Finally got around to shooting my HMR PRO 6.5 today. Conditions were pretty terrible as the wind was pretty steady at 5mph and gust up to 10-15. Made it difficult to hold steady and my target was moving with the wind as well.

enough excuses, I had loaded 5-3shot groups of 140 Berger vld and 5-3shot groups of 142 smk for a total of 30 rounds. I set up at approximately 90 yards and it took me 5 shots to get on paper and then one more to measure within the reticle and get close to poa.

The remaining 8-3 shots groups were all under .7 with the average under .5 the 142 smk shot the best with the best group and also the best group of my life at a .2

I continued up the ladder in charge weight tonight loading more 3 shot groups since I had zero pressure signs as well as 5 shot groups of the best smk and Berger’s from today’s shooting.

very satisfied with this rifle so far and I believe it has great potential

I have the HMR in 6.5. I was hell bent on getting the Pro in 6.5, until I shot the one I own. Owner gave me 5 rounds of factory ELD Match in 140 grain. Walked out and stacked 5 on top of each other. Bought it asap.

I have a couple of different loads with mine that are just stupid accurate. The VLD Target in 140 has been the best by far. I had one damn flyer out of a 5 shot group yesterday that would have been the difference between sub .3 moa and ended up being .464". SD's below 5 too.

When it's time to replace this barrel, I'm not sure if I'll replace it with custom or get the Pro. They are damn fine rifles.

I got the Pro in 308 though. Still working a load up on her. 175's over Varget haven't produced the best groups yet. I bought some 168 ELD Match's to try and see if I can pull better accuracy. I have it shooting just a hair over .5 MOA with single digit SD's, but I know it's capable of more.

I shot this group with my HMR using S&B 140gr FMJ.

This is probably a lucky group. I spent 10 minutes to set up to shoot this. Going over the fundamentals I learned on here, dry firing on the target. Then I shot it. I thought I hit it once then my other rounds were off target somewhere. I was amazed.
