Thanks for the info JL. If you don't mind saying, does your rifle prefer any particular bullets or loads?

I just got back from the range. Got mostly 3/4” to 1-1/4” groups with all three of the 6.5-300 loads I have. This time, the 140s underperformed the other two. Don't know if the new stock could make that happen or it's coincidence.

I was waiting about four minutes between shots to keep from overheating the barrel.

Then, when it was time to go home, I just let it rip with the last five rounds I had with me of the 127gr LRXs, one after another.

Oddly, that was my best result.

I shot the last two on a separate target, but the center of all five would have been within 1/2” of each other.

Maybe the barrel's settling in. Who knows? I think the new stock helps. The action didn’t budge by all appearances during my shooting spree.

Probably going to go back again this weekend and play around some more.
