[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 72672, member: 10"] D-a, I don't think Richard makes a 159?? He has a 156 gr in the 257 that I have pushed to 3350 fps pretty comfortably. With a B.C. of +.8 they shoot pretty well out to 1000 yards [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]! In the 6.5mm, I am just getting started doing the extensive range testing as we have been waiting on test barrels and bullets as well. Richard is going to build a 169.5 gr ULD RBBT for the 6.5mm so we will see how it performs. This is only a prototype as of yet so we will see if ti will actually fly. BC should be significantly higher then the 156 gr 257 ULD. We are predicting 3200 fps with the 169.5 in the 6.5mm Allen Mag. May not quite reach that level but to be honest, with the BC that bullet will have, anything over 3000 fps will blow the doors off most anything else ballistically speaking anyway. Should be building the test rifle for that round here in the next couple weeks. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
