    Yeah. It didn't group quite as tight as handloads, but pretty fair at 1.1moa at 100m.

    Different day, different light, different chrony, I got just over 2500 from an 18" barrel and just over 2600 from a 22.5 barrel, both T3's, from the superformance load - handloading leaves factory loads for dead. 130 Berger goes 2950 for me in a 22.5 barrel T3.

    If you already have a heap of 6.5 brass, then that's a help to start with.
