Re: 6.5 Norma 130gr
I have done some VERY limited testing with some 130gr Diamond Line bullets that had the moly removed.
I primarily shoot the 130gr Berger VLD from my 260" 260 and get 0.5" @ 100yd accuracy over 5 shots, which is about MY limit as a marksman.
With the Norma I'm 2.875" OAL to the lands in my barrel, vs. 2.950" for the Bergers. With an identical charge of H4350 or RL17, the Normas seem to run 25-50fps slower than the Bergers. Can't really speak for accuracy as I was more concerned about velocity & pressure during my testing.
I did get a 500ct box of Golden Targets for Christmas and have some rounds loaded up with the intent to send them downrange tomorrow.
Bryan Litz found the 130gr Norma to have BCs of 0.575 G1/0.294 G7...and if you buy from Midway with a $10 off coupon they end up being less than $28/100.
