6.5x47L with Nosler ABLR

[MahtewsSB]

Has anyone used the new 142 gr nosler accubond long range in their 6.5x47? Or even the 129 gr ablr?
How was the performance? Loads? Speed?
is the BC actually that high or does it appear to be inflated?

I use the 129 lrab for hunting in the 6.5x47. They shoot about the same as the berger 130 vld in terms of bullet drop. I shoot the bergers for practice because they are a little cheaper and hit the same place. I like them. Have had good accurracy with varget. Have killed one deer with them and they worked fine.

were they relatively easy to work up a good load for?

have found 6.5x47 very easy to work up loads for. It is accurate. i don't compete so if the load shoots good i go with it. my load for 129 lrab is 38.2 gn. varget just off lands at approx. 2900 fps w 22" barrel. Im playing w imr 4451 now. have fun.

I am curious about this bullet also, I am gonna try and find a box and play around with Varget...

If that BC is correct.. wow

I have found the 129 shoots right along w the berger 130 (accuracy and drop) out to 600 yds.

My thoughts exactly. If the BC on the 142 is correct or at least very close to it, then that would be an awesome round.
