I got a new 6.5 x 47 lapua from Tactical Rifles. Started out with 140 bergers with H4350 - shot nice groups - some weights better than others - my gun seems to really like 39 grains - sub 1 moa at 200 yards. Shot 50 rounds total.

Next trip to the range I tried H414 with 100 and 140 bergers - second 50 rounds through the new gun - groups were horrible.
Conditions were similar.

I broke in the rifle as instructed but didn't clean during the second 50 rounds. I'm thinking it has to be the powder.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
