[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1486110, member: 29370"] I personally had a rifle built for 7mm 08 and was specific to shoot 162 bullets with a CBTO 10 thou off the lands and A COAL of 2.980 so they'd remain inside a 3.0 Wyatt internal mag box and a bartlein B3 25.5 inch braked barrel. Yes I'm aware I can't chase the lands when erosion starts. HOWEVER a plus is that certain 140 gr factory offerings produce .5 MOA groups at .150 off the lands and I've run some 168 VLDs at 56 thou and got .4 groups at just shy of 2800. So there's room for erosion or I just get another barrel when the 162s stop shooting. ps I'm also aware I got lucky betting on the 162's but it was my money to bet hahaha. This being a long range forum and giving hard data to the OP. I'll expound that I'm running the 162 ELD'M's behind 42.4 grs of Varget and get 2802 fps ave. with an ES of 4. That includes CCI 250 primers and Lapua brass. When I run 2802 fps through my ballistics software it has the energy / velocity according to bullet manufacturer spec to cleaning take game up to Elk size out to 800 yds. In addition because the velocity is relatively low it's capable of short range performance with the same bullet and since my 15 yr old daughter runs this gun recoil is mild. As a side note which really doesn't help the OP. The combined accuracy that this rifle / myself produced was a 1 5/8 inch group at 600 yards and I'll quietly share who built it and provide the load development and target groups I worked up in support. All that being said I'm not sure a 6.5 can produce similar killing power at comparable distances and velocities since it can't push a 162 grain bullet. I'd like to hear from the 6.5 guys on these ballistic points NOT looking for a debate but rather a factual comparison so the OP can consider them. [/QUOTE]
