Alright, to get this thing back on track. It was a great day to be shooting today. Got out of the house and went to the range with a buddy and his new Ruger American predator 6.5 cm. I was wanting to make sure the glass bedding helped my CTR. Even though I won't be shooting my longrange event this month because of this damn virus thing!!

Tikka T3X CTR 6.5 creedmoor (24" barrel), NF SHV 5-20x56, handload of 140gr Hornady ELD Match bullets and H4350. Handloads are true (less than .003" TIR):

Target with caliper over one group for size reference, as per rules:

Yeah, I was pizzed when I pulled the 8th shot out of that one!!

AVG MOA: .544

It is very apparent that the glass bedding and new stainless steel recoil lug helped the accuracy of this rifle. If you guys are shooting, print up some of these targets and shoot them. Its good to know your rifle is capable of this kind of accuracy. Be safe and stay healthy out there!!!!
