Who shoots it, and how does it shoot? Also, what are you shooting it out of? Anyone shooting it out of a tikka?

It was right at MOA in my rifle at 100, my buddy shot a one hole group with it. Depends on your barrel. Both Tikka, but both had an aftermarket barrel.
Howa 1500, Proof Research 20" carbon, built by SAC. My rifle didn't seem to like it very much, 1.21" at 100 yds. Vertical was right at .25", but the horizontal opened up to the 1.21". Not terrible by any means, but it consistently shoots 140 and 147 ELDs inside .50".
I've had amazing results with the FGGM 140gr SMK load (GM65CRD1) in my Tikka Tac A1. It's a pretty low BC bullet, but the tangent ogive bullet is a tac driver.
The 130 Berger was a little under 3/4 MOA at 100 for me out of a JP LRP-07 in 6.5 Creed. No Tikka in the stable though.
Federal switched all their 6.5 Creedmoor brass over to the small rifle primer. The velocity SD's are lower because of it.
140 SMK FGMM small rifle primer brass. Shoots very well out of my Tikka T3x Tac a1. Just under one MOA 10 shot group, 1/2-3/4 moa for 2-3 shot groups and easily "minute of steel"
The SRP brass weighs about 175gr compared to Hornady which is 155, and Lapua SRP weighing in at 168 or so.

Nice! That's a good load. I've done well in matches with that one. But I'm suspicious that it might not be the best out past 800 yds.
Exactly. It had a SD of 10 and ES of 35 or close to that out of my rifle. I chose the 142 over the 140 to do my reloading though.
