Not looking for specific loads, just gathering a consensus (if there is one) on what powders and bullet weights generally give good accuracy.
I could not resist the T/C Compass sale and picked up a 6.5. It has 1/8 twist so heavier bullets should not be a problem. Will probably start with Varget,and some heavier match bullets.
Shot factory Hornady Black 140gr BTHP today in the wind and 3 of the 4 groups were between 1” and 1.1” at 100 yds. The 4th was almost 2”. I’m thinking with an optimum handload I can cut that down a bit. Not bad for a $180 rifle!
Any shared wisdom is appreciated.
