WANTED 6.5mm 140gr projectiles

[UrsusMagnus]

Howdy folks,

I recently acquired a 6.5x55 hunting rifle and I'm looking to load up a bunch of rounds for it and see what it can do; I figured I'd start with the 140gr pills. If any are available for sale from my fellow shooters, please let me know. Doesn't have to be anything fancy at the moment. Thank you!

I would like to see some pictures of that Steyr (one of my favorite rifles)

They are out there. When it arrived at my FFL I disassembled the bolt and it was coated in what looked like hardened cosmoline. Sticky. I still have to separate the action from the stock to get it all out, it's gumming up the trigger. But she's a beauty alright. A few handling marks on the stock but the action is very clean. Carbine-length barrel, very light, 6# and change I'd venture...happy camper over here

Good looking out, 25ring but they don't ship to New York State

Just for a little more info these are factory pointed Sierra SMK's with a slightly higher BC.

Thanks, Sierra makes great stuff. I'll ring them on Monday, maybe I can get them to ship to me that way
