Try 40.1 again mate. Did you use a rear rest. Maybe the barrel was warm. I trying nosler 140 ref.. with 40.6 I had really good group. And with 41.2 I was getting nearly as well groups but sd was 3 and es was 7.... I reckon the 41.2 to 41.5 will be the sweet spot.

If ya bolt is hard to open after firing I’d probably be cautious. How is the bolt if you just chamber and eject without firing. Safely of coarse

The velocity your getting is in the zone for what I’ve been told is best for accuracy in 6.5 caliber. 2550-2650 seems to be very good in my Swedes. However, the most accurate load in my 1941 husqvana is the starting load of 44 grains of re22 with 142 grains match kings. This load probably only does 2450 FPS, but is consistently accurate . Where are you at with overall cartridge length ? This can make a difference..cheers
