Just thought that it may be of interest to some of you 6.5x47 devotes??,
After my succes at the 600yrd benchrest comps earlyer this year,

I thought that i would enter into the 100yrd UKBRA comps that are run throughout the summer here at the Diggle ranges and really test this rifle out???.
Rifle, Accuracy international AW, Border archer 8.5 twist barrel
Load, 130g jlk bullets,
38.3g of varget
cci450 primer
First comp of the year, groups were not to shabby and did manage to get second place and i also got a small group patch for that day,,,,
This seemed to be the norm for the next tree comps??, second place and a small group patch for the day????.
I did find that my setup was not as good as it could of been, sand in the front bag was to soft, that was an easy fix just add a bit more,,,,
I did not notice untill later after i had done a few comps that my new brass was not giving very good groups??, i always take two boxes and just did not notice or relise untill it was to late??, back to using the old brass that had been reloaded at least 15 times, and yes i got some really small groups,,,
Barrel has now over 2500 round count and still going strong,,,,,
I think that the new brass really need less neck tension untill it has had a few firings under its belt??, this is just my thoughts on the matter,,,, perhaps some one might like to add there comments on this,,,,,
Anyway here are a few of the groups that got me quite a few small group patches,,,,
This group was shot on my sighter, reel shame as it was the smallest group that the rifle as ever shot???,
A few other new additions to my reloading setup,,,
