A 5 shot group on a fairly calm morning at 300yds. Tikka M595 with 8 twist 30" Lothar barrel, and CG Jackson trigger.
Windage adjusted after the first shot, the next three were almost touching, then I got all excited and messed up shot 5.

What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Re: Good 6.5 x 47 result.........
Use of this weight of RS52 could result in a Pmax (chamber pressure) of 4939 bar.........(sorry Dromia, 71629 psi), which is somewhat higher than the 6.5 x 47 design Pmax of 63091 psi..
Estimated Pmax using 40.6 grains of RS60 is 55512 psi (Quickload). Muzzle velocity was 2940 fps.

Using foreign measurements is just meaningless to people educated in British units of measurement.
