[QUOTE="jc5420, post: 2790765, member: 16425"] [COLOR="#FF0000"][U][/U][B]ETA: SOME PICTURES UPLOADED SIDEWAYS[/B][/COLOR] So after my range session today I have gathered a very small sample size of data to further my testing. Today I was able to shoot a ladder test at 600 yards and 4 separate premade loads at 600 yards. Rifle Tested: Beanland Custom Surgeon 591 Benchmark 6.5 MTU 24" Silencer Tech 3G suppressor McMillan A3-5 Bedded Kahles 624i Hawkins Rings [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i57.photobucket.com_albums_g211_jared87_Mobile_20Uploads_IMG_20150619_002103_zpsvrdq8get.jpg[/IMG] Cartridge tested: 6.5x47 Lapua .002" neck tension (Once fired) CCI 400 Standard Small Rifle Varget powder 140gr Berger Hybrid .015" from lands The ladder test gave me some information, but I believe for whatever reason shot 6 landed out of place. I feel that every shot taken today was well executed and that I was "On my game" In this picture the shots are marked X,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. These numbers correspond with the charge weights tested, the 1 = 35.1, 2 = 35.2, 3 = 35.3 and so on.
