Shot out the 6.5 creed barrel, now trying a 6br. These are three shot groups at 100. Barrel is broken in with 50 rounds through it. Using once fired Lapua, Varget, BR4s, 107SMK, Touch. I can explain target #1 but not #7. Yes that is three in #8. This rifle, on the bench, with a 3" forearm adapter and good rest. BTY I get hard bolt lift with 30.4.
My 1st 6br.

mike a, what type of barrel are you using? Looks like barrel nut too. Thinking about doing a Remage.
This is a Savage prefit, Shilen Select Match. Check out Northland Shooting Supply. I love being able to change barrels at home.

You have a good looking rifle there. Looks like it's going to be a shooter too. I have all Remington stuff is why I'm going to do the Remage. What stock is that. I have a Manners T5A and really like it but am open to trying other stocks also.
That's a McMillan Gamewarden in Coyote Ambush molded in.

Thanks, I like that stock. I have been looking at NSS and getting my funds together. What contour is that? I'm thinking of ordering an MTU contour and a lighter contour for ghogs and coyotes.

Well you are officially ruined now
. Everyone seems to have their own definition of "touching" the lands, but touching has been a dangerous place for me. Just a leetle bit of difference in the ojive can cause flyers. I try to stay away from .005 off to .005 in. Course you are already outshooting me so free advice can be what you pay for it.

Great guy.
I watched them lap a barrel at the Shilen factory during their last open house/flea market. The video camera they use to look down the bore is AMAZING. Displayed on a big flat screen TV lets the technician do his magic without stooping over a borescope. Better, faster, cheaper. Usually you only get to pick any two of those three conditions, but they broke the rules on that one.
I just got my first Shilen select match barrel in a few days ago. Can't wait to try it out.

That's why you you shoot so good you have the right mind for it LOL.
All in Fun, of course...
It Has to remain Fun, or were all gonna be disappointed if we're only in it for the money! LOL

My shilen prefit shot best around 29.5 by looking at your groups I would try a load around the 29.5 range and adjust seating depth until it tightened up.
