Loaded my first batch of ammo ever:

6.5 Creedmoor
Tikka T3x 1:8 Twist 24" barrel
130 grain Berger OTM Tactical
IMR 4451
CBTO 2.770 (0.010 off lands)
30 rounds
37-42 grains ascending .5 grains 3 rounds each

I'm looking forward to shooting over the chronograph to find nodes and see how each charge weight groups at 100 yards.

The great thing is even .010 off lands the rounds fit in my magazine.

I shoot the 130 Berger hunting out of my 6.5x47. It's been a great bullet for me on targets and deer. I'm using 42.2 gr of H4350. 26" Broughton gets me 2950 FPS. Let us know how it shoots.
