    6.5 creedmoor

    Hi all, I am new to the creedmoor. I have been developing a load with the 136L scenar and H4350. With 42gr I am getting an average velocity of 2777fps from a 24" barrel. It seems a bit slow for the powder charge. Am I over thinking this or do I have a slow barrel or batch of powder.

    Rifle Scopes POI change with NF scopes

    Hi all, Had an interesting experience last week with my NF 5.5-22. After putting 2 shots on the POI the next shot missed the 4x4 foot frame at 300 yards, thinking the mount had come loose I pulled it down and cleaned/loctited it and rechecked the scope. The scope had moved 10MOA up and 7 left...
