I have used a few bullets in a couple different 6.5's and the 147 ELD has worked really well on deer. Lots of great options, but I tend to use that bullet lately since it is available is usually very accurate as well. At 6.5 CM speeds it works really well.
Very cool Fotis. I have a Ruger 77/22 22 Hornet I had rechambered to 22 K-Hornet. So far this thing rips. I’ve been using H110 and the 35 V-Maxs in mine. It’s such a fun little rifle.
The old man worked with them a bit in his Kimber, the problem is you need to seat them so short in order to get out of the chamber I think it kinda limits them a bit. A 700 is probably a better match, or maybe a 150 ABLR. I think he kinda settled on the 160 AB for the majority of his hunting...
Ha! For sure Jim. If I can get the load tweaked decent I won't be shooting many of them up.
I'll get the old 70 shaped up Mike.. Just a bit more time..
Love em. We took 3 elk this past season with my 7 Mashburn Super from 490 to 605. The 175 ABLR is a crusher of a bullet. I can't say much else about it, it penetrates like a regular AB and expands like an ELD. Can't ask for more. If they shoot in your rifle, they'll put smiles on your face.
I took it out to 300 and gave them a whirl..
I'll throw a plug in for the Garmin, it is so easy to use, I don't mind just chucking it up next to the rifle since it requires nothing but setting it there and turning it on.
Anyhow, I shot the first 3. Everything looked good, that load...
Shot the 200 grain Noslers at 100
Not sure if it was me or the load, or maybe a combo, but it was good enough to try it at 400 yards. It was about 50 FPS on average slower than the Sierra's, but I wanted to see what they would do so I moved the mobile bench out..
I shot 3 of the Sierras...
