Thread: 6.5 options??

Have a 260 and 6.5x55 both. Both kill well.

If your only getting those speeds I wouldn't bother. Better to stick with the 260 or 6.5X55, I've had both doing 120's at a very comfortable 3000. 80mm you would almost fit a 6.5/06 into that.

6.5-06 baldbob has one so i cant/wont copy

what can you get the 140gr doing? i wouldnt mind running the 123gr a-max fast

Haven't tried the 140's get. Only got them for the /06 and still haven't got around to shooting that yet. All I ever run through the 260 is 120's, although there is a packet of 130's for stags sitting there that I might even get around to loading one year.

I doubt I'll ever get 3000 out of the Kimber again as she's went on a diet and lost some weight off the barrel....

Tis a damn fine bullet that 120BT. My mainstay for the 260 or any 6.5X55
