47.5gr of MR2000, 185 Juggernaughts 5 shot groups at 300 yards. Yes there are five shots in each pic! Fooled me too LOL I am hoping to get things even tighter, this was virgin Lapua brass.

 
Ted,
What's the difference in the load/conditions for the three targets, if any? If you can consistently shoot groups like the one shown in the 3rd target pic, you'll be giving Steve a run for his money! Are you going to bring this load/setup to Pendleton 1000 yd matches next week, or stick with the 6.5x47?

HW, yes it is the ftr with a 30" Krieger 1/10 heavy palma. No pressure at all

Greg, top 2 were off the bench, bottom was prone. Light breeze typical SBRG conditions. Yes I am bringing this set up this weekend. Are you shooting both days? I can only shoot one of them.

Was that today? Must've just missed you. Ted you said this weekend, the 1000 yard matches got bumped to next weekend, the 13th and 14th. I just noticed the other day, it's on the SMGC home page. What day you going, I'm going to show up at least one of the days now that I have ammo.
 
I just worked up a Mr-2000 load also and i'm really liking it. Recipe as follows 175 sierras, 47.5 gr Mr-2000, Lapua brass, Fed primers, this load is pushing 2960 with no pressure at all 1/2 moa or better i'm really starting to like this powder i'm running a Remington Action trued and blued with a Krieger 1/10 SS cut to 28 This is my F t/r Rifle
