    Updating this thread, Rain day, got the 5.6x50R up and running, shoots very well, and puts all bullets tried, into roughly the same point of impact at 100m, 52 gr speers, 53gr TSX, 53 v-max all sitting, at roughly 3450-3500fps.
    63gr Serria SMP and 70 Speer are also shooting well, Rifle didnt like 62gr Serria, 6" group for 4 shots,
    hopefully check speeds on 63gr soon.
    The RWS 50, and 55 gr Ammo is expensive but fast (50gr @3450) and accurate, the S&B ammo is slow and about 2" groups, always seams to have, at least one flier, away from main group. However the brass is good and i am up to 5-6 loads now on it.
    Gathered up 220 rounds of S&B 50gr, bought 40 rounds of RWS, ouch, and traded 2 Big bags of coffee, for another 100 RWS 50, 55gr ammo, Score !
    Very Impressed with this K95 barrel,
