Cool looks like they added around 0.018" to the Elite Hunter in the middle and pointed it. Wow over an hour and no comments? Everyone must be eating supper (dinner).

Well, you were going to hear from us tomorrow morning, 'cause that's when we were instructed to announce them! We have plenty coming, so order whenever you'd like. Our price is $205/500; ship 1 box for $10, 2 or 3 for $20!

$0.43 a bullet. Not bad.

Really should have seen this coming after they released the 6mm.

Man, I’m 1800 rounds into my 6.5 CM. I’m thinking it’s not fair to test this bullet now being the barrel is getting long. I’ll rebarrel soon, and give it a try.

Perfect time to get your self a 6.5x47

Definitely a consideration. Gun is for 1000 yard prone NRA matches. The 6.5 L would work fine for that I’m sure

 

[STOMP442]

Sweet! I got a Shillen #5 barrel in the safe and a Winchester 70 action laying around and just got a 6.5x55 Ackley reamer in the mail. Guess I know what I'm doing here soon.

Recommended twist rate at the low 2900's?

Do you have an expected delivery date yet?

 

[Fast14riot]

Might try these in my 260AI after I finish off this barrel and the 500 VLDT I just got.

The 7mm and 30cals are next

We were told they have them ready but are just waiting on the labels for the boxes!
We'll keep you posted on here.
109 6MMs were supposed to be here by now also!
We'll keep you all apprised on them also!

I checked the Berger website to use their twist rate computer and the 144’s haven’t been added to the library.

I’m betting an 8 twist will be fine. Bearing surface of the 144 Hybrid is .469 compared to the 140 VLD at .435

Cant you manually enter bullet weight and bc?

Using the Miller Rules spreadsheet (Berger uses this software with a few bells & whistles added to calculate BC degradation below 1.5 Sg), it says 1 in 8 is excellent unless you work on Thule airbase and shoot mid-winter. In standard conditions (59F and 0 ft ASL in standard air pressure) 2,800 fps MV produces 1.61 Sg using the quoted 1.413" bullet OAL Berger quotes. 1.5 or modest amounts greater is optimal.
