Berger 6.5mm 156 gr. bullets. . .where are they???

I'd think a 8.5 twist in 264 WM is sufficient for 147 eldm. According to jbm stability calculation. More twist builds unnecessary pressure. Slowing the fps of bullet. Eventually I'm getting a new barrel for one of my .264 wm maybe a gain twist ? 26-27" 3240 fps 147 sounds terrific.

This is with Retumbo, Winchester brass and HBN coated 147's.

Any chance of these 156 stabilizing in an 8 twist?

I just checked the Berger site; they don't even list 156 grain bullets for the 6.5. The heaviest they go is the 140 grain.

Right, that's what we have been waiting 2 years for!

Wait and see what happens after the shot show. They are still trying to fill back orders.

check out Matrix new website 6.5 in 156 and 162 are being tested. I will be sending email after holidays to check availability

EPS bullets has a 146 with extremely high BC. Not sure how it would perform on game

Anyone hear any updates on production of these?? Shot has been over for awhile, figured someone might have heard something.

They are being tested. The 245 is being tested to. Will see what happens.

In other words 6-8 months out

I have all but given up on them. I have a new 6.5SS build in the works, but I think I will be going the 160 Matrix route.

B C is down but a good bullet nonetheless
