Thread: 6.5CM bullet performance

@zeropak just an update on this. I haven't managed to run the 135Gr Bergers just yet - hopefully next weekend in fallow territory.
However, this weekend I ran some 142gr ABLR doing 2760fps on some reds. Took two hinds, one at 263meters, the other about 270meters. Shot both through the shoulder and they both dropped dead within 3-4 seconds. They left a tennis ball sized hole for an exit wound in the off shoulder and tuned the inside to jelly meat. Keen to see how the Bergers compare, but thought you may be interested in these projectiles too. Obviously not going quite as fast as I'd like, but for a 0.4moa 3 shot group for the first ever load with them, I'm pretty happy!

Yeah looks like an interesting choice. Nosler say this bullet will expand reliably down to 1350fps which is exceptional for a bonded bullet, or any bullet. The price of them is pretty up there but I guess you get what you pay for. 2762fps is not bad for a 142gn projectile. i might have to give them a try thanks for the info.

142 ABLR work really well I've shot a couple of reds with them and they shoot really well the 129 ABLR would also be good in the Creedmoor
