Thread: Nosler 26, 28, 30, who's got one?

Hi the berger 135 gr is the best ballistic compromise being G1 .584 and G7 .303 you can shoot these fast..while the 143 hornady eld-x has better BC you cannot drive them as fast having said that i do have 20 of them to try out !!

Bc always wins at LR. What about the 147 eldm or the 150 Sierra

Hi you cannot better the 135 gr bergers ive done charts for them all... the heavier you go the less velocity so the very slightly higher BC is negated..as i said tho i do have 20 143ge ELD-X to try !!

Looking at building a smaller 6.5 something now. I reckon those berger 135s would be the ducks guts in it.

No experience with them but if they kill as well as the 130 VLD hunting in my Ackley, I will be happy.

I have a smaller "6.5 Something". 26gns of 8208XBR gives 2507fps with a 130gn TMK. good on gongs out to at least 600m. brass is cheap and 1lb powder lasts awhile

Sounds pretty sweet but I need a bit more grunt but don't want an extreme barrel burner like a 26 or 27.

I have been tinkering with the idea of a 6.5 PRC. 3100ish with that 135 berger would be a good all rounder in a light guide rifle I reckon.

Browning is due to bring the xbolt out in 6.5prc, must say it has piqued my interest for a plug and play open country gun

I thought it was out but not here in NZ yet.
Might be a sensible option for me if they show up here.

If i like the cal I might rebarrel my Ackley to one when/if it gets tired.

Yeah it's on order here but still a couple of months away from what I've heard. If Cindy ever pays me for my ar I'll probably pick one up

I think I'm in line for one as well. Although I'm waiting for the Sauer's to arrive........

Those 135gn classics are vicious killers!
