I have a 6.5-06 improved (ackley 40 degree) with a 26" stainless lilja barrel in 1:8 twist. I know that I am on the heavy side of the twist range, and therefore must shoot heavy bullets to get stabilization. I have the sierra 142gr BTHP match bullets, and man are they long. Anyway, I am having a problem getting this one in the ballpark of a good group. I am wondering if I shouldn't step her out to 200yds and see if the group doesn't tighten up. Sometimes those long, heavy, high BC bullets don't steady up until after 100yds. Anyone?,..........anyone?............

A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.
