Thread: Nosler 6.5 142 gr long range accubond

Has anyone got there hands on any of the new Nosler 6.5 142 grain long range accubond projectiles yet #58922. Can't find anyone with them in NZ so far. Listed G1 BC 0.719 ( standard 140 accubond listed BC 0.509 ).
I contacted Nosler when the 129 6.5 long range came out and complained that it should have been a 140 with better BC than the 129 BC 0.561.
Want to use the 142 in my K95 6.5x65 R single shot ( very similar ballistics to 264 mag or 6.5-06 improved ) .

.719? for real?

yep

I know a couple guys up here, that,have been on order for them, for over six months (Canada).

Steves Wholesale thinks another 3 months for NZ but no guarantees.
Just thought someone might have got some in direct.
Have been using the Lapua Scenar 139s for years in my two 6.5s and they're great on deer and chamois. But don't trust them on tahr although I have shot bulls with them at close to moderate range.
These new 6.5 LR accubonds would cover the lot.
Have tried the Swift Sciroccos and neither my 6.5x284 or 6.5x65R likes them at all.
