Ya your right, I forgot about that cannelure on the SST's.
Thank you! My school schedule got real crazy, 17 credits, 66 hrs of cooperative work experience, and a 10 hr. Police Reserve Academy course every Saturday plus part time work at a local bike shop has chewed up all my free time. Finally the CWE is done, I will have a day or two freed up.
I think Stokesrj has an excellent idea for collecting some common loads that should work well in "all" rifles chambered in 6.5 Grendel. Count me in, I'm intrigued by the notion and I believe that this is a very achievable goal. Since I have all of the components on hand, I will try out LR1955's proposed load of 28.5g XBR under 120g SMK @ 2.22 oal and a CCi BR-4 primer (the gun shop was out of 450) in Hornady brass
I would propose as a candidate - 123g Nosler Custom Competition, 31g LeveRevolution, CCi 450/BR-4, OAL @ 2.230", 2656 Avg Vel. from a 24" bbl, Avg accy for "two" 5 shot groups .875 moa @ 100 yds
