I built a 6.5x55 this fall on a 110 action. The barrel is a cbi 28" 8 twist bull. I have it in a choate tactical stock, it is not bedded right now.
With most of the loads I have tried so far I get two touching and then two more touching .5" or so over to the right. It has done this with brand new lapua brass and fl sized with a type s bushing die with a .292 bushing. I have only shot 140 amaxs with h4831 and 4350. I have played with length some, but not a whole lot yet.
I torqued thr action screws to 30 in. Lbs when I put the stock on. I have not tried any other torque yet.
Maybe I am jumping the gun on it, but should I bed it and see how it preforms? I was expecting/hoping this barrel would should .5 moa without even trying.
any other suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
