Wow, that is good shooting.
I'm not seeing the 135s of their webpage. Am I missing something?

Brand new bullet that Steve Milholland just brought out. I shot some proto's a few months ago, then just received 500 from the first production.
G1 BC is .620 at 3150fps(6.5 SAUM). I haven't tried them in my .260 yet.

OK, thanks.
I'll probably stick to AMAX or bergers this year in my 6.5x284, since the new ELDs are hard to find and go quickly when they are available (and likely will continue to do so until the new is knocked off of them), but may have to look into those 135s when they're readily available.
Thanks!

Very good shooting! I'll be interested to hear how they work in your 260. I've been happy with the 139gr Scenar, but wouldn't be against trying something else. PS- If you keep this up, you'll have to change your screen name...

This load is IMR 7977, worked up from 59.5 grains.
61.4 grs IMR 7977
Hornady 2nd run brass
Tula LRM primer
2.950" coal
2.190" bto
3150 fps
135 is a nice balanced weight bullet for this round in my opinion, filling a little nitch....the more choices, the better. Steve is also working on a 147gr JLK as well.

Pat,
Same length as the 130 and 140? Have you shot the Nosler 140 gr RDF?

Thanks for the report Pat, always nice to catch some winds like that for testing! Looks like a great 6.5mm option, bullet choices are so very good these days.
What's your take on pointed vs unpointed JLK's on animals?
Empirical results rule!
