Finally got around to shooting my HMR PRO 6.5 today. Conditions were pretty terrible as the wind was pretty steady at 5mph and gust up to 10-15. Made it difficult to hold steady and my target was moving with the wind as well.
enough excuses, I had loaded 5-3shot groups of 140 Berger vld and 5-3shot groups of 142 smk for a total of 30 rounds. I set up at approximately 90 yards and it took me 5 shots to get on paper and then one more to measure within the reticle and get close to poa.
The remaining 8-3 shots groups were all under .7 with the average under .5 the 142 smk shot the best with the best group and also the best group of my life at a .2
I continued up the ladder in charge weight tonight loading more 3 shot groups since I had zero pressure signs as well as 5 shot groups of the best smk and Berger’s from today’s shooting.
very satisfied with this rifle so far and I believe it has great potential
