.264 cal bullet w/ best transonic performance

[granite wagon]

Ive become addicted to shorter barrel rifles. Thinking bout ordering a 18 to 20" prefit 6.5creedmoor ( 8 twist ) barrel ( probably standard saami chamber ).

Question : Does anyone have real data on what 6.5mm/.264cal. bullets transition well through transonic speeds and work in 8 twist??

Thanks!

142 Sierra has done well. Not fussy. Bit lower BC than some. 140 JLK has done well though many would say it shouldn’t by design.

142SMK
140 and 130hybrid
140 and 147 ELD
The few times I’ve had the 130 ELD at a mile it did well also.

140 hybrid is an ideal choice

I was thinking the 142smk was probably gonna be a possibility.

Thanks Y'all!

139 scenar is good. Shot 1930m this summer.

Nosler 140 RDF and Berger 153.5 and 156.

107 SMK, handles it well, but quite a bit sooner than the heavies.

90% of my shooting is done at impact distances in the subsonic range. Don't think you can't go wrong with a Berger Hybrid Target 140, but my buddy let me shoot some of his 135 JLKs those were at least as good.
