question;
I got a nice barrel used un fired, 6.5x55 match chamber Douglass Super match stainless, I mounted it on a Mauser MKX
interarms,MKX mauser receiver,EGW base 20 MOA Burris XTR scope, B&C Stock, glass bed, trued lapped lugs, will shoot it tomorrow
was able to shoot .5 MOA with factory ammo and stock mauser trigger
here is my question
I replaced the trigger with a nice 3 pound trigger, bought some HSM 142 grain BTHP ammo and shot 3 inch groups at 100 yards and all bullets were Keyholed, so I know 1/10 twist is not perfect for 6.5 but would I do much better with Higher Muzzle velocity or say 123 grain bullets as i am starting to put together my reloader.
only reason i got the 1/10 is it was a great price
Thanks
