[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2834918, member: 27307"] While I agree that $109.99/box (20) is a little over the top when it comes to testing, there are other sources which carry this ammunition in both bullets for less money: [URL]https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/ammo+%26+storage/caliber/10001941-6.5-300+weatherby[/URL] [URL]https://vizardsgunsandammo.com/ammunition/rifle-ammo/6-5-300-weatherby-magnum-ammo/[/URL] I did find one extremely affordable $75/box for these two bullets but shipping took it right back up to the $100/box mark.:mad: We were testing the 156 Bergers a few of years ago. Hunting with the .264 Win. Mag., 6.5x284 and the 6.5 SAUM we witnessed poor performance from 3-600 yards when loading the 156 Berger. The Sciroccos performed much better, book-like mushrooms and there were some pass through with weight retention near 90% when recovered. My favorites to date though in the 6.5-300 is the Hornady 153 A-Tip and the Badlands 135 Super BD2. [/QUOTE]
