Here are some of the bullets that influenced me to switch from .257 to 6.5mm. The one on the left is the stubby .257 I was using in the .257SLR. The next two will be used in the two 6.5SLR (nine twist) and he last two will be used in the 6.5RUMLN (8 twist). All have 26" barrels.
They are G.S.Custom85HV, G.S.Custom106HV, Lupua Scenar 123, Cutting Edge hunting 130, Matrix 142
