Recently picked up a Bergara HMR pro 6.5 creed. This is by far the nicest bolt rifle I have owned. What should I be expecting in terms of accuracy? If anyone would care to share any groups it would be appreciated.
Waiting on my PST 6-24 to come in from euro optics.

5/8 maybe
3/8 if you're lucky and a good shot
I’m hoping it’s under half inch. I had a savage 10t 6.5 that I worked up a 147 eld load that would print .5-.6 pretty regular.
This time I am starting with 140 Berger vld target, 142 smk H4350, RL16, lapua brass and CCI BR-2
 
Ran some 130 Berger hybrids with both IMR4451 and RL16 the same afternoon. They ran about an inch with the IMR4451 until the upper end of the loads I was trying and closed down to a couple of acceptable groups which can just be covered with a dime at 41.3 and 41.6 grains. Again only three shot groups so I don't feel they're statistically valid. These loads and the loads in the photo above are reduced from the published loads I've seen because the Petersen brass has a slightly reduced capacity. I think my rifle will safely handle a bit more powder, and there may be something decent to be found there.
The RL16 gave an easy 100fps boost, but only brought 2 rounds each charge and didn't bother grouping them, just sent them at steel for the vel. numbers.
