Well, I was a competition shooter. Haven't been for a couple or so years but I'm booking in for a national shoot in August. It's 500 & 300 Metre Fly. Funny you mention the 6.5mm Swede as my favourite is a 6.5x47L which is a little different but not much. My best target has been 1.18" at 500 Metres and I'm looking at getting that under 1" which might be a dream but why not try. I also shoot that at 300m with a best at just on 0.4" for a 5 shot group. My Sako Varmint 243W at 300m has got me a 1st place in Factory Class so I'm hoping to repeat that over that weekend.
Enjoy the Hornet, it's a great calibre.
