6.5mm 121 gr. Lehigh match solid

[InkedIan]

So I bought some of these out of curiosity. I just guessimated around my 130gr Hybrid load and started with touching the lands. Warning* Don't assume that these loads are safe for your rifle.
Pressure test:


45grs at around 3100fps showed a lot of promise but I didn't get any pressure signs from any of the loads. So I came back out the next day with just 5 shots of 46.5grs and got this result:


I was pretty damn happy with that but wondered if it was a fluke. So I loaded up 3 more rounds of the same and came out the next day and shot this:

Needless to say they seem to be very accurate. Especially when you notice that during the pressure test that the POI of 44.5-46grs would make around 1" group. I'm impressed so far.

What's your barrel length?
Velocities are impressive for sure.

At what distance were the loads shot?

 

[InkedIan]

The barrel length is 26" and they were shot at 100 yds. I'll shoot them at a longer distance when I get a chance.

Glad someone got some experience with these. I talked with them at length this last spring and haven’t got around to getting any to try. They told me to start with 140 load and go from there.

I'd like to see how they grouped at distance

I wonder if they would deform on hogs at that speed...

They make a hunting bullet too

Shot them at 726yds today. 3 shots with a 6.5 creedmoor case for comparison.
