Ive been working on a load that would shoot out of my 6.5 saod 20" 1:8 LW50 barrel and my sons 19.5 1:9 AA grendel chambered barrel. A couple weeks ago I finally got a really good group with the 6.5 saod using 123 smk, 28.5 8208 xbr, rem 9 1/2 primer, wolf brass trimmed to 1.52, and coal 2.260. Group was 3/4" with a flyer. Four shot was 5/8". That was my best group with the two powders blc2 and xbr over 123 ncc and 123

This sierra outperformed the ncc near max powder charge in my rifle. I dropped the charge to 28.4 and made sure that I trickled it right at 28.4 then set the bullet deeper 2.255 from 2.260. Here are the results.

Even though the grendel chamber didnt shoot it as well it still shot descent with a 10 power scope opposed to the 16 power on the 6.5 saod. The grendel barrel isnt as broken in w/80 rounds through it and has the slower twist.

I also finally found a descent shooting 140 grain Sierra Match King load out of the 6.5 saod. 140 smk, 28.5 blc 2, 2.250, case trimmed to 1.517. Shot a half inch group with a flyer that I know I pulled.
