Not for hunting, just curious about them for 1000 yard playing in a .260. Have seen some turn up here & there, at sometimes more sensible prices of late.

The BC seems unrealistic for a 140 @.653 when MK's & Bergers hover in the .610 range.

How they working out?

Thinking that's twice I've heard that, but not much talk about them. Thanks for your reply.

Not the 6.5mm versions, but the 6mm and 22 cal ones.

They like a jump, start at 80 thou and go out from there. The 115gn 6mm liked 120thou jump, the 105gn 6mm liked 100 thou and just starting work on the 22cal 77gn.

Thanks for the info. An amount of jump I might not have tried. Trying to work with a new rifle I had laid back & components too scarce to spend a lot of time trying to make something work that may not be cooperating.

There was a time when we'd use up a third of barrel life finding the best load. Now? I don't know about others, but I'm not yet ready to spend 75 cents to a dollar apiece for everyday 6 or 7mm bullets.

I've only shot 'em in .224",.243" and .264" and they sucked ass across that spectrum and in a goodly gaggle of both OEM and Custom spouts(all turnbolts). Hint.

Nuzzler's Imaginary Pretend BC's,never disappoint in their fhuqking HILARIOUS grandeur. If finding a load takes you more than (10) shots,you are an utter and COMPLETE Fhuqking Idiot. Hint.

Just sayin'.

Pass the Hornie's and hold the Fluff. Hint..............

Shtick, good to see you chime in. Thinking I'd read you didn't like them but you seem to like long range target bullets that kill well too. Maybe I misinterpreted, otherwise, mixed messages.

I too thought the BCs optimistic, & have to agree somewhat about fiddling with a bullet for too long is wasting time & powder. But then again, alternatives ain't layin in the street at this time. Some might have 10K of them, some don't. A run what ya brung thing & make the best of it.

Bullets matter wayyyyyyyyyy more than headstamps. Hint.

Schit Is Purty Fhuqking Easy RINK

I've not opened a mail parcel with boolits in it,since 10 minutes ago. Hint.

P.S. and by the way...they wasn't Nuzzlers. hint.

LAUGHING!....................
