Only if you see that far with damaged eyes

2209 for 130s or 140s should be fine

tx, probably stick to straight copy first off

deadeyedicks for berger vld's ?

just looking at alternatives : SST 140gr and 2209 would work out a fair amount cheaper...

id use a leadtip for dougie as its abit more forgiving

Why dont you and ebf start again?
Have a go at developing your own load as Abe could and would, only spend so much time on it, to ensure the build will shoot.

I would try a 130gr projectile with any of N160, 560 ADI 2209 or RL-17, RL-15 in Lapua or Nosler .260 brass or whatever you have left and have fun getting it where you want. You know it can shoot. Just feed it the right tucker you have contructed and you will have heaps of fun using it.
I also highly rate the Hornady 129gr SP for anything under 500. sIt shoots and more importantly, kills well, in all the 6.5's I have used it in. If money is no object, I would use the scirocco.

Stay the hell away from an SST in the .260.

tx Dave, Dougie is running out of pills, so getting some loaded quickly is the priority, that's why I reckon straight copy first

The 129gr SP is pretty cheap for iirc around $50 per hundy?. I would still use them myself if there were no siroccos.

Na my G7 eyes have a more consistant curve especially way out

Dumb question

fair point bully, guess its just that you'd have to REALLY mess up with handloads to end up with something that shoots worse than factory... but hey, I'm sure it possible

there is also factory and FACTORY - Barnaul compared to Siera Matchking or Nosler Custom etc.

For a moment I thought you were loomking for recipes to knock over Horse's
