[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3586966, member: 15054"] I shot the 6.5 yesterday with a new load. H4350 41.4 gr. CCI 200. R-P cases 1 time fired, cleaned and annealed. 140 A-Max 2.802" OAL 3 shots with no rest between shots then set the Savage Axis rifle down for 40 minutes and shot 2 more at the same spot. I noticed when I picked up the rifle after the rest period that the scope had rotated :( I did not have the screws tight enough. Fail on my part. Still shot a decent group and I will play with seating depth and see if I can tighten it up. .770" center to center. 100 yards. I also need to take that one to 200 yards and see if it holds together. I have cut the barrel shorter on this rifle it measures 19" to the bolt face. [ATTACH=full]208375[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
