I’ve shot quite a few combinations in my new 6.5 lately. I’ve settled on 140 Berger Hunting VLDs with 43.7 RL16 and BR2s for hunting deer and elk and longer range plinking. Consistently shoots .4-.7 in my Fieldcraft. Last three were clocked by labradar at 2778, 2775, 2776. I’ve been trying different support combinations at the bench so group sizes have varied a bit more than normal.
130 Sierra Tipped Gamekings have been a disappointment. Best group I could get with RL16 was at 44.5gn for groups of .9-1.0. Only three shots each. Velocity was 2850s. Switched to RL17 and had slightly better accuracy on average. .85” at 42.6gn (2832, 2812, 2820). 1.0” at 43.2. Only one reading of 2850.
