6.5 cal - 140 gr AB - WOW

[orchemo]

SPS had a bunch of seconds in these. Order a few bags and WOW. What a great looking bullet.

Load these into my Tikka 6.5 Swede and find a mulie or black bear.

Thanks for the heads up.
I've been shooting the 130s in my 264 but can't find any.
Running low and deer season isn't far off........

Eric,
The 140 gr BT should rock out of your Swede


Howard
Check with Scotty, he has a lights out load with the 140 gr BT in his 264 WM.

JD if the 140s shoot ANYTHING like the 130s do out of my rifle I'm good to go.
I'm just gonna be bringing a little more umph to the party.

I messed with the 130's for quite awhile in the 264 till I ran outta them and laid into a bunch of the 140 BT's. Well, I found a great load with them at around 3180. On a hope and hunch, I ran the exact same load with a 140 AB. Didn't change the seating die a bit, and luckily, it shoots just as well. RL25 really worked excellent for both of them, same ingredients and amounts all the way through.

The 140 AB's do run about 20 FPS faster, but out to 600 which is as far as I've tested, they shoot the same.

I shot these a couple weeks back at 200 yards while verifying if the load was still "good". Didn't really do anything special than line it up and squeeze em out.. Pretty happy with it.





At 100, it'll stack em pretty decently

Those groups would put a grin on the chin of anyone, Scotty.

Nice groups Scotty, I would be very happy with any of those.

Looks Good Scotty.
I'm gonna try the same deal.
Not change anything but the bullet and see what happens.
