Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Need help on COAL for 6.5 WSM

Hey guys I'm at work out of town and just sitting here thinking about my next build. I'm pretty set on a 6.5WSM. My question is since I don't have the brass of the bullets here with me to measure I'm wondering if anybody can give me there COAL for 120 barnes TSX and 130 Bergers. I'm thinking about using a short action but don't wanna have to seat the bullets way in to fit in the magazine. Thanks, Trent

I am running 2.970" coal on my 6.5 WSM with 130 Berger VLDs.

Berger Manual for 270 WSM shows 2.860 OAL for 130 gr. VLD's.


I'm shooting 140 gr. Sierra Spitzers in mine.........



100 yds.



200 yds.



Since your have a custom rifle built, get with your smith on COAL.


Best,
