Good day at the range with the HOWA 6.5x55. The second group using the ABLR is with a hot barrel. I get the same group with the ABLR as I do the SST with this load.

Bbear, What is the COAL of your load? What primer are you using? How long is your Pac-nor barrel? Thanks Mike

I have new Houge HOWA 6.5x55 purchased new in September 2016. I am having good luck with H4350 and Nosler 129 grain ABLR. I am getting less than 1/2" groups constantly with it. The more I shoot it the tighter the groups are getting. I tried RL19, RL22, IMR 4350, IMR 4064 but my rifle really...
