Had a few hours out with si and del yesterday

if this is in the wrong section then im sorry

after all im an air gunner lol

si set the target board out to 100mtrs and dell went first shooting his rifle with 6,5x55 rounds

then past it to me and sayd set your self away if you miss the target you will not hear the last of it on thl ill make sure of that

any way i did not lol

put the first three in the center but a little to the left reloaded then put the 4th in one of the same holes

si was next and did a 5 shot group with his 223 then i put a 6,5x55 round in the center of his group

Im going to be honest hear i did not do as good with the 223 but hey its my first time on rifles like these

iv shot vis,s 17hmr before but not rifles like these

iv got an invite out with them both deer stalking so im going back down soon

6.5 X 55 is a peach of a cartridge and I prefer it to anything 6mm.

Yes, it works with 95 gr to 160gr bullets and uses nice slow powders. I always like slower powders for there recoil characters.

The groove diameter is very close to 7mm. It's actually closer to being a 7mm than a 6mm!
