Thread: Powder for 6.5 06 and 140gr projectile

Neither would shoot - both based on Mauser 98 actions though . . . . the first one was found to have a shot out barrel. The second one was based round a brand new Kreiger barrel, took a long time to get (one of the last jobs done through Din Collings, I think one of the grandsons actually did the work) and bugger me it didn't shoot either. I tried quite a few things but in the end got sick of it. Some time later I put the barrel into a Ruger Precision rifle as a 6.5 Creedmore and it shot lights out, like 0.5 MOA easy.

I wouldn't take to much from either of these examples, as I mentioned other 6.5-06's I have known shot very well.
