6.5 bullet(s) for 1 mile

[6.5 forever]

I've not had the 150s blow up in my 6.5x55GWI. Only shot 300 or so through it though. I'll pay attention. They have been extremely accurate out to a mile.

Something tells me you will never have a problem. Never heard of any problems except this thread.

I was shooting at match this weekend, (not with the GWI)
I was spotting for the guy next to me and watched a few of his bullets turn to dust.
I think he was shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor.
I should have asked what bullet he was shooting.

That would be interesting to know.

Must have been my lyin eyes... Hopefully newer lots are better.

Like I said....this thread is the only time I've heard of this. I doubt it is a wide spread problem. I'm not calling anyone a liar...

I shot 147 till they started blowing up. I switched to 144 Bergers. But they were not handling 1 mile very well. A buddy got me to try 142 Sierras. They out shot the Bergers. I have stayed with the Sierra for several years now.

Same issue with the 147 and 180 eldm’s.

Never an issue with either over thousands of rounds of ELDs.

Neither did I till I had to get more bullets and new lots started creating dust clouds.

I blew up some Berger 300’s earlier this year but almost 3K in a 7.5 twist is not realistic for big cup/core bullets, made an impressive cloud though!
