I thought I would get a thread going which would focus on the new 156 Berger. If you have a 6.5 SS or SST, post your results.
I got out today to test them for the first time and also the first time using N565. I mostly just shot to establish max and try a couple seating depts but am impressed so far with velocity and potential accuracy. I'll have to make another trip to establish max because I hadn't reached any pressure signs yet at 3035' behind 60 grains and that was the top load I had. I'm really liking the way this bullet sits in the case with a coal of around 2.920". Looks like it will be a sweet combo. The top 3 charges at 58, 59, and 60 went into 3/8". Ill try to run a ladder test when I get more time.
