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

this is what a new reloader with a new rifle could do, instead of pulling her hair out changing hand load measurments etc, when all along the scope mounts were loose.

Thanks for that explanation Bully, i now understand what you are saying.

August, anything like last year and it will be a lot of fun.

Deadeye dicks are a good source for well priced reloading components. Its close to wellington so it may work out cheaper to get them to courier down the bits. Just buy the powder locally.

If i remember, 6.5 vld hunting projectiles were cheapest from deadeyes even with freight, about 80 bucks, compared to ~100$+ from local shops. That was about 6 months ago.

Id like to see what a 120 or 130 ttsx would go like in the 6.5/260

Thanks guys! I might have to get ebf to hold my hand when I go into the shop, but I assure you that some loads are not far away

Take a list, so you know exactly what to get! Try and ask for a deal on it if you are getting a bit of stuff

why go away from the load you have now? - its accurate and will kill anything you shoot with it
why change the powder? - its the same price as adi from the right people
why buy more cases? you were supplied with lapua .260? you cant get better brass?

Smiddy, you want to pm me the "right people" to get vv powder from for the same price as adi ?

Go kill shit.

sent some of the original rounds over the forum chrony yesterday afternoon. altitude +/-200m, warmish around 25 C

abe got 2780

we got average of 2663.4 for a 5 shot string

what are some of the factors that could cause a 100ft/s drop ?

Cronies are stupid bloody things.....

Even the 35P has small variations (10-20 fps), day to day, varying light conditions etc.
