    If it was to happen what weights would you want? I would be looking at a boattail design with low drag profile.
    I came to this thread to ask about 6.5. I would be all over this. Something a bit softer then a corelokt but kiwi made would be top notch

    anywhere from 129-140 weight would work. The 140grn will go through a tank anyway so a we bit lighter is fine.

    Now I can get a good steady supply of 140 AMAX at the same price I just paid for Targex 6mm projectiles, like Gimp, not really motivated to change. I think in 6.5 they would need to be much cheaper or have a much better BC for me to change.
    Agreed. The price shift has made them a little less attractive.

    Sorry about the price rises fellas but the simple truth is it's that or I don't make & supply bullets for sale. Other thing you have to remember is these are made using Berger J4 benchrest quality jackets & every bullet is handmade through the same set of dies not a bank of different dies.
    If I could supply them cheaper I would but I simply cant with the cost of the jackets, freight & export licenses etc..
    Just thought I would put this in to explain the costs, at the end of the day it all depends what level of accuracy a shooter wants or needs & often this level of accuracy just isn't needed for the average shooter but I'll keep supplying bullets for those who want it.
    I make more money out of tree felling & cabinet making than I ever will out of bullet making but I enjoy the bullet making & the results they give people.
    Cheers, Targex bullets.

    While far from a high volume user i will continue to use them in the wifes 243 unless they get Barnes silly pricing.
    They just shoot so well.
    If they are around the price of an amax and shoot better i won't change.
    Yet to try your 30cal.

    The bedding jobs on my Finn light, Featherweight and Kimber were excellent.
    And the 52 gr 224's work great in in the 22 250.Cheers.

    Definitely would go to the Targex first if I bought another 1:10" .243.
