Thanks fellas. I zeroed the mentioned load at 200 yesterday, but didn't have time to play with the BT. I used their calculator to arrange the turret, just haven't checked it yet. let me know how the turrets work. i have a 6.5-06 coming next week that will wear that same scope. It works just fine. 350yds on Sat eve: ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/Reloader01/350yddoewith65-06.jpg)

Can the 130's get to 3200? In a 26 or 27" tube yes. But, I sure wouldn't go there with a 23 or 24 or 22... But, someone will surely do so and say look at me I can do it...arg 3100's a good number for it, and if one can't get it done via 31 well then, you get my drift...grin Dober

I've found a 140 berger cruising along at 2870 fps to be light recoiling and far reaching in a 7 pound rig. Pretty much rendered everything else I used to second fiddle. No need to hot rod.

Glad I found this thread. I'm drooling over a 6.5-06 built on a Sako A7 donor! I absolutly love them long assed 140's in the 6.5. 130-140vlds sure would be alot of fun to mess [bleep] up with. As a huge .260 fan I'm leaning more and more towards the 6.5-06. This would definately leave me with no reason to own another .270!! =)
