[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 901042, member: 22069"] IMO, with an 8 twist Swede, anything less than the 140's is a waste of potential. Shoot Berger VLD's or Hornady AMAX's. The Bergers don't look like they will be available for a few months. The AMAX's may be available sooner than that. I recommend keeping an eye on them: [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/product/451885/hornady-a-max-bullets-264-caliber-65mm-264-diameter-140-grain-boat-tail-box-of-100?cm_vc=subv11076148926#pr-header-back-to-top-link]Hornady A-Max Bullets 264 Cal 6.5mm (264 Diameter) 140 Grain Boat Tail[/url] I have used both on paper to 600 yards. They both shoot very well. I have yet to shoot game with them, so I cannot comment on their terminal performance, though the AMAX is rumored to expand at lower velocity than the Bergers do. [/QUOTE]
