6.5 156 EOL

[KurtB]

Just ordered up a box of these new Berger bullets. Very anxious to see what they will do for me out of a 6.5-06 type case. Once I get some time to shoot them, will post up results. If anyone gives them a shot in a 6.5-284, 6.5 creedmoor, or 6.5-06 keep us posted.

Have a new barrel ordered but will try in a burned up 6.5-06 barrel first. Thinking H1000 and RL26 should be about right.

I have 500 on order too. And a 6.5SS that should be ready this week I hope.

I'll be trying them in my SAUM and PRC also.

What twist is everyone using?

 

[cjl2010]

7 twist 6.5ss for me. My barrel is painfully slow to start though.

 

[codyadams]

.260 AI has an 8 .264 wm has a 7.5

 

[elkaholic]

6.5 sst is an 8 twist

AHA! Might be just the bullet for my new 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro.
It has a 24" barrel with a 1:7 twist that can easily handle that bullet weight.

Thanks for mentioning it.

I wonder when @elkaholic plans to roll out the .264 Maximum?

 

[Litehiker]

...Maximum?????? Is this bigger than a 264 Weatherby? (God forbid!)
