Dang, the 140gr 6.5 Bergers are long!

Got my 140gr 6.5 Bergers in this afternoon and loaded up 30 rounds to start in the 6.5 WSM.

.612 BC at what I hope will be 3250fps. That's almost not even fair!

Had to seat them .010 off the lands to fit in the mag well (even with a Wyatt's box). Hope I get to shoot them this weekend!

I thought my 130 gr 6.5 Scirroccos were long until I compared them to the 140 Bergers. Big difference.

I got the 140 grain 6.5 Bergers for my 264 Win Mag. Hopefully I will be able to use them.

I'm loading the 190s in my heavy 300WM they are running 3180 at the muzzle. I'm going to load the 168s in the 300WM lighter hunting rifle that I'm in the process of building right now. I think they should be around 3300 at the muzzle. I can't weight to put one thru the shoulder of a deer.

I don't even know what a 'close' shot is with a 200 gr 30 cal bullet at 3300 fps MV is... closest I've ever shot with that combo is 350 yards :). But 350 out to 650, everything has been a bang-flop 1 shot kill.
