[QUOTE="KurtB, post: 1631871, member: 2106"] I finally caved and had my daughter's rig rebarreled to 6.5 creedmoor. She will never reload and I didn't want to leave her wanting for factory ammo. So it was an easy choice. Bought my first box of factory ammo in over 20 years for it and went to the range. Boresighted and chrono'd the 135 grain Berger factory ammo. First three shots right at .4". Dialed the SWFA scope up and over, plugged in numbers for 2760 fps out of the 22" barrel. And finished up the box shooting tiny groups out to 500 yard steel. Guess I need to buy 10 boxes of that stuff, but not being able to leave well enough alone shot a few 140 vld and 147 eld handloads. All at or under .5 moa. She should be set it looks like. Just saying it was the easiest rig I ever setup. But the hype is so bad that my next will be another 6.5x47 lol. [/QUOTE]
