[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2677781, member: 111161"] Awesome thread. Definitely has me considering the 125 BD2 for my 21" barreled 7.5 twist 6.5x55 Improved. It is shooting 156 Bergers at 2820 with RL 26, but if I could get these to 3100 or so, they would win in every metric save energy. I'm thinking I might like the extra velocity in this shorter barreled gun. I am at Sea level so I think the 135s are out with my twist. Could Someone measure the Base to ogive of the 125 6.5mm bullet? Preferably with a Hornady comparator. Also what is the length of the boattail? This gun is thoated for the 156s so just trying to figure out if I'll have enough shank in the neck with these 125's seated close to the lands. On a Tikka LA so mag length is not a concern. Thanks [/QUOTE]
