Don't be too hard on me...but got time today to shoot my very first handloads and first rounds through this rifle.
MPA PMR Pro 2 chambered in 6.5CM 26" barrel. First thing I know I should have tracked is I had to pull some bullets and used the cases again without marking them. I know the neck tension was totally different and is what probably caused the poor ES and SD with most of my velocity testing.
I don't think I had a single "clean" group where I didn't pull a shot. The 39.6gr group was a total screw up as I pulled the trigger before I actually wanted to and then pulled another.
I was .020 off the lands with these rounds, will play with that some and try to find a good charge around 41.6-41.9. Any suggestions/comments welcome!
H4350
140 ELDM
CCI 450s
Unfired Lapua brass, only set neck tension with a black nitride 21st mandrel. It should be about .263 diameter.
Used an Atlas CAL bipod. Plan on using a sled next time. I need a better rear bag for more stability. My Cole-Tac one I have now is too small.
