I have never shot Matrix bullets so I did not cast a vote. However, from my limited experience with them, I have no confidence in the Bergers as an effective long range hunting bullet; so I am on the hunt for another hunting bullet that has the matchlike accuracy of the Berger.Like the title says...

Check out matrixballistics.com, they've got excellent 6.5mm and .277 offerings and will even offer to bond them if you likeI have never shot Matrix bullets so I did not cast a vote.

Max at 3100 so 3000 would be reasonable. Core bonding is a process that bonds the lead to the jacket which maitains bullet integrity during expansion. Usually an acid process.Took a look at them. A 160 grain .264, I like it. What do you think the 6.5ss would push that at with a mild load Rich? Also, what's core bonding?
I also shoot a 300 WM and am getting ready to test some 212 ELD-X's. Was curious how you seat the bullet with those. Touching the lands? Jumped?Bergers just because I've also never shot Matrix. I have shot the 210 VLD in my 300 WM with great results (it also like the 200 and 212 ELD-X).
All three shoot really well (.3-.5 MOA) at .02" off the lands. I'll admit that I haven't done much experimenting with the seating depth on that rifle, for my purposes, as long as I hit .5 MOA or less I'm fine with it.I also shoot a 300 WM and am getting ready to test some 212 ELD-X's.

That's not too bad. ThanksAll three shoot really well (.3-.5 MOA) at .02" off the lands. I'll admit that I haven't done much experimenting with the seating depth on that rifle, for my purposes, as long as I hit .5 MOA or less I'm fine with it.
The 150/160gr was never listed on their site as far as I know. It was a special request I think. Worked awesome!They don't make a 160gr anymore? All I see is 152 Gr.
