Are any of y’all shooting 6.5cm 1k+ with the 153 grain bullets? My 147 ELDM’s are a little slow but ordered a new 7.5 barrel and was planning on giving the 153.5 Bergers a try for 800+. Fallback plan was 135 A-tips.
I’d like to welcome you to the 21st century.It’s not a great time shooting anything under 30 cal at 1200 plus. The signature from larger bullets really helps and lobbing subsonic 6.5 through wind isn’t exactly precision shooting. Depends what you’re after but it certain can be done.
Just say no to 6.5 subsonic lobbing!It’s not a great time shooting anything under 30 cal at 1200 plus. The signature from larger bullets really helps and lobbing subsonic 6.5 through wind isn’t exactly precision shooting. Depends what you’re after but it certain can be done.

My brother and I have both went out to a mile a few times down at Coleman’s Creek. I was at 96 MOA with a Sierra 123 GR HPBT. This April we are trying a mile and quarter and at the end of May we are going to see if we can get two miles.How many of you are shooting 6.5cm to a mile or even 2000 yds?
And are any of you doing it from barrels in the 24-25 inch range?

Just found this thread, but jumping in.
Using the 153 a tip, I've pushed to a mile a few times, and at the KRG extreme the past two years, have pushed them past 1 mile(1800-1900 ish), as well as 220 and 2350.
Even using the 153 and having success with it, I'd say shots within 1500 are fair game, 1500-1800 is solid 2nd round impact territory, and 1800+ is really just for fun.

We took my Savage 6.5 out to a mile at Thunder Valley in Ohio. 24” barrel with 147’s at 2750ish.
It was a mild day and I went 2 for 12 but had a slight head wind so it was bouncing 4-5ft of each edge depending on the way the wind shifted.
It was fun but it felt like I was running an artillery piece lol.
I had plans to do a 28” barrel and run RL26 to see what I could do but went another route.
I have done it but would recommend the 6.5 Creedmoor for a mile. Spotting impact or misses is hard without great conditions. I need zero mirage to see and that doesn't happen much at my range. In low wind and high mirage sometimes I can hear a faint ding from 1 mile steel but that's without seeing where I hit or miss, not ideal but fun to lob a few out at 1 mile from time to time.
