Those Berger 130 Hybrids with RL16 and/or H4350 are a hidden gem. Like you, I'm getting about 2,900 FPS and tiny groups. I shot a .63" 5 shot group at 305 yards yesterday using this load through my AI AT-X last night. I'm pretty sure that's the smallest 5 round group I've ever shot at 300, most of them are around 1" with this same load. I'm really really impressed. I used to only use these Berger 130's in my ar-10, now I'm using them in every 6.5 CreedmoorI’ve been shooting the 6.5 creed for the last 12 years. My go to was always 41.8 H4350 with a 140 ELD and 15 thou jump. Always gave me 2800 fps with a 24-26” Krieger. Always a solid recipe, like old reliable. Recently I tried RL-16 with a 130 hybrid.42.2 with a .020 jump. 2900 fps. SD’s in the 3’s and bugholes like I’ve never seen before. Has easily been the most accurate and consistent load I’ve tried over the years. Wish found it sooner.
Lapua 136 Scenars with VV N555 are also awesome. I get similar accuracy, 2,850 FPS and stupid low SD's with this load.
I really think the sweet spot with 6.5 Creedmoor is 130 - 136 grain bullets. Pushing these safely at 2,850 - 2,900+ more than offsets the heavy for caliber higher BC 6.5 bullets

I went out and bought some Tikka weights today, the store didn't have many but I bought all they had, added about 1.1kg to the rifle and now it's a pretty nice weight and balances well (with bipod and suppressor).
Tikka have introduced an external weight now which you can pair with the internal weights. The external ones don't hang down and obstruct the ARCA rail, and they replace the little side panels that come with the internal weights.
They are kind of a stupid shape as they overlap each other and don't really make the best use of the forend real estate.
2 pairs of internal weights combine with one pair of external weights.
I put off buying weights for this rifle as I bought it for factory class in the IPRF22 competition. I've now learned that I am actually allowed to run a factory rifle with added weights if they are made by the manufacturer. So I rushed out to buy as many weights as I could, as the competition starts this week.
I wanted to longer forend too, but it wasn't available.
The internal weights are hellishly expensive, but the externals aren't badly priced.
They were easy enough to fit but the forend end cap now doesn't fit, so a bit of an oversight from Tikka.

Unity CTM on a BAE UTM

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have both the skeet and the UTM to look and see if the mounting shoe is the same?
I’d like to buy the ctm mount to make it easier to mount my UTM on multiple rifles.
Thanks!

I have for sale a slightly used Zero Compromise Optic for sale. It is overall in great shape but has some slight anodize fading from the rings and a tiny mark on the elevation turret. I have probably fired less than 200 rounds of 6 dasher through it and it's an awesome scope but mainly use Tangents for matches and don't really have plans to use this.
It has the 10 mil NLE turret and the locking windage. Awesome scope and the glass is flawless.
Comes with the ranger wrap that was installed before mounting so under the wrap it is just like it came from the factory.
Has an option to come with a Hawkins scope mount in anodized green and 1.25" height. Or can come with a MPA 1.25" height, 0moa, 36mm mount.
-Scope price with no mount $3750
-With Hawkins mount $3950
-With MPA mount $3900
Looking to sell or could consider a trade for a tangent theta.
PayPal payment friends/family please.
