Yep then proceeded to throw them away cause they shoot that bad. Think 12 gauge buck shot out of 3 rifles, 2 6.5x47L and 1 6.5cm. All 3 of those rifles hammer with 130 AR Hybrid 140 Hybrid and 140 ELD. I'm not the only one. Wouldnt waste your time
Padom what do you think the issue is with the bullets? How do they measure, weight, length, base to ogive?
Do you think it could be a twist rate issue? I searched 130 rdf on YouTube and there is an Englishman who has managed to get them to shoot well

Granted- I'm no loading / shooting specialist, but I'd get 3 in a nice cluster with the rdf130, then two flyers, it was crazy. Load up a few 140eld, and the groupings were spot on. I'll sell you what i've got left of the RDF...
Thanks mate I'm in Australia otherwise id take you up on that offer to give them a go. Don't think you guys are allowed to export projectiles.
I shot the 140 RDF for awhile as the throat in my 260 barrel was toast and they liked the long jump. Shot some great 3 round groups, but never any exceptional 5 round groups. Made impacts past 1000 in a few matches, but the targets were 1.5-2 moa. Switched back to 140 ELDMs with the new barrel.
You need a .060" to .070" jump with those.
I was having the same issue. Was running the 130s in my 6.5CM and getting great SD pushing them with 38.2 gr varget but groups would be 3-4 in a .5" and one or two would be half an inch off every time. I tried messing with OAL because i heard that they were very picky with jump and the load where i got consistent .5-.75 MOA groups was at an OAL of 2.886 which caused feeding issues in my AI mags but bumping the OAL back down opened the groups up.
