Too cold and snowy here is Wisconsin to drag the chronograph out! Nosler manual shows a little over 2900 FPS. Oldtrader, I used to shoot 130 Silver tips years ago! they were a good bullet!
A gun shop near me still has a pile of them in bulk, $25.00 a hundred. I might try them out!
Great group!
Thanks for the comments, The Nosler manual shows a little over 2900 fps! I would like a little more speed, but accuracy is more important to me! The last deer I shot with a factory load was a mule deer in Wyoming over 20 years ago! a 6.5X55 Federal 140 grain Partition at 389 yards, I later...
Working on some loads for my new Weatherby Vanguard Stainless in 270 WIN. Ballistic Tips have always been my "go to" bullet for accuracy! 55 grains H4831sc, CCI BR 2 primers. this load is not real speedy, but it's a good starting point! .287 3 shot at 100 yards
I had a Ruger 77 Mark ll, had a Timney trigger, a HS stock and a 26" shaw barrel Med Heavy in 6.5-06. that rifle would put 5 shots in to one hole at 100 yards! shaw installed it. if you have a friend with an FFL they will discount the barrel but not the smithing! I still think that is the case...
