I know it's a Predator, probably can't magazine feed them as they usually load long. 6.5 mm

My non-fat fingered response was .284 but now I'll go .264 even though it looks bigger...

6.5 is right, weight is off... make is Dynamic Research Predator Solids...

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
It looks closest to the .308 176gr as Ultraman mentioned above, although not identical.
This is the 2nd time I'm aware that you've referred to the Predators as you also mentioned a while back using some of the Predator projectiles at the ELR course. So the more important question is are you the <span style="font-style: italic">scoundrel</span> that bought up all the Predator Projectiles?
Stephen currently seems to be out of stock in every caliber. If you're sitting on a passel of the 176s, how about doing me a solid (get it, solid?
) and sell me a thousand so I can use them in my new GAP I pick up from jail tomorrow...the one I had <span style="font-style: italic">specifically designed</span> to shoot the .308 176 gr projectile...which I can't seem to get now...I'd put an LOL here but it's not all that funny. Oh well, Berger's 185 Hybrids are only a hair behind in BC and are probably a little more forgiving to load.
Edited to add: Whew! They're still available, order direct. Sorry for casting aspersions LL, I really just wanted to be able to say do me a solid

You're killing me, lmao. 129? It's a nice knitting needle whatever it is!

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
It's not a .30, I already said, 6.5mm ... and no I didn't buy up all the 176gr solids, but I did buy up almost all of the 235gr from SW when I hit Gunsite with them.
fngmike,
Closer, but SMALLER,
try, 120gr

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
No, I don't' have an 18" 260... my shortest 260 is 21" ...
I will probably use my Gradous 6.5CM with a 24" barrel or my 260 Headhunter, but I plan on using a 24".

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
You have a 18" .260? If so what are your thoughts and what bullets are you shooting through them. THe only long bbl rifle I have (28") is in .260 and have seriously been thinking of have it cut down wor another bbl for it but I was unsure of a short .260. My .308 is a 18" but was wondering how the .260 did. Vs a .308

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
I don't have an 18" 260, never got it and the one I used was returned... I DONT" have an 18" 260 I think I would know.
I have SHOT an 18" 260 and it tracks with a 155gr 308 going 3100fps, 8.8 mils to 1000 yards and you don't lose much wind drift, only elevation.
My SHORTEST 260 is 21" ... and it kicks ass, I shot a 3" group at 800 yards with it on video in about an 8MPH wind. No drama going short.

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
LOL, are you sure? I figured you might lose track of all of them. I just remembered the come up was ridiculously low with that rifle. Are going to bother trying to push these fast? They should run over 3k with no problem from a 24 I would think.

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
My 130VLD load in my 6.5CM is over 3000fps so I will try to get up there, 3050 shouldn't; be an issue.
Should reach 3100fps ... we'll see.

What ever they are, they will fit in a magazine. We have loaded them in an AR style platform..Steve

I have an 18" .260, 139 grainers at 2700 is easy peasy which for reference is what Black Hills 139 grainers clocked out of same barrel.
I have shot it to 850yds but I have no side by side comparison with a .308
With a DA of 9130ft my dope is 8.6 mils to 1000yds.
Looking forward to a review of this Predator projectile.

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
120gr. And if that's a 120gr 6.5, I'm gonna be mucho interested in your test results and availability.

Re: Guess what bullet I am Testing ?
I would love to know how that thing shoots. It looks like a lot of thought went into the shape and design. Are they available on the open market? I'm sure they are pricey.
