Go to 6.5 bullet

[Highvoltage]

I've shot a lot of Hornady eldx and they shoot well for me, what is everyone's go to 6.5 bullet for tiny groups? I've kicked around the sierras and eldm I know they have a few different weights but have never ventured past the eldx. Targets or game doesn't matter. Pick 1 bullet you would try first no matter what 6.5 caliber you tried because it's a forgiving projectile to work a load up with. 1/8 twist

143eldx shot the best in mine but I never tried for match bullets.
I'd probably try a 136scenar for tiniest groups

No particular order. But I have shot all of these in various rifles with exceptional accuracy. Except the 156 Elite. Only shot those in my own 6.5SS so far.

Looks like a lot of good choices. A friend of mine played with a savage stealth for a long time and was never satisfied. He tried the 140 Berger in front of h4350 and it was 1 hole groups. Very impressed with his ease of finding a good load with that bullet. Out of curiosity has anyone played with the 130 Sierra gamechanger and if so what we're the results

Most shoot well in my Creedmoor but the Sierra 142 SMK has achieved the smallest group of all.
Second smallest group goes to the Berger 134 Classic Hunter.

 

[Creedmoor shooter]

140 eld-m for me. Havent tried any of the 140 bergers.
