But no one gets better blaming poor shots on things other than themselves once they have a proven load/gun.

Took the 41.5 load out to distance today. Wasn't able to put it on paper at distance but was able to shoot a 3 round group at 500 yards.

Out to 1000 it showed very little vertical variations. Or at least a small enough amount that it didn't cause any misses.

At 1300 it showed up a little, but low misses weren't a big problem. Same thing at a mile. 90 percent of misses were wind related. About 10 percent missed low or high.

Here is the group I shot at 500 yards on steel. I wasn't necessarily trying to shoot for groups but I did try to have the same point of aim with each shot which isn't always the easiest with steel targets painted one color. I noticed after the group was pretty good so I took a picture. The Glock was used as a reference to get measurements when I got home.

**** top shot in the pic was a 223 from my SPR build. ****
