New Wheeler 6.5x47L

[Drop Port]

Had a pile of parts floating around for a while, long story but they ended up with Alex Wheeler. I already have a 6.5x47L and it shoots so good I wanted another This one is a little lighter. Took it out today with a dozen rounds loaded up for break in and to start running it up looking for pressure. First three shoot and clean showed very little copper, After six rounds I put three in .400". Based on FB and prior rifles I had another three loaded a 1/2 grain higher and as expected it sucked in tighter. No doubt this thing will shoot, after a dozen rounds its already headed in the right direction.

Finally got some time to get back out and do a seating test. I started out light touch at the lands, then tried .005 in and there was verry little change, when I came .005 off it liked it.

Why you only shoot the one shot?
