Thinking maybe Nosler got the message finally. We're it not for the RDF having a more pointed tip, I would have a very difficult time telling it from the Berger Hybrid. Still haven't been able to locate any 147gr ELDs. None even showing up on gunbot.

John,

I'm thinking the 139 Scenar would look good in that picture....

The 136 scenar has been very accurate for us as well. Lot of good 6.5 bullets coming online.

Reading reviews from some of those who were involved in testing as well as a few others, RDF's don't seem to be as sensitive to seating depth as other bullets. I'm still waiting on a couple of items, but will soon be loading for my new 6.5. I think I'm going to start with RDF's.

I just did a ladder and then 5 groups of different seating depth in a 223ai with rdfs. I found they shot notably better with a kiss.
