Not the 150 LRAB but I m shooting a 147 Eldm in my 6.5-300 with 89 grs of US869. 3250 FPS. Start 3-4 grs less and work up. That bonded bullet should be great in the 6.5-300. Post your results if you would.

I do the torch Mapp gas method also. I dim the lights so I can better watch the color on the case neck. When I start seeing the end of the neck turning a hue of red I stop. Usually takes a count of 3-5 ( roughly seconds) depending on size of brass, caliber and brand. I ve found 3-4 seconds is...

I ve had to make my brass out of 300 Weatherby stuff so can t really comment on rim thickness difference. But I would venture a guess that .010 difference between the thickness of 300 vs 6.5-300 brass sounds ‘wrong’ … maybe a bad batch of brass. Might hear from Scotty or Fotis shortly. If yours...

If you try R33 and do velocity and accuracy testing please share. I ve got some R33 but haven’t tried it…. Questioned if there was any room for improvement. Not sure I can shoot well enough to see!

For what it’s worth my 26” Rem 700 257 WB shot R26 sub moa. BUT, I was using 3.40” oal with both the 110 AB and 115 BT. I had shot R22 previously and had found the long oal was where my rifle liked it. (Seated as long as I was comfortable with to insure adequate neck tension. Dr Mike’s QL...

Scotty, PM sent.. hopefully you got it. Thx

No problem Fotis. If you have actual 6.5-300 headstamped brass would you mind measuring the neck on one of those loaded rounds. Will accomplish same thing as I want to compare to the formed 300 WB brass to see if difference requires neck turning. Would greatly appreciate it!

Slimfinn, trying to step all the way from .308 diameter to .264 diameter in one pass is a little much regardless of your press. If you have access to a 300 Weatherby bushing die use a bushing that’s .284 plus about .030 for neck thickness, so around .314 ish and lube up and run through that...

I know both of you guys load/shoot the 6.5-300 Bee… would one of you mind measuring a factory or a hand loaded neck with a bullet seated so I can use that dimension in building/sizing some brass from 300 Bee cases. I know Saami shows .295 as maximum but wondering what an actual measurement is...

As Shadetree said, 56-56.5 grs of 4350 …. If the gun won’t shoot that you ve got problems. It s been known as a load that is accurate in any 30-06 that’s a capable gun accuracy wise. Try a couple difference 180 s with that charge weight and let the rifle tell you what it likes!

+1 for 25 cal ABLR. If they make it where a 10 twist can stabilize it should sell well. Ideally would have another in higher BC that would work in 8 twist. That market is coming; Berger has 135 Hybrid, Sierra makes 131 gr for Blackjack. Come on Nosler!

Scotty, my thoughts too. 2800-2850 out of the Swede would make a pretty potent big game round. Hopefully they ll group. Let us know if you get them running under some R26; my Fieldcraft might be ‘listening’ ! :-)

Another comparison shows 150 Sierra MK as 1.490” in length and a G1 of .713 until 1750 FPS ish at which point it drops to approx .680-.690. Let’s hope Nosler is being conservative on this bullets BC!

Fotis, I wondered the exact same thing when I got the email. Length is advertised as 1.495” which is about .055” longer than 147 ELDM is so the .630 ish G1 surprised me a little. Hornady advertises .697 G1 and it’s checked out for me when I ve used that and calc d my drops to 875 yds on our...

Bob, pls do share your accuracy results once know. Also, should you shoot any into newspaper or water jugs please do share that also!! Thx

Looked under bullet tests but didn’t find any tests/comparisons of the 110 gr 25 cal Gamechangers vs 110 AB and 115 BT. Specifically I ve always shot the Noslers in my 26” barreled 257 Weatherby both running at 3400 FPS +/- and curious if anyone has done any work with the GC as a comparison in...

72 grs of R22 with 200 gr AB gave me 2900 FPS and cleanly dispatched my once in a lifetime ID bull moose. 24” barrel and plenty of recoil. 3.510 oal; work up it’s a stout load!

Little late posting but over the years (40!) 78 grs R22 has been real accurate for me in multiple 300 WM s. It ran 3175 FPS or so out of a 24” barrel. Many shy from R22 due to temp sensitivity but in my hunting rifles always did well. Also shot 74 grs of Imr4831 which was a tad slower but still...
