Sold!

I’m selling my Leica Ultravid HD 10x42’s. I purchased them brand new from Euro Optic about 3 years ago. The glass is completely flawless with no scratches or dings of any kind and the binoculars are in excellent condition. I recently purchased Geovids so I won’t use these anymore. Price is...

Geez thanks for resurrecting this ancient thread! I’m thinking about building a 243 AI in the next couple of months. I like the idea of using it for coyotes and deer if I decide to. Looking forward to sending the 105’s down range at 3250 FPS also :)

My knee jerk reaction is why do we need another 6.5? This isn’t doing much more than what I get out of my PRC? But I like the potential here. I’ll sit on the sidelines for a while and see what the results are and if someone else starts making good affordable brass maybe I’ll build one. Love my...

I’ve been using RL-33 and getting more velocity than what berger quoted to me and seeing pressure at about 81 grains. Magneto reads 3175 ish with 80.5 grains seated .010 off lands. Rifle is a Rem 700 Rem with 26” Proof CF barrel. This load is shooting very good under an inch. I have some IMR...

Man, that’s a lot of velocity you’re trying to squeeze out of a 260?

I just did a ladder on my 26 Nosler with RL-33 and very happy with the results. Easily made it to 3,200 FPS but started getting a bit of pressure near the max tested loads. I seated them .020 off the riflings. My velocities were almost 200 FPS faster than what I was quoted in Berger's testing.

Slow burners. RE-33, 50, Retumbo, N-570

I just got some load data from Berger. Looks like 3,200 FPS is there with a 26 nosler, 26" barrel. of course, it's n-570 that's the best velo and almost impossible to find

Luckily they are recommending a 1:8 twist. Was a little worried they would need faster

And we have potential liftoff....Berger says these are ready and will be shipped August 1 https://bergerbullets.com/product/6-5-mm-156-grain-eol-elite-hunter/ .679 kind of a disappointment but still looking forward to seeing how they do out of my 26 Nosler.

I’m just a huge fan of Berger. For the impressive work I’ve seen on big muleys and also elk, but also have shot great off the bench for me. I have a lot of confidence in their stuff just based on my personal experiences using them. Am extremely frustrated to say the least at this multiple year...

Meanwhile my 26 Nosler sits in the safe, waiting for redemption with the 156’s

I just built a custom 220 Swift AI off a Stiller Predator action with a 28" heavy varmint Bartlein and man this thing shoots everything I've tried for it. After researching the Swift and experiencing it for myself, it's just a very accurate caliber. I love it and looking forward to get it out...

The BC on these is .68. I can't wait to see what they do in my new 26 Nosler!
