COMPARING THE HOTROD SST's 6, 25, 6.5

[MudRunner2005]

The 150 SMK would have been a better bullet to compare with the other two, since the 150 is the heavy for cal for the 6.5.

What's the proven (tested) BC of the 150 SMK?

Hmm... 37 feet per second at 1000 yards constitutes a "whoopin", but 308 and 30-06 are ballistic equals. Fun little double standard ya got there

How is the 6.5 only 37 FPS different? Also, the .308/30-06 is different comparison...Same bullet, different case.

I don't think it has a G-7 of .575 B.C.,
G-1 is probably what you mean.

Just corrected it, thanks. Thats what happens when I try to do too many things at once. lol

In a 7tw 6.5/06ai t 3170 they are shooting .1-.2mil high out to 1150yds for me. It's a new gun and still shooting faster every trip to the range. This is using the .713. Once the barrel settles in and I can put some time in it should be in the .720's at this velocity. This is also at only 400ish feet above sea level. The 147's are a bit slower at 3110 are also shooting a bit higher but not a consistent .1.
Obviously this could be break in or a not so solid zero. Come October when I get back into shooting mode i will have time to get solid info. However for the most part they are a bit conservative above 2750fps

That's smoking fast for that case. What's barrel length?
