Berger 6.5mm 156gr EOL Elite Hunter update. I contacted Berger about load data for the 6.55 CM and 6

Well.......... I'm not very good at figuring out ow to post properly but here we go:
"Black,
I talked with Corey and it appears that we do not have any load data for this bullet yet. While the bullet has been announced, it hasn't been manufactured yet. If we haven't made it, we cannot test fire it for load development. All of our drawings are theoretical until we actually manufacture, so I cannot even share ideas on load development.

Sorry buddy! Let me know if there is anything else we can help you out with.

-Ryan"

That's the short and sweet of it. Not even off the drawing board yet.

And they will not be till they get caught up with back orders.

If I remember correctly. A heavier .264 bullet from Berger has been on the drawing board for about 10 years now, maybe a little longer. Each year they announced on a newer version of a 150+ bullet in .264. I'm thinking they will get to production around year 2023.
