6.5 Creedmoor, reloads using 4X fired Hornady Brass, 140 gr ELM bullets, and 41.6 gr of H4350.

Used my MPR to take 2nd place in the Utah Summer Games 1,000 yard steel plate challenge. Felt good to earn a Silver medal with a factory gun against a group of competitors mostly shooting $4,000 custom rifles in wildcat calibers.

Just got a Scout Squad. The Mount to replace the rear sight with a primary arms 3X prism has really peaked my interest.

Some more:

I took a bunch of pictures of my MPR for the Christensen Arms photo contest. I didn’t place, but thought you guys might enjoy them.

Someone a few pages back asked me to attempt a 10 shot group after showing several 5 shot groups. I attempted the 10 shot group today:

That’s crazy. How did you end up finding one in Canada?

Thank you for the review of the competition model. I’ve searched online and YouTube for months and it’s like no one is talking about it. I love my carbon fiber barreled MPR but am looking to pick up this model for PRS style matches.

Took my 6.5 MPR out for another run of reloads. This time using 41.3 grains of H4350, 140 gr Hornady ELD match, CCI #200 primers and once fired Hornady brass. 5 rounds, shot about 20 seconds apart one after the other:

Tried some new hand loads on Sunday. Everything was between .5-.75 MOA until I tried the 5 I had loaded with 41.6 grains of H4350…

I still can’t believe another company hasn’t bought out his design, patents if he had them, etc to keep bottom metal going. And not just for FN/Winchesters. He made bottom metal for a lot of bolt action rifles.

Anyone get their hands on the new MPR PRO competition model?

I put the M*Carbo spring in my A3G and got it down to 1.5 lb. Did the drop test about 30 times, including a couple times where I was worried I would hurt the rifle from hitting the buttstock against the ground so hard. It never went off. Zero issues.

I’m in your same boat OP. I have probably 1,000 once fired factory Hornday brass and just got into reloading in the last 6 months. My view is I’d rather “learn from my mistakes” on the cheap brass I already own before I upgrade to Lapua. But as you can see from the two pics above, my Hornday...
