[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1710726, member: 27307"] The barrels necessary to make this bullet perform are available on the Blackjack website: [URL]https://blackjackbullets.com/?v=7516fd43adaa[/URL] Using a reamer of my own design along with some help from the reamer maker;), I can manage somewhere in the neighborhood (+/-) of 3,300 fps at the upper node on the curve. This can be achieved with two powders or 3,250 fps. with four powders, again at the upper node. Either way, it works when I want to ring some steel at 1,000 yards or take it hunting. Oh, it's a 26" barrel. The 6.5 on the .257 Weatherby case is one of the most popular cartridges I get requests for. I have probably 4 different variations of reamers with a fifth design on the way. It's easy to tune and makes a great hunting cartridge. I pretty much stick with the 130 class bullets since I can stay under the 140s performance-wise. [/QUOTE]
