Hi Friwi,
Any chance you can share a bit more about what you shoot with - brand, barrel length, optics.

Anything you plan to change on your current setup?

Hi,
First I am not a hardcore weekend competitor. I just shoot at my local range and. I sometime participate in a local match when I feel like it.
My rifle is a tikka 590 into a heavy laminated stock. Barrel is a 27" true flite ultra match. First barrel ever chambered by true flight in 6.5 creedmoor at the time.
If I wanted to be more competitive, I would go Barnard -S or P action. In 6.5 I would try to use the 147 gr Elm, ( so 1 in 8 twist) seated into a 6.5x55ai or 6.5-284 case. In 7 mm the 284 case as stated above.
If you want a barrel that last you more than 1 season then yes 6.5 creedmoor ,6.5x47 or even 6mmbr.
