    A ladder test at 100 yards doesn't really tell you anything.

    I spent a bunch of time trying to decide between 6 and 6.5CM when I bought mine. I wound up going with 6.5, even though I have a bunch of 6mm bullets already. It'll be a fun rifle for you! But step back to 300 or so for that ladder test, if you want to get useful data.

      On a good shooting combination your results are pretty common for a ladder test.
      Those bottom 6 shots show the least amount of vertical and would be my pick to concentrate on.

        It is but what’s a bit confusing is there are lots of used ones listed for sale here.

        What’s up with that?

            I REALLY like hotrod 6mm rounds. I have tried many calibers for 1000 yard shooting and always go back to a 6mm.

            Now that many companies are offering rifles chambered in 6CM and good factory ammo is available...I see it becoming a very popular combo.

            Good luck on your load development.

                Oh man, sorry... I don't have audio on my computer right now and didn't even know about it... Still, rifle looks great with that stock!

                  Just discovered that Magpul makes a drop in stock that includes the removable magazine upgrade...

                              'specially when you're trying to hit soda can sized critters at a couple hundred yards...

                              I know a guy who shoots squirrels at 800 yards using a .22-250. I hafta learn his secrets.
