Reviving this thread because I got a chance to get out and shoot a little bit after missing 5 weeks due to shoulder surgery (non-firing shoulder).
It was supposed to be a re-test of all the good loads I've found so far for my 6.5x47, plus a bracketing test for the 130gr Norma and H4350 (last group in the charge weight range was my best).
Whole-Lotta suck to start this session off. I had swapped scopes, and even though I used a touch of blue Loctite and torqued to 15in/lb...the ring screws (as in every frigging one of the eight) came loose on me today (did not on previous shooting session...or at least not enough to screw with my groups). My .281" 5-shot 123 Scenar and Reloader 15 re-test ended double grouping right out of the gate. Scratching my head and blaming myself I did that twice more before I took a screwdriver to every screw to check. Couldn't figure out why I went from .2s and .3s to MOA...idiot.
Anyway, after discovering the issue, I generously applied Loctite again and just ham fisted the screws back in in disgust. I still had two groups left to shoot...both were with the 130gr Normas and H4350.
Managed a .327" today (5 shot groups) at my next highest charge, and then a .533", which saw shot #3 go a touch high as my cheap-ass uses a $10 Champion rear bag that doesn't fit my buttstock. Basically my bag settled during the squeeze. Add in my .253" from June, and it looks like I've got about a 4-tenth wide node that provides acceptable accuracy for me.
Please excuse the "POA shift"...my dumbass meant to write POI...point of aim remained the same.
It's a slow load, but I do like the way the ES and SD are tightening up. I'm going to call it good for load development with H4350 with this bullet. There might be another node higher, but this is a fun rifle for me and I'm enjoying the thought of good barrel life with this level of accuracy.
