    Maybe a 155 grain 6.5 Berger?

    got this off the long range website. looks like berger may be coming out with a 155 for all the 6.5 guys. http://www.longrangehunting.com/thre...hunter.190703/

    Seen a few people test it. Looks promising but youll have to run a hell of a freebore which will severly limit you running lighter bullets if you ever wanted to. Load these in a 6.5 saum or 264 wm and hammer down!!

      If true these will be going in my .264 Win Mag with a stout load of Retumbo.

        What kind of twist will be able to stabilize that? 1:6?

            Is the bc improved. If not it's kinda pointless. No?

              The BC will be improved. Not pointless at all with the heavy weight and the larger 6.5 calibers. It will be a major improvement.

                I'd guess a 1:8 would be fine.

                  I would love it if they made a 120gr for the grendel.

                      I was reading a 1:7.5 is needed at 3000 fps to stabilize

                        Not sure why. The matrix 160gr calls for 1:8

                          The longer the bullet the faster the twist is needed to stabilize the bullet. Berger twist rate calculator is handy for knowing what is needed to stabilize your bullet. They have a list of their current bullets to select from or you can add in your own info.

                            With those options I will just stay with 120 NBTs

                              The berger 130gr offerings work quite well in the Grendel loaded with CFE223 or Leverevolution powder, as does the 129gr Nosler accubond longrange. That is actually a Grendel in my avatar photo. Accuracy wise it loves both the bullets pushed by CFE223 as does my AR
