After shooting the rifle yesterday, I cleaned the barrel, and loaded up some more ammo to try. Load was 43.5 grains of StaBall and a 129 grain SST, Hornady case, CCI primer. I've not had much success with the 129 SST in the other 6.5's I had, but want to give it a chance before forgetting about it. I tried a different target setup this time, and it suits my eyes better. The first shot is marked, the other 4 went into about .65 of an inch, with the entire ground still being about 3/4 of an inch. I believe I can work with this powder and bullet combo and come up with something that will work. All in al, I'm pretty happy with the rifle.
