So I decided to retire my 24” Howa 6.5 CM to hunting rifle. Little over 1400 rounds through it, but still easily groups around the 1/2”- 3/4” mark most of the time. I ordered a 26” heavy barreled action from brownells also in 6.5 CM. Only have 35 rounds through from yesterday and today. No groups at 100 yards yet, I just sighted it in during break in yesterday. This morning I shot four groups this morning at 350 yards. After I ran a few over the magnetospeed. Very happy with the results, one group wasn’t so good, but that was me not being great at calling the wind from 3’oclock. My wife and I are leaving for Chattanooga tm for our anniversary, so won’t get to try it out more until next weekend. Got a batch of brass ready and waiting for some 140 grain Nosler custom comps for when I get back.
