I live at the West side of Norway in Europe. 😏

My longest shot at a red stag with 6,5mm is aprox 600 meters. That time i used 142gr ablr. The bullet stopped under the skin at the opposite side. v0 was 915 m/s with a 6,5x55 swede. I think i shot maybe 40-50 red deer/stag at over 400 meters with 6,5 swede, with bullets like 142 ablr, 143...

they are available AS a component, both in 6,5 and .30

I have shot About 20 animalsk this year with norma bondstrike 143gr, out of a 6,5-284. 885m/s. Distances from 30meters to 510meters. good effect, and IT holds together. G1 BC is About 0.58.

Vv: N560, N565 and n570 Hodgdon: H 1000 and Retumbo Norma: N15 / MRP / mrp2. These powders are all good choices.

I don`t know how good you are at shooting, but its typically shooter error when you allways get a flyer, especially when its vertical. I think you have inconsistant recoil uptake. ES doesn`t mean much at 100 meters. We got a really bad batch with match ammo for competition shooting. The ES...

Up here in Norway / scandinavia we do have a minimum bullet weigth of 9grams / 139grain for our largest animals. Red deer, caribou, wildboar, bear and moose. The bullets of 9 gram also need to have a energy at 100 meters of 2700 J. This means a 9 gram bullet with .35 G1 needs about 850 m/s...

Difference in recoil uptake.

The best hunting bullets in 6,5mm is: For normal range 0-200 meters, and game up to moose size: Lapua 155gr Mega, Norma 156gr Oryx, Rhino 140 and 150gr, North Fork 140gr, swift a-frame 140gr. Barnes 130gr TSX. These bullets have exeptionally good terminal performance, especially the 10,1 gram...

Is the BC og Federal Edge TLR bullets true, or inflated?

Well Litz BC data is Doppler radar verified, and should be correct. I dont think he is inflating the BC for other bullet manufactures, that seems strange. According to Litz 130gr AB is 0,44 G1, 140 AB is at .462 G1. Nosler is known for inflating BC. BC is important for me, thats why i have...

Hello I have used 147 eld-m a few years now, and have now decided i want a tougher bullet to use in my 6,5-284. Looking at Interbond, Hornady lists it at .485 G1. In my applied ballistics app litz has found BC to be at .518G1, and .265 G7 Which is correct?

Well, my answer to the question is: The distance you can hit a 10" target every f.. time. Divide this distance in half and you have a safe distance to shoot at animals. If the question was about the pure performance of the cartridge, its about how much mv, which bullet and so on. I use 6,5 on...

Yes i am also going to buy a borescope. I think its good learning to use a borescope while shooting and cleaning.

Well now i have got some new expirience. I used to clean this rifle like all my others, including my comp rifles in 6,5 swede, which i shoot 4-5000 shots with a year. Well it seems it hasn`t been good enough. It has now gotten what i call a judgementdaycleaning. About 5 days soaked with...
