[QUOTE="CliffM, post: 786587, member: 11533"] Rich, Rhian gives me the dope from his program, I don't know if that is already calculated in or not but I have not even thought about that. I'll watch that now and see if it doesn't improve things, especially first round hits. Swamplord, What we have are the first couple boxes made to test. After watching the performance of the 270/165gr bullet I asked Marshall to make something comparable in a 6.5. I had no idea that he could get 160 grains in that shape of bullet.I hope that there will be enough interest in them for to become a regular item. I don't know what they will be like in a smaller capacity case that would produce velocities in the 2600- 2800fps range, but so far in my rifle they seem to like to be driven fast:) With a sectional density of .328 that equals the 170gr-270, 180-.284, 211-.308 Perfect LR elk bullet for me!
