Thread: 6.5mm 160gr maxtrix

Anyone tried these in any of the 6.5 chamberings?

.264 Caliber Bullets Custom Built for Accuracy | Matrix Ballistics

Quite possibly give the 7mm's a run for the money and the .680 bc sounds good

if you order some i would be keen to get some at same time. they would be a good bomb in the 06 and the win mag

the 129 or 142 at a bc .55 and .62 respectively would be pretty damn attractive for the lighter 6.5 offerings also. WOnder if the VLD's are hunting or match designed

Similar construction to a berger I get the impression, guys in the states are running them in win mags , short mags etc for use on elk

I have tried the Matrix, 125gr .25cal, and have a couple hundred 165g in .277, to load the .270 wsm.

Have been looking at the 142 gr 6.5 cal for the 264 win mag, but am trying the 130gr swifts first.

Been looking at the 270gr 9.3 cal. for the 9.3x62 as well. Cant find my first choice, 250 gr accubonds anywhere.

The 125g, 25 cal were bonded and work very well on red deer, sika. 3 deer shot only, no bullets recovered. Marshall, sent me 100 bonded for free, when he only had 90 on hand of the 125gr non bonded I had ordered.


I will be back in NZ in 6 weeks, from Canada, if anyone is real keen to try sum, let me know.

Marshall is great to deal with, and with current shortages in North America, is doing a great business.

@southernman i would be keen on some 142 and 160 6.5

Ok mucko, on order, A hundred of each,
I send you a pm at sum point.
What are you going to push them with, I have a .264 win mag, and a .260.

YEAH I ALSO HAVE 264 WIN MAG AND 6.5/06

Marshal is also making the 150 gr VLD in 6.5mm, excellent bullet and works good on Elk with the 6.5-284 and 26 Nosler from what I hear, I have a couple boxes but haven't loaded any up yet, The 160 gr VLD's were very accurate at 3500 fps,

That was my thoughts.
