First time out with CFE-223.
Would like some analysis as what you think of the groups. I have my own opinions but would surely like to here what you think. Can anyone explain what might have happened with the 28.1 group? I did have a 10 to 12 mph swirling wind at the range today. I can assure all that the POA was the same for all groups shot.

26.9 gr. Low ES. No vertical to speak of. The Horizontal is likely due to the wind you speak of.

6.5x47

I like the 26.6. Assuming this was at 100yd, I dont think you can account for the 2" offset on the 26.9. The ES is the best, but it doesnt look the best. Maybe work up in 0.1 increments 26.5- 27?

One basic way of tightening groups....flatbase bullets. Especially for small cal cartridges.
