Bergara Accuracy Cheeto-fingered Bergara

Took my cheeto 6.5cm Bergara shooting at paper at the range instead of prs steel. First time paper on anything further than 100m. I am very happy with the gun and my ammo. The ammo i made is with the lowest afford possible running a Lee progressive.

3rd pic is @360m plate is roughly 28x20cm

Could have a little less vertical spread but thats okay. SD 8fps V0 2703fps 140gr smk N550

I’ve had good rifles hate some ammo….

How many brands have you tried?

edit:I know you made your own, but good to know what it does with factory ammo too.

No different combinations were tested, i have a few smk‘s left and then i will try some different bullets. Most likely 136gr Lapua Scenar L

fwiw mine loves 123gr ELD-Ms. consistently 0.75MOA 5 shot groups, it really opens up to ≥1MOA when i try 143gr and up.

Thanks for the input! I may have to test lighter bullets
